Jigano wasn't a morning person.
The blight had done nothing to change that, but the blight lingered only in slight tremors and the faintest lingering shadows in his eyes. If they were going to do this, he wanted them to have a full day to do so, even if that meant getting up early to help Rory tend the animals and let the hunter braid his hair back for him before he left.
He waited outside the opening to the Underground, a rope tied over his shoulder and Ludo's Lantern in his hand. He had his first-aid kit, just in case, and his journal with the maps he had been making each time he had ventured down below, from his own wanderings and the hunt for Emmett to what he had been able to remember of the trip he and Amalia had made, chasing a starmote pellmell through the claustrophobic darkness. His sleeves were full of useful smaller odds and ends, and he felt as ready as he could be after Fae and Queens and Blights had prevented them from coming back for so long.
He shivered, pulling his cloak tighter in the early morning light, and Isuma chirruped encouragingly on his shoulder. He had spoken of it to Amalia, of course, as something they had been meaning to do for seasons past. By extension Deimos would know as well, and there were apologies and reparations to be made there. He had also mentioned it to Kiada, and her help and company would be welcome as always, as would her keen mind and bright wit.
This PQ is to try and find the way back towards the library Safrin uncovered for Amalia, and to explore the pit trap they found nearby with its mysterious footprints!

(as LongNight is fast approaching, this PQ will be updating every 48 hours - or sooner if everyone responds in time!)
