"...He was upset about the Blight, same as everybody is at the moment." Sam said, going no further than that. Remi had basically had the same argument with him as Jigano, just..more heated.

As they walked up he listened. He had known Edy had been Queen, but he was still confused about just how that had come to be - there had been one terrifying Queen when he'd left, then two alright Queens and a King when he'd come back; he was not experienced in monarchy but he wasn't sure that was how it worked. He was even more confused when Jigano continued (the question 'you were going to marry Edy?!?!' surfacing for a moment, before he noticed marriage did not seem to be a part of this contract). Turning to speak, there was no judgement in his eyes; Sam did not particularly mind who was on the throne (now that they had one) as long as they left him to his business.
