"Fair enough," Jigano agreed easily, grinning back as he ran his finger around the lip of his own glass idly. Everyone dealt with LongNight in their own ways, and hiding in a bottle was a popular retreat from the fear and darkness. It was strange seeing this more relaxed and more playful side of the man he'd met under the most trying of circumstances; first the blight, and now the loss of his lover. It was a surprise to realize that Sunjata knew how to smile, but a pleasant one. It made a nice change from all the nastier surprises Caido had been pulling lately.
"Pushing and pulling... like the ocean is breathing," Jigano murmured, delighted by the image even if the process sounded incredibly slow at only one full breath a day. "I'm amazed that fish can actually live in it if it's that salty, though. Wouldn't they just shrivel up as well?" He tilted his head thoughtfully, waiting for the room to catch up a moment later before he continued. "And you mentioned swimming in floodwaters! Did they came every year? How did you get that nickname?" Eager questions, enthusiastic and interested as he leaned forward to let the table help hold him up while they talked.
