Never having met one of the devils or demons from his world, Adam couldn't really comment if his had been as keen on paperwork, mostly he'd heard about them burning people eternally and so on. "Did you ever actually meet any in person, then? Did they have horns and hooves and stuff?" There'd been plenty of depictions of hell in the religious buildings in his old world, so he knew what they were meant to look like. A D A M

"No devils," Jigano mused thoughtfully, a faint frown creasing his forehead at the unpleasant memories. "But a few demons, yes. Lesser ones, at least. No hooves on them, but their skulls came to a sort of... upward curving point at the back," he turned his head to gesture behind at the base of his skull. "Kind of like a horn, I suppose? They looked like six foot tall skeletons wrapped in slimy leather hide, with long tails and talons. Nasty beings." He didn't mind leaving their ilk behind on Golarion when he'd come to Caido! "It was a portal to the Abyss," he explained succinctly, then relented and gave Adam a wry smile. "When the god Arodan disappeared a hundred years or so ago it disrupted the balance, and opened a tear between our plane and the Abyss, and the demons started coming through. That's the Worldwound. A lot of good men and women have made it their life's work to push back the incursion... for several generations now. The Fifth Crusade were supposedly on the cusp of final victory when I came here, so I guess I'll never know if it worked." He swirled the cider in his glass morosely, then shook off the shadow of frustration that not knowing always cast over him. He turned the question around on Adam, asking about what he thought of his abduction to here. The answer was very Adam-ish, and Jigano nodded wryly at the mention of changing for the better, toasting his friend in silent agreement. "Ah well. It sounds as though Amalia will happily babysit if you do decide to have kids now that you're here," the bard said cheekily, even though he suspected neither of them were really in the market for offspring. Not now, perhaps not ever.

”Yes, of course,” Jigano answered back, tilting his head to mirror Adam with owlish confusion as to why that wasn’t widely known. ”Devils are creatures of order from the plane of Hell. Evil, yes, but followers of their own rigid laws and contracts. Demons are creatures of chaos from the Abyss, sowing destruction for the joy of it.” He shook his head at Adam’s description, utterly bemused. ”I wish there was only one devil. But no, on my world demons and devils can’t stand each other and are as apt to fight each other as anyone else.” He shrugged. ”Maybe,” Jigano mused to the mention of a mirror back to the old words. ”Or… perhaps it would be wiser to let things be, and embrace our present and future.” He smiled wryly at his friend. ”Not that I’m not curious! But I think… it would be hard to see the lives we can no longer touch, and the tragedies we would ask ourselves if he would have prevented if only we had been there instead of here.” And he carried too much guilt already, as Ludo and Safrin had both told him. Mention of the minimal risk of kids with Pet(er) had the bard chuckling and he raised the bottle in agreement. ”Aye, we’re both in agreement on that! I never know quite what to do with them.”

"...You make an excellent point, good sir," Jigano said after a moment, grinning ruefully as he toasted Adam with his bottle. "Different worlds, different... demons and devils, I suppose. But no, I mostly ran into them on separate occasions." He had run into devils, he remembered belatedly The swashbuckler's question brought a sad smile to the bard's lips and he gave a gentle shake of his head. "Me? No. I... left them all behind several years before I came to Caido. I was running from my past for a good five years before I ended up here. If any had tried to find me in that time... well, they didn't succeed. I regret it now, though at the time I was too wounded and lost in my own head to see the additional pain I was causing them." He had never expected to see them again, in truth, which made the portal to Caido far less traumatic for him than for those who had left ties to friends and family dangling and broken in the wake of their transport to this brutal new world. Jigano, bard par excellence, very nearly choked on his cider as the word 'dadly' was used. "Gods least fortunate, don't even joke about it!" he begged. "One of me is already too many!"
