A grateful look flashed over Caiside's face at Jigano's concern, the sentiment obviously appreciated and rare to hear. "I am one of few who is concerned about them. There is not much sympathy for his people from those abroad, thanks to their leader." He sighed, biting his lips and glancing away. It was a sad history, one that touched him personally, and he was more than glad for the exit the bard offered him.
Celebrations were much more his speed. A smile brightened Caiside's face as he jumped earnestly into explanation. "It happens as the last snowfall melts away from the earth, and things bloom again." Holding a finger to his lips, Caiside leaned in like he was telling a secret. "It's not actually the anniversary of his death, but its symbolic. I believe every region celebrates differently as well, though there are always festivals. I've heard they get quite... brutal, in some of the far corners of the world, but those are places I tend to avoid." He shrugged and leaned back, searching Jigano's face for something, approval or interest he wasn't sure.
"I was invited to a most exclusive celebration myself, a guest of honour." The words came after a beat, a cocky smile having wormed its way onto Caiside's face. He didn't elaborate, instead waiting for the dramatics of being asked about his words.
