Jigano snorted again, but the sound was gentler this time as he saw Sam's surprise. "She has no right to demand anything of me," he reassured his friend gently. "And generally I find her easy enough to ignore, unless she gets violent. At which point we usually stop talking anyways." They'd only really spoken together once, when he had been Blighted and Remi had served as referee and intermediary. Then, the needs of the many had outweighed their mutual dislike and they had managed, however briefly, to work together for a time.
That had been in Leafchange, a lifetime ago now.
Sam's request was only to be expected after his own and he tilted his head thoughtfully as he considered it. "I won't know until I see what it does," he said carefully at last. "If it serves as a defense against more than bites, but still as a defense only, I will likely still use it, due to my history with Wessex. If it does something else, though... at the very least I'll come talk to you about it first and we can decide if the cost outweighs the benefit, or if it should be hidden or destroyed at that point," he promised solemnly. "But I am optimistic that it won't come to that." It wasn't the intention, at least. Not for the Ascended he still counted among his friends, in spite of their differences.
