"I'll keep that in mind," Jigano chuckled back with a wink for their teasing, even if it was soon to end on weightier subjects.
He nodded at the thanks, considering it was the least he could have done. He was a little surprised to hear Loren admit that he wasn't completely in agreement in Abasi's thinking with how he had defended his lover earlier, but after a moment's consideration Jigano's lips tilted in a smile of understanding, and he nodded in agreement. "He seemed more interested in Ludo and Mort, though... with his focus on the remains of the deceased I wonder if Frey not be a better fit?" he mused thoughtfully. "I don't think Ludo cares what happens to the bodies once the souls depart them." Idle speculation, nothing more, for he didn't expect Loren to answer for his absent mate. Perhaps the next time he saw Abasi they could speak on it again...
And for Loren's sake, Jigano would rein in his exasperation with the undertaker's baffling expectations of the gods. Hopefully Amalia had more patience than he in it, though, and would be a better guide.
Loren's list of the Labyrinth's greatest hits brought the grin back to Jigano's lips as they continued on and turned right again - and then had to backtrack as the path curved around to a dead end. "I'm pretty sure it does," he agreed, oddly cheerful about it (now that he had wings to escape with). "Not fast enough to catch, but I tried the old 'string-in-a-maze' trick once in here and when I tried to follow it back it went under a hedgewall that definitely wasn't on my map before. The squirrels might have moved the string, sure, but the path didn't fit the map I'd been making anymore, either."
