For all that Deimos and Zuriel had been nothing but kind since he had sought them out, he was so sunk in his grief that he was still surprised at the offer of assistance in sending off Caiside's mortal coil. In truth he hadn't even thought that far ahead yet, too caught up in the now to have a plan for the later. A later that might not come for any of them if the Hall's defenses didn't hold. Before LongNight Jigano had been fiercely adamant in his belief that they would survive and see the other side of it.
That belief had been badly shaken by Caiside's death, and Jigano was only just beginning to look towards the next hour, much less the next week.
"I... thank you," he said quietly, reaching up to scratch gently at Isuma's back. "There will be... fire, I think. He was born from fire, and always regretted his loss of it here..." His glance flickered to Deimos's hands, drawing in a short, sharp breath at the reminder of the new magic the General had just manifested. How envious Caiside would have been to see it. "A funeral pyre, yes. We'll need to gather wood, after... after this." It wouldn't be easy with the dampness of Flowerbirth rains and melting snow making things a wet mess, but Deimos's new power would help to mitigate some of that. "I would appreciate your help in preparing it."
