This wasn't a place for the claustrophobic, that was abundantly clear. Jigano had always done better in places like this in his fox form - and more recently, his snake form - than on two legs. Self-conscious though it made him as they descended into the darkness, lit primarily by the white lantern, he shifted his eyes and ears to those of a fox, stretching his senses to listen both ahead and behind them.
It was not his ears that found something first, but his vulpine eyes. He raised a cautionary hand to the friends behind him to alert them to what he saw, then paused by the small opening. "I'll stand guard, if you want to investigate," he whispered softly. So saying, he stood by alertly with the lantern, ready to place himself between his fellow spelunkers and any danger that might approach from the tunnels.
Jigano pauses for investigation, and readies his action to put himself between the others and physical harm that might come from the tunnels or opening.
