"Well then... shall we say next week, after dinner?" he offered for their musical interlude. "We can do it here in the Guildhall, if you'd like. It's usually quiet here in the evenings, after the dayshift goes home and before Sam comes by." His Ascended friend was far too brave in the face of the sun for Jigano's comfort, even as he couldn't help but be proud of the man for facing his fears and overcoming his weaknesses.
"I will, though... since we know now that the Fae don't want us there, we don't go as often. At least, we try not to go without reason," he added with a wry smile. "Even if they are not always the best reasons, admittedly." He had been lucky so far, but even the bard knew that luck wouldn't last forever, and he couldn't forget the anger in Delah's eyes when Arduinna had brought them to the Village. Caution would have to be applied at some point... especially if he didn't want any more of his friends and guildmates to be captured!
"You are a friend, Seiji," the bard said gently, but there was a grateful warmth in his eyes at the compliment. "And now, a colleague as well. I am glad to help. Repay me with music when we meet next week, yes?" he suggested with a grin. "And give Kiada my regards. She may be able to tell you more about the Fae, as well, if you're curious. She spent time in their Village as well." As a captured prisoner, but for the sake of the young woman's pride he didn't say it that way.
