Sam had not known Edy well, but what Jigano said of her was not surprising to him. She had helped him realise some things about himself and grow his confidence, but hardly in a gentle or tactful way. Wessex and Ronin were an odd pair of rulers, especially given Ronin's illness. But things had gotten better, he supposed. Samuel

The empty room was, admittedly, anticlimactic and Jigano frowned, feeling frustration bubble up and trying to escape in a snarl that he fought to swallow back. He bit down on the inside of his cheek to focus himself, trying not to lash out at Sam for wanting to give up so soon. "Whatever its purpose was," he said, clearly disappointed. "Who knows, now." He pulled the door gently closed, even though it would never lock again and looked up the spiral, his frown lightening a little. "I'd like to keep going, if you don't mind. At least a little further. Surely there's something other than broom closets in this place, after all the trouble we had getting into it." He tried to push a wry smile past the black twist of annoyance in his gut. "Let's go a little farther, at least. It seems a shame to go back empty handed." His smile might have been a bit weak, but he shouldered his medical pack again, rolling the needles between his fingers as he kept them out. He led the way up again around another bend of the stairs, another door appearing out of the shadows as his white lantern revealed the details above them. Jigano turned to raise a brow at Sam, gesturing to it with a bit more of his usual spark. "Care to try again? I need to do some work on these before I can try and use them." So saying, he put the point of one against the stone and started tapping it to dull it and try to get a bend in the metal.

"Would it be strange to ask Remi to summon me up a set of lockpicks?" he asked, only a little rhetorically as he tried to coax the metal of his needles to bend without breaking. "If I can't get these sorted out, your strength will be the only way to go, at least for tonight..." And indeed, Sam's strength was both impressive and successful. The bard blinked a little, still surprised to see the gentle bookmaker exert such force in spite of his physically unimposing build. Looking past his ginger friend, Jigano's eyes narrowed in initial disappointment as it seemed they had found a larger, fancier, equally empty broom closet. "At least it wasn't a trap..." he murmured, trailing off as a small reflection caught the lantern light in the center of the floor. He paused, sharing a look with his friend before cautiously stepping through the door and kneeling to examine the innocuous-looking metallic bean. "Mechanical beans for mechanical mice?" He joked weakly, reaching out a cautious hand to touch a gentle finger to the odd little object.

It was hardly the first time that Sam had made contact with him without warning, but that was usually as part of a spontaneous hug. Jigano stopped in surprise as the bookmaker grabbed his wrist, pausing to look at his friend with curious confusion - and a spike of irrational anger at being denied. The explanation caused a pale brow to arch, however, and the bard drew in a slow breath and let it out again, nodding slowly. "Yes, of course... that makes sense..." He sat back on his heels, frowning slightly as Sam picked up the bean to examine it. The metallic device was cool and smooth, and utterly innocent in the lantern's light. It neither hummed nor lit up nor did anything other than lie there and be reflective. "Something that small, all by itself in a room this big? I can't help but think it's at least a little suspicious," Jigano mused. "What happens if you squeeze it? Are there any bits of it that feel like a button, perhaps?" The bard was no stranger to technology, but the alien machines that had fallen to his world during the Rain of Stars were a very different type of beast than the Voice's biotech. Mostly. Then again, he had fought androids and watched his friend Jenny replace bits and pieces of herself with bio-technologies that made her faster and stronger than any human had a right to be without magical assistance. Not that they had saved her in the end...

The bard watched Sam curiously, eyes avidly drawn to the metal object as his friend explored it with slender fingers that quickly probed and stroked their odd little find all over. The search for buttons or seams, depressions or any other clue as to the bean's purpose came up short, but the bard's mind was ticking over as he frowned at the shape. A bean, yes, but it was curved and rounded in such a way as to resemble something more familiar. He frowned and started to hold out his hand, a thoughtful look on his face. "I think I have an idea. Could I--" Sam's apology came before he could quite finish his question, and a moment later Jigano withdrew his hand, struggling to keep his expression neutral and not wrinkle his brow in disgust and a little frustration. "Well, that's one way to claim it as yours," he said dryly. Drier, at least, than the bean now was. "I was going to say that it almost looks like something that would fit in an ear, but we'll probably want to dry it off first." A pale brow arched sardonically at his friend. "Dare I ask why you licked it?"

At least Sam’s Ascended status made it unlikely that he’d contract a disease from his culinary adventures with metal beans. Unless there was an Ascended-specific disease that roamed the Spire, similar to whatever had driven the Demon mad. The thought made Jigano’s blood run cold(er than it usually was these days) and he shivered, barely resisting the urge to reach out and smack the bean out of his friend’s hand – much the same way Sam had stopped him earlier. But it was too late for that, too late by far if he’d been hoping to keep that particular fear from coming true. The explanation earned a raised brow, for however much the bard distrusted the Voice, he had a hard time thinking that the pretty young goddess would expect her children to lick things to use them. That seemed to be taking the ‘child’ metaphor a bit too far. To say nothing of jamming things up noses. ”Did the cube require licking to use?” he asked mildly, remembering that strange piece of technology that they had poked and prodded in the Guildhall when the world was simpler and the barrier still stood.
