"I cannot imagine." Jigano shook his head, looking to Isuma fondly. The gryphlet had brought light and joy to his life, helping him to heal a bit of his past and learn to open up and trust others again. Something she continued to do every day. And Isuma was just as eager to pounce on her companion as she was on her friend, giving Sugar an encouraging peep before bounding over the table to leap onto the lorekeeper's shoulder and purr as she rubbed against his cheek.
Jigano grinned and nodded acknowledgment that demigod was the better word, and made a mental note to title Ronin's chapter with that when he began work on it later. But first he slid the directions for Maea's government hall across the table, offering his new... friend? a smile. "Swords it is, then! Maybe once the rains settle down and the mud dries up."
Isuma's purring was interrupted by a rumble of a different sort, and he looked to her with surprise and then rueful understanding. Pushing back his chair he rose, reaching across the table to offer Ronin his hand. "I'm glad you came by, Guildmaster. And I'm looking forward to our next meeting. But for now I'm afraid I must find the young featherduster here some lunch," he grinned, suspecting the other man knew exactly what that entailed with Sugar's appetites. "But don't be a stranger. With luck we'll see each other again soon!"
