Cut short, a bucket of ice water dropped down his spine at Safrin's name. He glanced at the angry bookshelf, then around at the oasis he had discovered, now closed to him forever, it seemed. There was little to be done but draw his dignity around himself and nod to Tarasha and Ronin. "Perhaps it's already gone. I'll head back and keep the tunnel stabilized." He knew when he wasn't wanted, at least, and he wouldn't stay to ruin the chances of the others.
Head held high and senses alert for trouble on the way back, he moved back into the tunnel, keeping an eye out for anything that might have followed them and ready to use his magic to reinforce the tunnel if it started shaking again.
{Jigano finished!}
