"Seconded," Jigano agreed fervently to the wish for a quiet LongNight. "Some of our people will be going to Halo for the season, before it closes. Probably mostly farmers and tradespeople with small children," he mused. "Not too many Outlanders in that group so far, that I've heard. But I suspect - I hope - that more will shelter here for the week. It sounds like Rexanna and Remi worked something out. The fewer people in the Grounds for the monsters to focus on, the better. Though I suppose that's all the more reason for some of us to stay... as 'bait' to keep their attention," he added wryly, not particularly liking that train of thought, but not seeing a way around it.
He just wished that Rory wasn't one of them.
It was with relief that Ronin accepted his offer, and the bard smiled warmly back at his friend as he blew on his half of the fruit before taking another bite. "That will help. Especially when I'll be singing. I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to get in and out yet... but having a luxere around to help light the doorway and hopefully keep the shadows at bay might provide some protection." He hesitated, then tilted his head soberly at Ronin. "I did offer to the Council that I wouldn't stay with the rest of those sheltering in Sanctuary, since I'll need to be opening a door at least once. I may be at the farmhouse with Rory when I'm not out with you and the lantern, if I can devise a way to get in and out without putting him in danger."
