Jigano left his cloth-wrapped gift next to Melita's basket in Fangorn's expert care as he swung her into the wild, joyful dance, his feet light and swift in keeping up with the rhythms that swirled through the night. The music might have been new, but a beat was a beat to a bard, and he moved as gracefully as water to match Melita's fire, laughing and glad that there was a night of life and goodwill amidst the difficulties of the human and Fae interface.
He led the dance and then handed it over to Melita, following her exuberant, fierce steps with a challenging grin until their very momentum spun them towards the outside of the circle of the dance and he slowed them both again as they drifted back towards Fangorn's loyal presence by their things. He leaned down when he realized his companion was reaching up for him, but her words faded the smile on his lips and he gave her a slight shake of his head as he brought them back to a standstill. "This is the first time I've seen him in a while. I hadn't realized..." and if Vervain hadn't been able to restore his sight, then something beyond a simple accident or fight must have happened. The bard sighed, reaching down to lift his gift from the ground as he offered it to his dancing partner.
"I hope this can lead your way in the darkness, though, and perhaps you can find a use for it?" He offered hopefully. Within the simple wrapping of cloth was a metal lantern, silvered base and top gleaming with high polish while the wall panels were a bright copper, a pair of stylized suns letting light out on two sides, and a pair of blooming flowers that echoed the shape of the suns on the other two sides.
