However did Phoebe manage that? he asked, curiosity growing with the vagueness of Sunjata's answers. Did she use that medical looking-glass device? He'd heard about it from Rexanna but not seen it himself yet. It did sound like a fascinating creation, and clearly was proving its worth beyond the Blight's diagnosis if it could tell the difference between a cold and something more serious just by looking at a few drops of blood! Flooded lungs sounded like pneumonia, though, and he peered down at his friend with a bit more concern.
So... you were told your lungs were flooding... and decided that swimming was the cure? he asked, his tone dryly teasing but a little worried as well. There were worse life choices to make - marrying someone you didn't seem to particularly like on a dare being one of them - but it was a short list.
Isuma pressed into the scritches with a rumbling purr, always happy to get scratches, but as soon as Sunjata went to work she returned to Haai's side for a friendly tussle. Jigano realized his assistant was now too distracted to be much help, and he rumbled amusement that set the water around him to rippling with the vibrations. Raking idle talons through the tumbled stones beneath the clear water to see what he could turn over, he nodded at hearing that he'd met Maea. I'll be coming over more often then, he admitted with a mental chuckle. I'm quite partial to that cider. I really hope we can find someone willing to take over the orchard and the pressing from her. Be a shame to lose it, though I understand her wanting to make a clean break from all that she's lost. Not unlike himself and Sunjata, in a way.
