"Given that the Voice was behind it, 'procedure' is probably the right way to look at it," Jigano agreed wryly. He shifted slightly, catching a bit more light with his mirror as he pondered Remi's point about the mistakes that were made. "I suppose nothing is perfect?" he hazarded. "Perhaps something interfered with Ianto's... transfer? And I know that more than once it has taken people who had magic and animal shifts and given them the powers of only one or another, not both." Himself included, and Caiside as well. "So I've no idea how it 'chooses' what to do with those cases." Turn them into Attuned, mostly, it seemed.
It helped that Remi was courteous about the bard's discomfort with revealing his secrets, even if such things were commonplace to him. Caiside and Amalia's reluctance to be open with their own Attuned abilities had come as something of a relief in comparison when Jigano had realized that he was not the only one who found such openness difficult to embrace. "Perhaps," he agreed quietly, with a nod of his head. "I have... well, never really flown with anyone. It would be interesting, at the very least."
"You and Ianto are close, then?" he asked, curious. If Remi had no memories of Sam he could hardly be considered to 'move on' from something he had never known, but it still caused a slight ache in Jigaon's heart at how hard it must be for Sam to watch the man he loved fall in so easily with another man, even if there was nothing more between them than close friendship. "I wonder when or if he would develop a second shift... Or you a fourth? Is there a limit to how many animals we can become?"
