Both Remi and Sam had memories taken from them - or rather, had given memories away. Remi's most recent experience with it had been a punishment though, beyond his control, and it seemed almost more of a punishment for those who he no longer remembered than for himself. He might regret knowing he had lost things, but he couldn't truly know what had been lost. Sam's willing flight into ignorance of his past would be something that Jigano would not soon forget, and especially when he realized that any memory Sam had that might touch upon Remi was now untrustworthy and suspect. Even memories that they had together, the bard and the bookmaker. It was a sobering and depressing thought, and the last thing he needed on top of his other burdens, but what choice did he have?
The cat provided a welcome distraction, and a chance to recover some of his poise as he obediently petted her and listened to the history of her name. "Mia? How lovely,", he murmured appreciatively. "A good thing she is a girl, then. Or would it have mattered?" There was no reason a boy cat couldn't have been called Mia, he supposed. He frowned a little, though in thought rather than disapproval at hearing that Remi had been over recently, and partially transformed himself. "Hmmm I don't know if that really counts," he said ruefully. "His lion form is so much bigger than her anyways, and if he was only partially transformed she may not have really considered him another 'cat' like her. If she'd met Bobi, Edy's young bobcat, that might be a better test... or even Chunk." The bard sat back, closing his eyes to focus on his own bond for a minute before he tilted his head to the side, the smallest ghost of a smile on his lips as he reassured himself that Isuma was well. "There is someone I might bring to meet her at some point, when we have made it through the current crisis. But only if having another animal around wouldn't upset her."
