It had been some time since he'd heard that shy laugh sound so carefree, and Jigano didn't try to hide his own smile in return, glad that Sam had found a point of light in the storm his life had become. "Zeph? Not yet. But I hope you'll introduce us sometime." Or he'd bump into the man on his own at some point, but he looked forward to his friend making the official introductions, if only to see his eyes light up in the presence of one who had captured his heart.
A heart that could be changeable and easily hurt, but had grown steadily stronger in the years Jigano had known him. Perhaps this time there would be a happier ending for the gentle romantic.
"How did you two meet?" he probed gently, ever-curious and delighted to know more of this swain who had earned Sam's wounded heart. Even if the feelings weren't yet reciprocated there was a certain sweetness to being in love, and Sam had more than earned the right to it.
