High pitched noises were not, generally, something that animals with sensitive hearing wanted to be around, and Isuma was no exception. At the sound Quanil was making, Isuma dropped her dinner and promptly took off from Jigano's arms in distress, broad blue-tipped wings catching the Longheat light for a few moments before she dove back into the trees and out of sight.
Jigano sighed and bent down to retrieve the mouse, wrapping it in a scrap of handkerchief and slipping it into a pouch at his side. "She's usually very friendly, but you hurt her ears with that... noise." He arched a slightly admonishing brow at the youngest Seeker's lack of control. "And she was scared by that outburst. No one's ever... ah, lost control like that around her before." Even young Dante, who was at least five of six years younger than Quanil, had taken Isuma in stride with a Natural's calm aplomb for the local fauna. He turned to coax the mudman target to flow back into the earth, retrieving his first staff as he did so. "Would you have reacted to her that way if she had been on the shoulder of a Fae in the Greatwood?" he asked gently, a little worried at how such an outburst would have been met by the winged folk to the north.
