The fox looked decidedly pleased and amused at being called 'wise.' He sat with his thick tail draped around the side of his body to warm his toes, looking up at Seiji as the gryphon romped over to look up at them both with big yellow eyes. The young man seemed oddly unhappy now that he had made his offering, sighing and distracted. Jigano wondered what was going through his head. Had he been hoping the sparkbird would appear early? He was also an outlander after all, and more recently arrived than the bard. it was entirely possible that he didn't understand what was happening with the approach of Long Night, especially when so many other outlanders who had been there longer were also confused!
Jigano glanced down at Isuma as she got bored with watching Seiji and began stalking towards his feet. The fox's ears perked forward, gaze sharpening as he wondered at her intentions, but then she crouched, pale rump wiggling, and pounced for a lace on the man's boot, attempting to catch it in her beak and tug fiercely - though not very successfully - at it if she caught it. The fox cocked his head and then snorted his amusement, glancing up once more at Seiji's voice and the kindly question.
The answer was... well, he had his den, but no place with solid walls and a door he could lock. He did have a few offers in town, if things became dangerous, but Seiji's open generosity once more struck a chord with the foxy bard. He blinked up at the man and gave himself another thorough shake to settle his fur before letting out a quiet yip of gratitude.
