Jigano simply nodded reassuringly, not blaming Sam for that part of things. Remi had made the item of his own free will on the bard's suggestion of the bookmaker wanting to experience sensation again. The Voice had disdained it, but been willing to allow it, seemingly hoping that the promise of pain would be enough to deter either alchemist or Ascended man. Sam had accepted it in the spirit it had been intended, and of his own free will. Remi had agonized over giving it to him, but in the end... in the end it had been Sam's choice, and no one's fault at all.
No, the bard's concern had been that if the Voice could have removed the pain function, why hadn't she done so from the start? And why had she lied to he and Remi about it being 'impossible' to remove, ever?
He hadn't realized there was so much nuance in blood drinking. It was a pasttime he'd never considered much in depth before this, and Sam's description of taking abilities sent a little shudder through him as he was reminded of the very reason he was having the amulet made. As for the TMI? Well... Jigano managed a stoic nod of acknowledgment as he reached over to gently touch Sam's wrist, watching the healing process curiously. "Thank you," he said softly, looking up again with a wry smile. "I'll try to get it right the first time so I don't have to ask this of you again. If it helps, you can think of this kind of like how Ascended use the abilities of others. Only this is me using an Ascended's ability, more or less."
