Another emergency shift, Jigano thought ruefully, cautiously flapping a bit closer to get a better look at the great creature Remi had become. As reassuring as it was to know that it was Remi's mind in the manticore, the raven's more primal instincts were still very much aware that he was snack-sized compared to the much larger predator. But I'm glad you were able to save her! It would have been far too cruel a fate for Melita's bright light to have been extinguished by a vampire gourd, when Fangorn was at her side. But the big gourd had the blight? As much as Jigano had hoped to avoid thinking of that tonight, he found his thoughts circling back around to it, a weight falling into his tone.
You said it grabbed her... was she bitten by it, then? he asked cautiously, thinking of the last time he had seen her as they made lanterns; the lethargy in her carriage and the dullness of her usually-bright eyes.
He shivered, feathers fluffing out, and he had to steady himself carefully so he didn't lose altitude again. He fell in with Remi's circling, keeping around head-height with the manticore but staying far enough away that they could both maneuver without bumping into each other. May I ask what you're doing out here? he asked cautiously, tone courteous but uncertain where he stood with the alchemist these days. Did they ever know where they stood with each other? I was... trying to escape my thoughts for a little while, he offered in return, mental tone growing quieter and more withdrawn. Just seeing how high I could go, and then how fast I could dive. Maybe part of him had been hoping he could dive fast enough to escape his problems, but alas, physics didn't work like that, even on Caido.
