After Loren had seemed so knowledgeable about Frey earlier, Jigano wasn't surprised to hear that deity's name fall from the Launceleyn's lips, but it was still interesting to have it confirmed. He nodded thoughtfully as his friend explained how such a connection had come to be, lips quirking into a wry smile as the other man echoed what Rexanna had told him around this time last year, about Frey wanting people to live their lives for themselves. It was good advice, even if he himself was terrible at following it.
He stayed quiet as the answers continued, unsurprised to discover that it was Frey who had helped Loren reach Attunement with Caido after all else that they had done for the man. "Your form does, indeed, seem well-suited to fighting," he murmured with amused respect. The question in return, however, had him hesitating a moment out of old habit. It was hardly a secret on Caido anymore, though, and he could find no harm in sharing that once-hoarded piece of his history.
"I did," he said before the silence could stretch too far into awkwardness. "Which only made sense, given that I wasn't human on my world. That part of my heritage remained to me here, even though my magic was initially lost." A light shrug as he knelt beside Loren, for lack of magic was no longer an issue. He reached out to prod at one of the fallen flowers, and sharp leaf waved weakly to find him off as he did so. Grimacing slightly he used a stone to crush it more thoroughly with his earth magic, both to end its suffering and to end its threat. "Tenacious things. Did you have anything like them in Northhaven or Northwind?"
