The night tide was gentle, the waves low as they broke out along a distant line and lapped lightly towards the beach tonight. The moon was a sliver in the sky above, distant perhaps or simply turning its face towards some other sea. Given his relationship with the goddess of the sky, Jigano was just as happy with that state of affairs as he balanced over the water with his friend and their birds.
Seeing the smile returned to Sam's face - whether for the water-walking or the words spoken - lightened some of the weight in Jigano's own heart, and his smile warmed further at his friend's care and the bond they shared. His smile turned to a grin as he hopped over a small wavelet, setting the bird on his shoulder to squawking protest but remaining firmly perched. "So does this handsome dockworker have a name?" he teased gently, hoping to keep the conversation on something that would continue to keep Sam's spirits up.
