For once his magic seemed to work without hiccups or difficulty, and Jigano breathed a soft sigh of relief as candles, lanterns, and candle holders came together in profusion, ready to shed light in the darkest of nights. He stretched when he finished, hoping there would be enough to see people through the week, and he wandered back to the list to consider what else he could do.
He'd already made one place to store food when he arrived, so he looked for something else to do instead. The need for heat was just as important as food and light and silence, and while he might have used his magic to create logs for the fire - and still might - there was something immensely satisfying about doing the job the old-fashioned way, as he'd learned while living with Rory.
And besides, he needed to let his magic cool off a bit after using so much of it to make candles.
So he grabbed an axe and headed off towards the woods behind Aisha, whistling a jaunty tune. Once he found a recent deadfall that looked promising he got to work dismantling it into small enough chunks to bring back to the Temple to split further into fireplace-sized logs.
