"Oh, it does," Jigano agreed with a wry chuckle. "It definitely does."
He reached up to scratch Isuma's chin while Jiao considered his offer, and when she accepted he gave her another bow, though this one was more restrained; it was a bow of gratitude rather than flattery or mocking, and as he rose he smiled warmly at her. "I will be honored to wear your work," he said sincerely, looking forward to being able to perform his music in something new and stylish, rather than relying on his usual wardrobe night after night.
As the fabric was bundled up, Jigano gave the Cataract one more appreciative look, then nodded at Jiao's question, chuckling slightly. "Never fear, the Woods will help me on my out," he admitted with a grin. "But I'm getting the knack of finding my way home again, at least." The fastest way to end up back at the border of the Hollowed Grounds was to turn his thoughts to Sidhe Village, he'd found. It was a handy trick, and one he used shamelessly when he was in a hurry to return there. "Travel safely, Jiao. May your road be easy and your burdens light." His words were formal, but the smile that accompanied them was warm, and he gave her a cheerful wave before heading off in the opposite direction she was.
