"Mmm. I suspect there are balances of power involved," Jigano murmured thoughtfully. "Or perhaps... well. Not all of those who came through the portal were human to start with," he said, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "But something about the process of being brought here made us human. I wonder if there was a similar circumstance for Ronin, being brought from the stars back down to earth?" He gave a little shrug. "Then, too, we've seen limits to the powers of the herald-gods like Safrin and Ludo. Goddess though she is, that simply may have been beyond the scope of her power... or perhaps, what she was allowed to do with it." Just as there had been things they hadn't been allowed to say or do before the Barrier fell, wouldn't the act of bringing someone back from the dead be no easy thing? He doubted Ludo would approve, though as gentle and loving as Mort sounded, perhaps that was why it had been allowed.
Remi was smiling, full-on dimples and a bright cheeriness that was tragically rare. Jigano couldn't quite help himself from smiling back, even knowing that the brief moments of rapport likely wouldn't last. Still, that was no reason to rush their demise, and he let himself enjoy it before Remi was distracted and reached for a little jar of...
Oh my.
"That was fast," Jigano couldn't help but chuckle, reaching for the jar and lifting it to the light to examine the sap curiously. "Hmmm. I don't know that the Loreseekers can use it, but it seems like the sort of thing the healers might find useful?" he suggested tentatively. "I admit to being curious about its properties... but that sort of testing is probably better done by professionals." He set the jar down again with a rueful grin. "Especially if we want to try and contrive an antidote for it, in case someone gets caught and needs to be treated. Vai might- no, wait, she has the new baby," he caught himself, murmuring to himself before shaking his head. "Damn. Evie, maybe?" he threw the suggestion out tentatively, remembering that she was an apothecary. "She might know what to do with it, and how to go about neutralizing it? Ah, I don't know... if you ever met Sam's sister?" He asked cautiously, uncertain of which memories the alchemist had been left with.
