There had been too much of Queens and Warchiefs, goddesses and monsters of late. Jigano was tired of the weight of the world upon his shoulders, of lost souls upon his heart, of failures on his mind. He needed to be reminded of the reasons he struggled against the trials of this world, needed to be grounded in the simple joys of life and remember who had been before curses and blights and kingships.
He was far more subdued than he had been then, but at least the blight no longer stirred his temper and tripped his tongue. When he saw the note pinned to the board in the Temple it was a welcome chance to repay a debt for Hotaru's help with the perch - little good though building it had done. It didn't change how much her assistance had meant to him later, once the blight had bled away to Arduinna's blackened form, or how glad he was to be able to seek her out again now that he could greet her properly.
Given how the pair had arrived to the Perch, he was unsurprised to see Deimos in the building ahead of him, but things were - to his knowledge - cautiously neutral between them at the moment, and he nodded a polite if solemn greeting to the General.
To Hotaru he found a small smile as he offered a short bow and set a clanking bag of tools down beside him. "I'd like to lend a hand, if you'll have me," he greeted her.
