He understood and shared Amalia's wince, and he tilted his head in agreement with her opinion on Maea's ambitions. "It's not really a surprise, after she tried to become ruler of the Hollowed Grounds before Zariah," he agreed with a sigh. "Disappointing to me, personally, after what Zariah tried to do to our Guild but... no, not a surprise." He gave a slight shrug. "I know I'm being selfish and petty about it, but it's how I feel."

A notebook from Deimos? The man could create wonders, after all, and Jigano grinned ruefully, glad that she was still journaling. The blush that rose almost earned an arched brow but he repressed the urge and merely noted it with a mix of curiosity and fondness - however awkward his relationship with the General had been and might yet become again, the man was clearly Amalia's light-o-love, and she his.
The news that followed the blush was entirely unexpected, however, and blue eyes widened in shock before a silly grin broke over Jigano's face. Isuma reeped? curiously and he held out his hand to her before catching the gryphlet up to lift her above his head and then bring her back down to cuddle against his chest while she tried to purr and chortle at the same time, not understand what was happening but glad that her bonded and her sister were getting along again. "Amalia, that's wonderful news! Congratulations! Who asked who? And has he given you a ring yet? How did it happen?" He was eager to hear the details of the engagement, eyes bright at this stolen moment of cheer amid Caido's tragedies.
