A silver brow arched at the rebuke, but he was too glad to see Loren caring about something - anything, at this point - to feel any real sting in it. The question, when it came, was starting to fill in pieces of a puzzle that Jigano hadn't even realized had been scattered and he tilted his head at Loren as he thought, trying to see where things had started to come together...
And where they had fallen apart.
I don't know, he said bluntly at last. I knew her for barely a season before she disappeared, and in that time she was... mercurial. I didn't know her long enough to really get to know her. Or at least... I thought I did, but by the end of the season she proved me wrong. Now, more than a year later, she's back with new powers she can't control and no memories of the time she was gone. He shook his head to clear the frustration and uncertainty from his eyes. And at the moment I don't know what to think. I don't know who she is right now. But even if I did trust her, I still don't trust Zariah, as you say.
He searched Loren's icy gaze, still surprised to find the summoner championing newly-returned Valair. "How long have you known her?" He asked curiously. "How well do you know her? Other than... than Abasi," he said the name softly, gently, "she's the first person I've seen you take such an interest in since... since Fiat Lux."
