Jigano didn't really mind Caiside's approach. The other man was a friend, and even if he wasn't the raven still had his wings. It was unexpectedly reassuring, knowing he had the power of flight - his own power, not a potion or spell cast by someone else that left him flailing and fighting to control it. Stories are better than songs like this, I feel, the bard admitted with that flicker of wry humor surfacing from the tension of his shared thoughts. But if not stories, then what would you suggest? Math equations just didn't hold the same appeal, after all!
Yes, Jigano chuckled wryly. The roaring lion, when we were helping Sam set up his bookshop. And the soaring hawk. Jigano's thoughts were an echo of Caiside's on Remi's immaturity, but he did not 'voice' them consciously. I only met Ronin... well, twice, I suppose, though the first time was so brief it hardly counted. He seemed a good man, though. I regret not having the chance to know him better. The raven shook its head, cawing quietly. But for what comes next... the gods are at war, it seems. They will resist our efforts to escape this cage they made for the Ascended, and I doubt our freedom will be gained without further conflict, the lorekeeper confided somberly to his antlered friend. Have a care for yourself, Caiside. The Voice and her fellows from the past may have brought this down on all of us... but I'm not so sure that either tale I've heard is entirely the truth. I suspect we'll be forced to choose sides before this is over, and that choice won't be an easy one... and there may not be a 'right' side, regardless.
