The only response Sam received to his quiet comment was an inhuman growl, but he gave little for Jigano to latch onto and the bard focused on making it down a few more stairs before mention of Remi and Ronin had his temper rising, fresh and harsh as he snapped at the bookmaker. This time the apology set his teeth on edge and he snarled as he spoke. "Gods least fortunate, must you always snivel like that?"
The attempt to shift the conversation to Mia devolved almost as quickly, Jigano watching Sam's back incredulously. "You did it again? Didn't you learn your lesson with Remi the first time? Or are you going to go throw your memories away to the Voice when this one forgets you and moves on without you, too?" At the rate he was going, Sam wouldn't have any memories left. He'd be regressed to the age of a child in his mind. Not that he wasn't already, the blighted bard thought uncharitably. It was like he wanted to get hurt, just to feel something. What a stupid way to live.
"Let me guess," he sneered, clever voice sharp-edged with mockery. "He's too lazy to bother fixing up a home of his own, so he's living with you because you're too spineless to stand up for yourself and kick him out?"
