"I'm glad," he said with a softer smile. "It is good to have family back." But since most new Outlanders seemed to come from Helovia he had long since lost hope that any of his family would ever be reunited with him. Still, in spite of the twinge of pain and envy he was glad that his friends could be reunited with theirs again, even through death, it seemed. "Did you know Hotaru well, then?"
Ah, but there is strangeness abroad in the woods tonight, and the trees were hiding secrets that Rexanna was able to uncover. Jigano tilted his head, frowning softly at the obviously man-made - or at least, unnatural - object, and nodded at her incomplete explanation. He didn't have a better one, but his lips quirked in a wry and painful smile. "A button? Such things tend to be associated with machines, but I don't see any obvious function to it." He shrugged lightly, stepping away to avoid crowding her. "Perhaps it causes something to explode? Or to turn on? Without knowing what it does, it could be risky to push it... Or, if it's old, it might not do anything at all. We can stand back and try to push it with a stick if you're curious," he suggested, his grin turning lopsided in brief amusement at the pair of them taking such precautions over something that might prove to do nothing.
