Caiside didn't understand the reaction he was causing, but Jigano was clearly startled, and upset, every time he "spoke". That alone was enough to keep Caiside carefully silent, even his body held carefully still. After what felt like an entirely too long stand off, the pale bird shifted, Jigano flying up to a position on a much higher branch. One where they were eye to eye, which Caiside immediately felt bad for. He could have moved to meet the other halfway, kneeling down to make their difference in stature less apparent.
Jiganos explanation only made him feel more guilty, kept Caiside quiet for a moment longer. He considered his words, and tried to keep them as brief as he could. I'm sorry. I had never considered my voice would be ill received. His head dipped again, the gesture apologetic this time. It wasn't a transgression he understood, but the other man was his friend, and his actions were not made more acceptable by the fact that he hadn't though they were harmful.
A snort left him at the comment that followed, he could all but hear the warm smile that accompanied the words, though circumstances did dampen it somewhat. I am as well as I can be. He confirmed, before asking a question he wasn't able to hold in any longer. What where you doing with those birds?
