Jigano winced, for Ludo's words were hardly comforting. He cared more for the god's honesty, though, and it made any defense he might gain against Ascended aggression feel once again like a wary precaution rather than a paranoid overreaction. The masked god's support was worth a great deal to the bard, and he steeled himself and nodded grave thanks, even as the swirling objects drew his eyes to the light-
Light that blinded him and left him blinking for a moment as his vision was reduced to white.
When it cleared and the bracers came into view he couldn't help but smile at the new star charm imprinted on them. Reaching out to gather them close, he bowed deeply to the soulguide before sliding them on, relief and an easing of tension softening his expression as he took comfort from their presence. "Thank you, Ludo."
When he looked up again, there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, an uncertainty about what he was asking next. "The mountains beyond Halo, the ones guarded by dragons and monks... the monks said that souls beyond their caves might be prevented from reaching Mort, somehow. Is that a place that I should take the lantern and the song, to try and bring those spirits back to you?"
