Isuma was always happy to be fussed over, whether by man or god, and she purred happily as she arched up into the touch of the rag over her back and wings, golden eyes squeezed closed in an undeniably contented expression on her soft-feathered little face.
I remember, Jigano flicked an ear in a canine nod, ruefully realizing that his fox form would not allow him to sing it. His eyes were for the objects as they began to hover, however, blue eyes wide as they began to spin and he watched them, entranced, while Isuma ran in a circle beneath them, peeping excitedly until she stumbled from dizziness and had to sit abruptly down, blinking and swaying woozily.
Jigano watched, unblinking, until the flare of light forced him to close his eyes against the brightness. When he opened them again the lantern was whole and complete before him, and he hopped to his feet in surprise before leaning forward to sniff at it curiously. The orbs that moved towards it, then... Are they souls on their way to Mort? he asked curiously, glancing to the masked god with awe still widening his blue eyes at the miracle that had just occurred. Thank you, Ludo. I will try to find lost spirits to bring to you... and perhaps on Long Night it might catch some of those who have been reluctant to go home. A dangerous proposition, possibly a lethal one, as he had learned last Deepfrost. But the risk would be worth it, if he could protect his friends and those who came after them.
Is there anything else I can do to help you? he asked, settling back and cocking his head at the soul guide, gratitude for the opportunity the lantern represented shining in his eyes and the pert forward tilt of his ears, even as Isuma reep!ed curiously and pounced after one of the glowing orbs in playful exuberance.
