His shoulder ached with the lingering cold, and Jigano struggled to sing through the pain. The lantern cast its glow out into the dark, though, and he took strength from it, forging ahead. The glow of the soul was the only other light he could see, pale and weakened in the Night. His heart thudded, fear and anxiety for lost spirit sending a surge of protectiveness through him as he picked up his pace, hurrying towards it.
He suspected it was a trap. The monsters weren't stupid, and he was on his guard, but he couldn't just leave the soul, either. Not if there was a chance he could protect it until Ludo could lead it home. His song turned coaxing as he tried to get close enough fast enough for the lantern to shield the little spirit.
