Sam's support brought a smile to Jigano's face, though it was rueful and more than a little weary as he tilted his head to the side, then nodded slowly. "Yes... well. A few things. But one in particular." He sighed, looking away. "Have you heard that Zariah is a member of the government in Halo, and that she's putting together a school for training mages?" he asked first.
Hearing Sam stick up for Rex was no surprise, but in this they were in accord, both counting the Outlander Queen a friend. Jigano nodded, though his lips quirked wryly. "And yet Wessex was still there," he pointed out, remembering the arrow that had taken her in the chest while they'd been trying to calm the fiery luxere. "What she 'allows' and what she actually enforces or punishes are, it seems, two different things. If she's seen going easy on Ascended for breaking the laws, it won't help the government look more legitimate." He grimaced, reaching up to push his hair back, even if the long tresses just slid forward again a moment later. "Though the Fae are capable of enforcing their own laws, I think. They shot Wessex, after all, and she did her vanishing trick afterwards and didn't come back."
