It was a... complicated situation, Jigano admitted a touch ruefully, thinking of the mess that time had been. His lover had his memories of the people he loved taken away as a punishment from one of the gods, and no longer remembered him. My friend... decided he was in too much pain to continue on like that, forgotten and unrecognized by someone he cared so much for, and so asked another of the gods to remove his own memories of his time with his lover. For those of us who knew them both it was a damn mess all around. And one of the first times he'd really been truly, deeply disappointed in Sam. He hoped his friend had learned his lesson, though; it sounded like the bookmaker had come to regret that decision afterwards, at least.
He was glad to have his own assumptions about Adam overturned, snorting quiet approval at hearing that Adam was slowly coming down off his habits. Caido seemed far too dangerous a world to risk being too impaired too often, and as he'd said, he didn't want to lose the charming scallywag's company! Especially not to a Wicker Woman or a Banshee or anything else.
He did crack an eye open to look over at the snake with the sense of a raised brow at the mention of Adam being the 'main character,' but the tone reassured him and he chuckled that rumbling sound of draconic amusement again. You certainly have a point there, about trying to be happy. It's good advice I keep trying to follow... he heaved a chilly sigh. But then LongNight happens. Or something like Fiat Lux. People I care about die and... it's hard not to hurt so much that I start losing hope. He shifted to look at the companions, where Isuma had fallen asleep upside-down leaning against Coffee, and a fond pulse of affection escaped into the bond on accident. In some ways Rory's retreat from the world is a blessing, in that light. I don't have to worry as much about him getting killed by a stray mudmonster or mythical beast on a rampage. He looked back at Adam with a wry tilt to his head. Not like I do with you! Still, I'm glad to have you by my side when there's danger afoot. For his confident optimism, especially. There was not nearly enough of that in the world these days.
