Jigano shifted his weight as Remi changed position and composition, the alchemist going from two legs to four. I'll do what I can, he agreed cautiously, tensing and starting to leap from his perch to try and get ahead of wherever their invisible Ascended friend had wandered off to. He couldn't make the some bold assurances he once had, not with Safrin's rebuke still ringing in his soul, but that didn't mean he would stop trying to help his friends entirely.
Alas, even that more modest intention was struck down as a wave of sound struck through the cave, ringing through the raven's ears so that his wings stuttered in their flight and he tumbled from the air as up and down suddenly switched places with dizzying ease. "Sam!" he tried to croak, but the cry had dazed and deafened him enough that he couldn't even hear his own voice, much less find his invisible friend in the murk of the cave.
Instinctively he shifted to his snake form, heedless of his audience as he scrambled to reorient himself in a form that was low to the ground and more dependent on vibrations in the earth than sounds in the air. The tip of his tail curled tightly through the ring of his lantern as he flicked his tongue out in distress, peering towards the source of the noise and trying to see any sign of Sam returning.
