"Real devils rarely need advocates," the bard pointed out dryly, but with amusement in his eyes. "Though that's what an 'advocate' is, of course. One who argues on behalf of a plaintiff or defendant before a court." Though with Caido being as generally lawless and new to monarchy as it was, he wasn't surprised it hadn't much experience with such things.
Lucas's choice of name made a certain amount of sense in that regard, but news of his loss was sobering. Even more so when Adam grew suddenly cagey about answering the head of a guild that dealt in information. "Well," he said mildly, curiosity aroused - but suspicion as well. "A partnership is built on trust, and we are an information guild. Perhaps when you are willing to share your own, we'll find a way to work together." Could pets even be official guild members? That would nearly double the Loreseekers' numbers if so!
Ah, the Rathskeller. Jigano had used to be a regular fixture there as well, but ever since Zariah... well, that statement was true of a great many things. Life before Zariah had been so much simpler, even with the Natural-Outlander tensions. Since her rise (and thankfully subsequent fall) he had found little time or energy to return to his bardic performances there twice a week. With Edy gone it just wasn't the same...
The question was abrupt and unexpected, but Jigano was starting to think that was normal for Adam. His lips quirked slightly and in spite of the unsavory appearance and secrets of his guest he gave a welcoming nod. "We have before, yes. Usually Sam runs that side of things..." But Sam was taking a break for a bit, and Jigano drew in breath to continue with barely a pause. "But I would be available to teach in between preparations for LongNight." As they were currently doing, in point of fact.
"Do you know anything else about Lucas's passing?" he asked after a moment's hesitation, brow furrowed in thoughtful concern.
