Sam listened with the rapt attention of a child being told a bedtime story to the description of Jigano's friends. He had so many questions at each junction, too many to put voice to because he could not decide which was best. Was a shadowkin actually made from shadows? What should he have expected from goblins? Was having four arms useful? Why did he sound so sad about Cassandalee?
But he didn't ask any of them even when Jigano had finished and there was a pause. The other man sounded sad, and last time Sam had been too curious about his past he had been gently told to stop. Instead he busied himself imagining what each person described would look like in his mind.
He did not even consider that being close to Remi could pull him from Jigano. As far as Sam saw it both relationships were good, but for different things: He didn't want to kiss Jigano and he didn't want to ask Remi for sagely advice.
