Even Jigano knew that he was no god, his lips quirking wryly in crooked amusement at what Safrin would think of that comparison. Remi was a better comparison by far, though... "Remi's abilities far outstrip my own," Jigano chuckled as he reattached an 'arm' to a target. "I can do things roughly, whereas he is a master craftsman with it. He's had more time to practice with it, of course, but I think the way it interacts with his other magics is unique on Caido." Unique and fascinating, in truth, no matter how humble the alchemist tried to paint his powers.
The source of those powers in Jigano, however, was a bit of a sorer subject, and he slanted a glance towards Deimos's curiosity as the big man poked and prodded at the fresh wound. Still, it wasn't like the General to ask personal questions, and the bard wasn't so uncouth as to shut Amalia's boyfriend out when they had been making progress again. "Safrin is... a jealous goddess," he said after several long moment's of thoughtful working at their task with the targets. "She... has little patience for those who pledge themselves to others. My preference for Ludo does not endear me to her at the best of times." He shrugged. "Even so, I had hoped to catch her in a good mood. The fortunate gods did not smile upon me in that, however, and I didn't have the sense to back down and run as soon as I realized that." He doubted that would surprise Deimos. The General knew of his stubbornness better than most after all the projects they had undertaken. Both the good and the bad sides of it.
