Aisha waved off Jigano's apology, listening intently as he explained. A council, though with a monarch figurehead. Her world had been a pretty rigid monarchy, though each individual town and city under their rule had their own governing heads, so as to keep things in check. It made sense for the Hollowed Grounds to have a council and a ruler, they had no need for lords and lady's since it was such a small area.
Jigano validated her choice to take her time, and while she still wasn't proud of it, bravery being a feat well ingrained into her by her family and advisors, she did feel as though she might've dodged a bullet. Blindly exploring and taking risks wasn't something she needed right away, bravery shouldn't be mistaken for recklessness. "Oh," she remarked, almost having forgotten that the load she carried was his. She carefully transferred it to him, then smiled, "That's amazing, thank you."
