"I'll probably take you up on that,"" the bard agreed with a chuckle. He suspected Loren wasn't the only one willing to throw things at him, but at least the summoner could put him back together if their sparring got too rough again. Probably not the healthiest mindset, as the other man had just pointed out, but Loren wasn't the only one who danced on the edge of self-destruction.
He was just the one who'd fallen off that edge most recently.
Jigano had nothing to toast with, and no desire to encourage Loren on his downward spiral, but he nodded at the toast and hid the sigh that would probably come across as too judgmental. "That's a rough game to play," was all he said, keeping his tone light. "If you keep it up too long. Even your magic might not be able to put you back together." Everyone mourned differently, though, and he wasn't sure that the previous detachment and numbness was any healthier than this latest dip into hedonism.
He was surprised to hear that Loren had some sort of beef with Adam. Peter-related, maybe? But it didn't seem a good time to press or pry. "Ah. Have you been pursuing your new hobbies mostly in Torchline, by chance? What can you tell me if this 'new' land the Voice has granted us?" And if his voice was a little bitter at the end, well, Loren could probably understand why.
