"What legends?" the lorekeeper asked, pouncing on any modicum of hope his friend could offer. " And... what do you mean? Who has seen the Fae and what have they said?" Ianto had mentioned that others had been out into the woods, hadn't he? Other Northhaveners... For a moment Jigano's lips pulled into a frown, but he shook it off with a sip of his own tea as he instinctively copied Sam's actions beside him.

"I don't know how to beat them until I know who and what they are," he admitted grimly. "Mostly I want to know why they took my friends... and what they intend to do with them. There was no warning, no chance to explain ourselves, no threats or ultimatums. Just... an ambush." He shook his head, raising his eyes to watch Sam again and there was something hard and stubborn in his gaze. "You're right that I need a better plan, though. Going in together, staying close so no one can get taken without it being seen... stealth would be best, but much as I hate to say it, they're better at stealth than I am, almost like they could become invisible." He sighed, shoulders slumping a little as he looked back at his half-empty tea cup.
"Just navigating the woods proved impossible. In truth, Sam, I don't know yet how I can fix this but... believe me, my friend, I'm open to suggestions if you have any!"
