Ianto didn't need to be told twice, and he didn't really know what made him follow the bard into the maze on inky paws; a side effect, perhaps, from his time with Arduinna the past half a season? Or maybe he was just fed up of being alone. Either way, Jigano would have a red fox near enough leaning against his legs as they walked further into the labyrinth.
Well, I hope that we are up to the challenge, he mused. And that he didn't bolt at the first sign of trouble, as was his nature to do. Not that bolting would achieve much, if what the other Attuned had to say about it was any indication.
A black tipped ear flicked towards the sound of his voice as he explained about the herb, Ianto's golden eyes instantly growing a touch sharper. You believe the herb may heal the blight. It was a statement, not a question - for who hadn't heard of the affliction on the Greatwood and her people... and now on the Hollowed Grounds, too?
I've not heard of it, but if I pick up any scent of something... herby, I'll let you know, he told the bard. The fox's head lowered a touch, as if to put nose to the ground, though in reality it was Jigano's words which had caused the change.
I feel better yes, thank you, Ianto murmured. I was drugged. Arduinna had been training me for the Cloister since season's beginning.
