"Fuck 'em," Jigano said succinctly to Adam's previous rich and snotty former-peers, raising his bottle and then frowning slightly at how light it was. He finished it off and reached for the next bottle in Adam's little gift basket, popping the cork with a deft twist and pull. The past had its shadows, both recent and distant, but for the moment there was decent drinks, good company, and no looming catastrophe (if you didn't count all the preparations for Fiat Lux that needed to be done in the next few days - but no one would die if they weren't quite finished in time, unlike LongNight). Jigano was content to relax and not press with uncomfortable questions after the source of those scars, especially since they didn't come from a threat that could hurt anyone on Caido now.
The turn to Wessex and the Ascended soured the bard's mood somewhat, and he raised a brow at the question. "Well, they primarily hurt the Fae, so I'd say they should face Fae justive. Since the Fae seem content with banning them from the Greatwood I am... perhaps not content with their judgment, but I can respect it," he said slowly. "For killing Rae's guardian - a thinking, intelligent creature capable of communicating - I would argue imprisonment for a time," he added, thoughtful. "But... again, the creature's spirit called to us shortly after and offered forgiveness for what had been done to it." He shrugged. "And imprisoning Wessex is likely impossible at this point anyways, since she pulled that little teleporting stunt at the meeting." That didn't mean there weren't other possibilities, but it did make it significantly more difficult to punish her even temporarily for any past or future transgression. It would likely be all or nothing, now... and if he knew the Grounders, that meant 'nothing.'
Isuma was a more welcome memory, the Kasathan woman holding a place of fond affection and respect in Jigano's thoughts. He nodded simply at Adam's opinion of a tough time, but let the subject lapse for many of the same reasons. Besides, Amalia was just as good a topic, and one they could both share as he steered the conversation in that direction, and he grinned back at the dark-haired man. "She is great," he agreed happily. "And I suppose the same could be said for us?" His teasing was light as he toasted Adam once more, sipping more slowly now that he was on his second cider.
