Family... something Jigano has long been without. His smile was a little sad as he nodded at the simple answer, and all the questions it spawned in his own mind. What was Oia'i'o like? What did they have in common? How were they different? But they had spent longer than he had realized playing in the mud, and he glanced around at the lengthening shadows with a start. He would have to hurry to make it to the Mathair by dark if he wanted to ask his questions of the Fae, and he would certainly be returning home after by moonlight. It wouldn't be the first time, though, and foxy paws would move swiftly through the night-cast shadows when he did.
Kaimana's innocent earnestness had the weary bard blowing a loose tress of white hair back as he gave the other man a gentle nod, feeling a pang of regret for his earlier lack of patience. He would make a better effort the next time, then, he promised himself. "Of course," he said with a smile. "I didn't explain things very well today, and I'm sorry for that. I'd love to talk with you again, when you have time. Come look for me in the Atheneum, in the Loreseeker Guildhall, and I'll answer what I can for you." It was the least he could do, and usually his joy. Hopefully he would be better rested then, and would speak with greater clarity. "Bring your sister if you want. You're both welcome in the Hall." He'd have to look to restocking the tea caddy, and seeing if Amalia had been by with pastries recently. It would be nice to have new faces in the Hall again, even if they only visited for a little while.
