Jigano still wasn’t sure where he would end up spending the true Long Night, but the nights had been getting longer and consequently darker, and it made studying in the Atheneum more difficult – and it had to make things harder on Sam, as well, whether he chose to read in the library or the comfort of his own home. Since they both had a similar problem that needed solving, the bard had hoped they might do so together. He enjoyed the time spent with his quiet friend. Every time they met it seemed as though the bookmaker had become a little braver, and a little more certain of himself.
Bundled up in his thick grey cloak against the cold evening air, Jigano made his way to the market with an assessing eye for the buildings he passed, keeping an eye out for the shadows. It was, however, a quiet twilight walk interrupted by nothing more than a few humming bats, and as he came in view of the outskirts he saw a familiar dark-clad ginger man awaiting him.
The little wave brought a smile to his lean face, and he returned it as he approached, flourishing his cloak in a little half-bow of greeting. ”Sam! I’m glad we found each other before it got too dark!” Isla might be able to see heat sources now, but the lorekeeper certainly couldn’t! ”I hope you haven’t been waiting long! How have you been?”
