Although his magic was still relatively new, Jigano had learned that he had an affinity for life and growth that he never would have suspected. Helping Rory in his fields had helped to hone the melding of Healing and Earth magic, as had every garden planted in the interim, whether around or beneath the Spire, in the town, or at what was becoming the Loreseeker memorial. When he saw the noticeboard call for assistance it had been an easy decision to come help Loren, as the Launceleyn mage had helped him on several occasions.
He had also chosen older clothes for the task rather than his more scholarly attire. Rory's castoffs might have been a little short at the wrists and ankles, but the Provost was willing to trade his dignity for sturdier fabric that would be easier to clean and patch if it tore.
Morning was not his best time, but he had grown used to waking up with the sun to help with the horses and goats, and he made it to the appointed place not more than a few minutes late. Isuma swooped lazily above him, peeping sleepy greetings along the way and swiftly diving to land in front of Astra and trill a joyful good morning to her friend. Jigano saw that Abasi was already there and paused for only a heartbeat before he nodded cordially to the two men, giving Loren a crooked smile. "We just keep meeting like this," he joked around a yawn. "What's the plan for today?"
