She was at it again, stealing hearts and making friends out of everyone she met, Jigano thought with rueful adoration for his little one, the love he felt for her overcoming even the worry he felt for his missing friends. Isuma happily butted her head against Killian's offered hand, demanding scritches behind her rounded feline ears and into the soft feathers of her head and neck. She was perfectly happy to be fussed over and her companion smiled weakly at how quickly she had captured Killian's attention. Normally he would have been stifling silent laughter, but with the current situation the smile was the best he could do.
"Companions here are, ah, something rather special," Jigano explained, the smile lingering as the gryphlet purred into Killian's touch. "Some creatures may form a special bond with you, far beyond that of a simple pet. Isuma can feel my emotions, as I can feel hers, and we can communicate in images and sense memories, even see through each other's eyes at times. She's smarter than any normal animal as well... though she's still very young. She only hatched this past Deepfrost, and hasn't learned to fly yet," he admitted fondly. "One of her good friends is a dragonling who bonded to the leader of the Monster Hunter's Guild. Another is the... unicorn, Isla," his voice hitched oddly as he said the name, even the weak smile fading. "She is... bonded... to Remi the alchemist."
