Wood and metal, glass and stone. The pair of companions and the bat stood side-by-side in harmony, a fitting remembrance of those who had gone. Or... almost fitting. Deimos added a crowning touch that had Jigano drawing in a shallow breath, nodding silent approval as he forced back the unexpected sting in his eyes.
Magic provided a focus through the sadness, a reminder of who and what was left, and what could yet grow from loss. Earth and fire, endings and beginnings. Jigano smiled back gladly at the willingness to meet again and see what more they could do in tandem, bound by their desire to protect the place that had become their home and the people who lived there. "I'll look forward to it, then. Perhaps something for Deepfrost, to train our defenses for LongNight." Isuma left the now-still rocks behind, trotting over to gently nose her beak at the statues of the companions and the Attuned who adorned them. The bard's smile turned a little sad again as he scooped her up and cuddled her against his chest, running soothing fingers over her back.
"Thank you, for helping with this," he said, voice quiet but sincere.
