Down and down the shark spiraled on his slow path, as the light faded to a lingering brightness above and the darkness swallowed them further. A descent into the mouth of an ocean volcano, Apopo's elder brother from what Jigano had seen from above, and wondered in morbid fascination just how deep its gullet ran.
And how deep he could swim, for that matter, in this strange new form.
Sunjata might not have been the company he would have chosen for this venture, but since he was the company that was there the bard accepted the unlikelihood of their encounter and didn't fight it.
Didn't mean he was happy about it, either, but he was weary of running. Ah. Yes, that might explain it, he rumbled, considering all that had come and gone since then. Maea had been a part of Amalia's life, too, even if their relationship was a complicated one. Sam was her brother, as it turned out, and Nate had cheated on him with Sunjataor so Sam had told the tale and then apparently run back to the Guildmaster's arms before Maea's spirit had made the journey to Mort's Halls. Sunjata seemed to find himself at the center of a constant vortex of bad decisions, any one of which could be forgiven... but taken as a whole it became far harder to swallow.
How is Remi doing? A question deliberately designed to pull his thoughts away from the dark tumble that mirrored his physical descent. Does he like being Governor? Questions perhaps better aimed at the man himself, but Jigano rarely saw him, and had no desire to force his company on the troubled younger man.
