"I'll be back in a bit, then! Don't vanish on me before you get your dinner!" He teased with a wink, but there was a pulse of honest concern through the Attuned bond as well. Curiosity was eating him alive, wondering where Ianto had gone and what things he had seen in the time he'd been away, but such questions would go better with a meal and a cider, and Jigano waved to his fellow fox before trotting back towards home, shifting to raven form when he was out of sight of those gathered and winging his way back to the farmhouse - which luckily wasn't too far away.
The twilight visit had timed things perfectly for dinner, the pot pies just coming off the hearth while Jigano explained why he'd be taking one and running. Luckily his mate seemed amused by his trade, and the bard quickly wrapped the pie up in a towel to keep it warm, depositing it and a bottle of cider into a basket for his return. It was a bit too heavy to fly with in his raven-form, but horse-form proved a swift means of travel, the basket's handle held delicately in his teeth until he returned to the edge of the gathering of those who remained after completing their trades. The pot pie was still warm, and the cider still chilled, and Jigano cleaned the handle before he offered the basket with a flourish as he accepted the square of silk in return with a devilish grin. "A fair trade, indeed! Thank you, Ianto!"
