Jigano was getting the definite sense that Saiden was a jaded soul, unused to trust or giving anything away for free. Still, he'd helped the bard out, even if it had been intended as a challenge to put the interloping foreign firemage in his place, and Jigano certainly had no problem offering his healing in exchange.
Though if he kept it up, he might find his pun-ishment merely delayed, not erased from the ledger.
Noting Saiden's wariness, Jigano hummed a few notes to bring Isuma's head up and the gryphlet fluttering back to his shoulder and away from the man's precious boat. "Well then, I'll be glad to come back again for more training," he agreed easily, watching with open curiosity as the boat was prepped and loosed and set adrift once more. With Saiden safely on his way the bard collapsed back into the sand to stare up at the blue sky, chuckling as Isuma 'tackled' him and they played tug with a small piece of driftwood. "What an interesting fellow," he murmured to her, content to relax and play for a bit before taking wing and heading back to the portal as the sun began to set.
