Jigano smiled wryly at Sam, giving a slight shake of his head. "He kept the name out of stubbornness and pride, but Zariah disowned him. They're not family anymore, and I'm not sure how much they really were before. I... didn't realize he was going to be working in the Citadel," he admitted, faltering for a moment at how little Loren had told him when he thought they were friends. "But... working in the Citadel for his brother isn't the same as working for Zariah, or supporting her academy. Until he tells me otherwise he's still a Loreseeker, and I'm glad to have him with us." Indeed, Loren and Zariah were only slightly closer than Jigano and Zariah from what the bard understood of their interactions - and most of that closeness had more to do with geography than anything else.
He was glad to hear that Sam had finally found a place in life where he believed he had worth. It had been a long road with a lot of bumps along the way, but Jigano smiled warmly, reaching over to tentatively pat his friend's hand with the awkwardness of someone still not used to physical gestures - but who was trying to be. "I'm very glad to hear that, Sam. I hope you'll let me meet him when you do."
