Loren had missed seasons, but in a way it was hard to remember what all he hadn't been there for in the past, given how active and involved he had become since his return. It was as if he'd always been there, his keen mind and magic always ready to lend a hand to any task, even when his moods were bleak. Jigano found a wry smile and bowed his head in acknowledgment of his fellow Loreseeker. "We can do that. Whenever you have time to sit down, I'll pull out some of the old journals for you."
Somehow the bard wasn't surprised that Neron was trying to kill one bird with two stones. The tools had presented themselves, and the Warden didn't seem like a man to waste an opportunity. Especially an opportunity to let others do the work for him, given how Loren had described him before. That he might not tell Jigano the truth was only to be expected, but that he'd lie to his own brother, or at least shade or conceal the truth... that was more troubling, and the white-haired fox didn't bother to hide his concern. "Well, at least we can both ask him separately, and then compare notes afterwards? I'm not sure if he knows that we're friends and guildmates yet or not, but he hasn't heard it yet from me." And he might not be as careful about keeping his stories straight if he wasn't in the mood to be forthcoming with the truth, if he didn't think the two Grounders seeking mageglass were on speaking terms.
