The lanterns shook and danced, Jigano letting his blight-caused trembling bring the little lights to a life he would have been hard-pressed to match if he were well. He smiled reassuringly at Amalia, sending a pulse of comfort and support through the Attuned bond when he saw he momentarily falter, but she picked up the thread again with a poise he wanted to applaud, continuing on to bring the tale to its triumphant conclusion.
Of course he kept stealing glances at Ludo, the mischievous god relishing its role and bringing a smile to the bard's lips in spite of his attempts to remain a serious stagehand in the performance. Glitter? The audience had become covered in tiny stars thanks to the masked god! It was a clever trick, indeed, and Jigano was just glad that he was behind the stage instead of in front of it!
When 'Safrin' awoke and rose to chastise 'Ludo' Jigano did his best to still the lanterns in his grasp, the bright little boxes of slim wood and paper pulling back a little from the goddess's ire. The story had a happy ending though, and moments later the lanterns danced again with Melita's luxere and the pair of gods, the merry chaos risking a tangling of strings and only luck and quick thinking kept them all safely separated so the party could continue without mishap. The triumphant conclusion brought a true smile to the lorekeeper's face as he grinned at his friends, proud of them all and the work they had done together to entertain the people of Caido.
