Jigano still had a few stones that he'd gathered from the Whispershore in Longheat to make his suncatcher for the Midnight Party, and he'd brought the best of the lot today. Ashy and smudged from helping with the cleanup efforts, he made his way to the pool in the late afternoon light to admire the beauty of the place, as there had been no time to do the last time he'd been here.
The L'ma had gone back to the depths and he had been drawn to other places and undertakings since then, both at home and abroad. Festivals, training sessions, council meetings, prayers...
And Deepfrost just around the corner, with LongNight lurking at its end.
The warmth of the day belied the cold weather back home, and he was weak enough to linger in its comfort a little while longer before returning to the chill of Leafchange in the Hollowed Grounds. Isuma appreciated it as well, though more for the shiny beetles that she could still pounce on in the undergrowth as her companion's thoughts drifted like the tide he watched.
He rolled the flashing emerald stone between his fingers, green as envy and clear as the ice of the Sea of Glass, before tossing it in to the waters of the pool to sink like the stone it was, casting his wish with it.
