Kiss from a Rose

That Jigano couldn't remember a hit that had only happened a few moments ago really made it clear to Bastien that The Blight had taken his mind truly. It scared him at the same time as it gave him intense waves of pity. With a gentle smile he shook his head and laughed. "It takes more than that to harm me. I am not easily overpowered." Jigano explained his situation, and Bastien frowned. It probably was not a good idea to take him back to town, not if the Blight could return so easily. For a moment he stood, unsure of what to do, then he had an idea. "Well--here." Taking the rose he gently pulled off a thorn, taking the steps forward to Jigano to pass it to him. "I cannot give you the whole flower, but you might use this. When you feel it returning...I do not know if it would work without the rest of it, but it is worth a try, yes?" Bastien I must say, it’s nice This pageant of vice For life’s just the rice But sin is the flavour
