Ianto was not forthcoming with information and inwardly Jigano frowned at the fox's reticence, but Caiside's story held too many questions and not enough answers, distracting the lorekeeper briefly as he considered what his friend had shared. Invisible, but not intangible, hm? Nasty opponents to face in battle. I'm glad you were unharmed. If those were the 'Fae' Ianto mentioned, perhaps they-
Kiada's cry cut the air, and Jigano took wing immediately, seeking the freedom and advantage of height before he knew what had happened. Her mindvoice froze his thoughts for several long heartbeats as he reached out with his thoughts, cawing a harsh, worried call as he stretched for his Amalia, his guildmate, his dear friend and heartsister...
And found nothing.
Caiside, don't let the fox escape, came a whip-crack order, the bard's mental tone sheathed in ice and cuttingly precise as anger honed his focus. If he's led us into a trap... the raven trailed off, thoughts grim as his paranoia spiked. Perhaps Ianto was innocent, but the circumstantial evidence didn't lend itself to that conclusion. Kiada, get back to the Settlement and let them know what we've learned. Rory, Deimos... Rexanna, even. I'm going to take a look at our backtrail. As a fox his nose would be keener, but his raven's eyes were just as good, and he hoped his smaller body would make for less of a target. Swooping back along the trail it wasn't anything missing that caught his eye, but something where it didn't belong.
A puff of silvery hairs caught the light on the ground, and he dropped down to examine them and the earth around them. He didn't see signs of a struggle, but there were claw marks that didn't belong to Amalia, and a few bent twigs leading off to the side. His feathers fluffed up and he hopped towards them, voice stretching back, weak from distance, to the stag and fox. She's been taken, he nearly hissed, eyes darting around, seeking further ambush. We're going after her. Ianto, you better have a damn good explanation for this. Jigano could appreciate a good trick as much as the next fox, but not when it endangered his friends.
Caiside, keep an eye on that fox!
Kiada, get help!
Ianto, what's going on?
