"As has been pointed out to me, I don't know him well. Or, indeed, at all, according to him," Jigano said, dryly amused. "It's only a guess, based on what I've heard and observed, but... Sam, all I can tell you is what you already know: talk to him. I don't know what he's told you, and he is the only one who can speak for himself."
The people he'd listed weren't necessarily Sam's friends - yet. They were people that Sam had met, though, who had shared experiences with and who could become friends, someday, if one or both parties in the equation tried. But it was all a moot point anyways, since the bard wasn't planning on dying, either before, during, or after they made their attempt on the spire.
"If it does, what will you do?" Jigano asked gently. "If Remi wants to see more of this world, will you go with him? You know from my stories that I'm a wanderer, I've never hidden that from anyone. But... our guild is here, so even if I wander I'll come back eventually, bringing new knowledge and hopefully new books with me." He wanted to smile, but kept his expression solemn, even though Sam couldn't see him.
