Handsome? Hmph. Well-formed, perhaps, but the pup was too uneasy in his own skin for Jigano's tastes. Give the boy some growing - a bit of spine, a large dollop of self-worth - and perhaps he might be attractive. But handsome? No, not yet. But if Samuel thought so... Jigano's lips twitched into a wry smile. The boy was a heartbreaker and he didn't want his friend to find out the hard way, but who was he to deny a fantasy? "Ahh, yes, and a lion too, I believe. Though I've only seen bits and pieces of his transformations." The control Remi could exert over the partial shifts was impressive - all the more so, since Jigano had somehow lost his own, though he'd used it so rarely as an adult that it hadn't felt particularly strange to no longer be able to. Still, why Remi could and he could not... was it something to do with the gods?
A train of thought for another time, when he didn't have a friend at his side who deserved his full attention. "I... suppose it doesn't matter if it makes 'sense'," the bard mused wryly, taking Samuel at his word with solemn trust that the bookmaker wouldn't lie to him. Not without far greater signs of it in speech and body language, at least. "It happened, so whether it's rational or not, I'll have to try and accept it. The Ascended have some truly peculiar abilities..." He raised an amused brow at his friend before glancing about the market, seeking their goal. He wasn't sure exactly where he was heading, so he gave Samuel a helpless little shrug and continued in the direction the bookmaker had been leading them before their little stop. "Is your vision enhanced as well? Or is the, ah, borrowing of abilities a skill unique to you? The fact that you could fly instinctively without having to learn it is most impressive."
