Many were unfamiliar in this crowd, though that was normal enough now that he didn’t feel as lost, at least. He picked out Sunjata, his oft-absent employer — and one of the heroes of the coast, so reports went — but his body language all but screamed that he wasn’t looking for company. Something had happened to the man, beyond the near-disaster of the exploding mountain, and Rance simply did not know him well enough to be asking about it.
He spotted Jigano before he actually got to any table serving drinks, catching sight of him just as he was waving. Rance offered a lazy wave and a lopsided smile in return and might have gone up to him if a rather energetic young person hadn’t waved at him as well and caught his attention. “Sure?” He arched a brow and joined them at the table of lantern supplies, scooping a cup of whatever was in the bowl and taking a drink which was, disappointingly, non-alcoholic. “Can’t promise I’ll be any good.”
