As Jigano explained, Kiki's brows knitted further in contemplation, his expression growing more solemn. The pressure that the lore seeker was under came from an expedition gone awry, with members having gone missing. This was troubling of course, he could tell it was eating up the provost. But Kiki was sure it wasn't his fault. On their exploration the other had been so cautious and thoughtful, trustworthy. Whatever had happened must've just been a terrible accident, or a misstep. And those kinds of things happened, in every sort of business.
Jigano finished, asking if this was truly what he wanted, and restating that safety could never be guaranteed. Killian glanced down for a moment, scratching absentmindedly at his jawline with his elbows on the table. He had put a whole lot of thought into this decision already, and safety had never been one of the pros or cons of any of his options. He'd disregarded it, perhaps it was naïve of him or maybe he was just brave. But even thinking it over now, taking into account the perils that this job might lead him to, Kiki's decision did not change.
He looked back up at Jigano, dropping his hand back to the table and nodded his head, "I'm sure. I want to be as much help as I can, especially if you need it, and I also want to explore so honestly feels like a win win to me," he said, his lips quirking into a soft smile.
