A simple answer that complicated the bard's next moments significantly. Jigano sighed and settled into one of the chairs, testing the efficacy of the moss he'd just applied, a thoughtful look on his face. "Hmm. I mean no disrespect, Remi, but it is more her tale to tell than mine. But it does affect you, and all who will stay here if she and I are going to be spending LongNight under your roof. If there are further defenses that need making, given what we plan, best we get them underway while we still have a little time." Not much. Precious little. But at least it wasn't too late -- yet.
"At the meeting, you said you would be going out into the night to look for those who were lost, yes?" he asked, to make sure that hadn't changed. "Well, we will be doing something similar. We'll need to go out at least once, out the Hall door and into the dark, and then back again after." He tilted his head to the side, lips twitching towards a smile that held its usual wry tilt, without the bitterness of the blight twisting it. "If you'd like company on your walks, I'd offer to go with you as well, once I've discharged my oath to Kiada. Assuming we survive, of course," he finished, low and quiet. "But if we do, if I'm well enough to continue, I'd be honored to accompany you. I have my own promises to Ludo to keep you see." He reached up to rake his hair back, his smile softening to something almost gentle. "To the dead, rather than the living, but promises all the same. Our tasks may be complimentary... and I would certainly appreciate the company on my own rounds."
