[Mini Event] Greet Your Queen

Jigano had not intended to come, not initially. He had spent little time in the Settlement of late; even less in his human form as the events preceding and surrounding their ill-fated excursion into the Spire had weighed down his weary soul. He had wanted none of the madness and drama Zariah's bid for power brought with it, but he was no longer the footloose wanderer whose fractured heart had been trapped in amber. It had begun to beat again, and with that return came responsibility, compassion, and a reason - many reasons - to stay.

So he had carefully washed the dyes and disguises of his bardic skills from his skin and hair, dressed in his customary clothing, and come to see what the rude woman from the Atheneum would say for herself. He slipped in the door like a wraith, silent and pale, but his blue eyes were hard as he took in those already arrayed in two fairly clear camps. He was unsurprised to see Edy where she stood, though it broke his heart a little anyways, even expected as it was. Rexanna was a surprise, however, especially given what he knew of her past.

He had to shift aside as a dozen more townsfolk and farmers drifted in behind him, some looking belligerent, others only confused as to what all this 'queen' business meant, and he went to stand by Amalia and Deimos with a nod for his friends, and a neutral expression turned towards the front of the room.
