"Mmm, yes, we try to use our powers for good, and only kick ass when we don't have any other choice," Jigano agreed with a laugh. Which technically was the truth, it just wasn't as exciting as going in to every situation guns blazing. Adam had a point about the importance of memory to a Loreseeker, though, even if he was wrong about the focus on reading. The provost wasn't going to push it, though, since Adam had stated his decision.
"He got off with a thief, too," Jigano pointed out, gesturing with his bottle. "Or is that not as 'bad' since he's Navy and not Army or guardsman or... whatever they had, on your world?" Even Numeria, considered one of the most barbarous nations of his world, didn't have such hangups on sexuality as Adam's world seemed to. Thank the most fortunate gods!
Isuma also chirruped offense on Coffee's behalf when the dragon glared at Adam and Jgiano tilted his head in confusion. "I thought his name was 'Pete-er' though?" he checked, brow furrowing into a slight frown of misunderstanding. "Not 'Peht-ter.' How did you get 'Pet' from that, if not to imply ownership of someone less than human?" Peter had introduced himself to Jigano as 'Pee-ter' so he knew he was pronouncing it right. Given how shy and quiet the man was Jigano couldn't help but want to stand up for him... even if he was a Launceleyn by choice. The fact that Adam referred to his soulbound companion as a mere 'pet' only made the word choice more concerning to the confused bard.
Jigano sipped his drink as he let the guilt of his parents' deaths linger like a bitter incense, trying not to let the alcohol lull him into a morose downward circle. Adam's question, nosy though it was, was also a welcome distraction, and Jigano tilted his head wryly at the other man. "The Oracle part did. But I was born an Oracle of Lore, not Life. Both the blessing and the curse were passed down in my family for generations, though the blessing part took a different form in each new son or daughter. Or so my mother told me." He shrugged lightly, but there was a troubled cast to his gaze as he looked to the fire, as if seeing a shape within the dancing flames. "Coming here broke that cycle... for good or ill. At least in my lineage." He had no siblings, and he'd never heard his parents speak of their families back in Tian Xia. As far as he knew his line had been wiped off the face of Golarion with the appearance of the portal to Caido.
