Jigano's smile coupled with the information he gave, however much it might only be a suggestion for the time being, filled Ronin with excitement. He all but lit up at the idea of it - portals within Caido, to allow them to travel... to travel... well, wherever they liked. Having lived in Northaven (trapped) only to be thrown into the Hollowed Grounds (still trapped), the idea of free roaming through an entire world practically made his toes tingle.
"That would be quite something." He nodded in agreement, and he had to force himself not to become distracted given that the fox was starting to explain the sort-of-very-important things he had missed whilst he was dead.
Ronin listened, quietly and thoughfully, to all that the other man said. Little by little, his smile faded away into something much more pensive, and he drummed his fingers thoughtfully upon the table. Even Sugar, eager at play, noted his change in mood, and she swooped away from Isuma to come to perch upon his shoulder. The guildmaster was silent for a few long moments after Jigano was finished.
"I was very hasty," he said, his tone guilty but not necessarily self-pitying. "I had lost Vanya during LongNight and was learning how to be a father to a motherless newborn. The Spire Demon was a target for my anger as much as it was something I felt needed to be dealt with." He let out a long, deep sigh and shook his head.
"Once I was a captain in an army, and I brought people together. Never did I think I would be responsible for creating such a divide. But... I would like to try and fix this. To bridge this gap. I have a lot of amends to make for my impulsiveness."
