Aonghas, didn’t respond all that much to the Ascended’s words or actions, but that was fine. Given how prudish most of the people in the Hollowed Grounds seemed to be, he was well used to carrying the bulk of the conversational burden, and of making his own fun. ”What about informal titles?” There were all sorts of epithets he’d be happy to assign to the other newcomer. First though, a lecture was apparently in order.
Wow. Jigano was a stuck-up asshole who couldn’t stand even some harmless flirtation, apparently. So much for subtlety. Still, Amun just gave the white-haired man an easy grin, not at all bothered. ”A simple ‘no thank you, not interested’, would have sufficed, Master.” Wasting all those words and all that breath—and not even issuing a firm refusal among it—was completely unnecessary. The Ascended could take a hint, respected boundaries when they were actually set, and wouldn’t go where he was unwelcome or press where he shouldn’t. However, he wasn’t a mind reader.
Filing away the name Phoebe Steadman for later, the potter focused on the rest of what the white-haired man said. ”What is Fiat Lux?” Flowerbirth was the next season, Amun had gathered, but the other strange name Jigano had mentioned was new to the Ascended. Partners was obviously intriguing.
Exploration, though, caught the potter's full attenion. ”What do you know about the Greatwood?” Cataloguing information sounded downright dull to Amun, but going new places was of great interest. From the sound of it, Ascended weren’t welcome in the home of the Fae, so this was a prime opportunity to find out why and how he could get past that. Besides, the Hollowed Ground were fucking boring, and Amun needed an escape as soon as LongNight ended.
