In truth he was glad that Remi chose to fly. Not only could he serve as a guide, but it got him out of the way of any more unpleasant surprises the labyrinth might throw at them now that they were on their way out. The bard didn't spare the transformation a second glance, focusing instead on lengthening his stride and watching his footing in the snow that crunched beneath his feet.
The unkind slings and arrows of outraged squirrels followed him, but it was harder for them to aim while they chased, and he didn't intend to give them a chance to catch up. A glance skyward showed Remi not so high above, and Jigano grinned and threw off his stride for a moment to wave, keeping an eye on the handsome bird now as he let the alchemist guide his path - hopefully to freedom.
He'd have a few welts and bloody prickles to show for their adventure before he escaped the fuzzy flash mob on his heels, but his long legs and nimble feet would even the playing field. The squirrels might be able to take shortcuts, but not even the shifting of the maze could help them catch him for long before they had to stow their weapons and go back on the chase.
