He might not have had Loren’s breadth of talent for Healing, but Jigano was far from powerless. Though his ability to command the beasts away from him didn’t seem to work, his body compensated swiftly, plucking the golden threads of his healing magic and sending the energy washing through him to soothe and ease away the stings until the wasps were dead or fled. The memory of the pain lingered, however, and he grimaced as he went back to his previous task, this time using his magic to uproot the plants rather then the earth around them and capturing them in his bag. By the time Deimos peered out the bard had managed to clean away the overgrowth and the ground was even and clear, ready for the tread of marching feet.
The list of tasks to come sounded a bit easier, though Jigano was still far from comfortable with carpentry. His lean frame hid more muscle than he had ever known before, though, working on Rory’s farm having toughened him considerably over the seasons, and he gave the General a lopsided smile. ”I can lift and carry with you,” he offered cheerfully, following the tall man (but not quite the tallest in the room for once) to begin the task of shifting the chairs and tables, dressers and couches out into the yard. Smaller items were easy enough, but he was willing to follow Deimos’s direction when it came to the larger, more awkward ones that required two people to life and maneuver around corners and through doors.
