Jigano hummed softly as his newly-hatched suspicions were - seemingly - confirmed. "Then your lady is powerful, indeed. Even more than I realized, to open portals to distant worlds when she herself was still locked away. Perhaps the Old Gods are right to fear her. Especially after shutting her away for so long. Though she seems more driven by logic than raw emotions like revenge." He tilted his head, gaze turned towards the Spire but not really seeing it as he lapsed, at last, into silence.
The quiet lingered for awhile as the snow fell in a light dusting. The only sounds came from the bard's soft breathing, and the occasional creak of snow beneath his feet as he shifted position to keep his joints from locking up. Thoughts raced through his head, connections breaking, being remade, rewritten, looked at in a different light.
At last he took in a deeper breath, exhaling it slowly. "Thank you," he said, voice soft in the moonlight. "For sharing your knowledge with me. You do not seem as though you need much from anyone who is not your Lady but... still, I would make the offer. For courtesy's sake, and to let there be balance between us. Is there anything I can do for you? If not an exchange of knowledge, then some other task within my abilities?"
