"Nasty creatures," Jigano agreed with a faint grimace. "I ran into one with Edy. We were lucky it was already old and damaged, or I don't know if we would have been able to handle it with just the two of us." Three, technically. Bobi had been along but hadn't really contributed to the fight. But Ronin left no chance to dwell on the memory as his compliment brought a definite tilt of pride to Jigano's chin, and the Provost smiled slyly as he headed for the basket of pastries to slip a pair out onto napkins. He offered one to his guest while he went to check the teapot. It hadn't oversteeped, thankfully, and he poured two mugs before he took a seat, now that they each had a snack and a drink.
"Someone willing to give up immortality?" Jigano asked, impressed. "A good friend, indeed. But 'not quite a god' is a curious way of putting it..." He tilted his head to the side, sipping at the hot liquid that had a faint scent of apples and honey. "Do you have any new abilities or powers that you didn't have before, by chance?" A joyful squall of feathers and scales made its way down the stairs, and Jigano smothered a smile as Isuma proudly showed Sugar her blue felted ball - and then batted it across the stone floor for them to chase.
