Jigano bowed his head in gracious acknowledgment that time was the only thing that would bring Seiji's memories back to him. Time, and perhaps familiar surroundings and tasks, which he'd only know if he tried new things and went new places in the hopes of unlocking some of the lost pieces of the puzzle of his past.
But they were not alone in their little corner of the Atheneum, and Amalia made a glad addition as their pair became a trio. He welcomed her into their conversation, happy to see that the young man and the young woman seemed to know each other and sparing him the need for introductions, though he noted her quiet reservation with a little concern. Seiji's need for information sparked Jigano's interest, though, blue eyes sharpening as he turned his mind to specifics - and then softening as his smile became a wide grin of approval at the slender man wanting to know 'everything' and offering to help. "I think we can help each other," he agreed gently, looking to Amalia for confirmation. He cocked a brow at her above his little smile, a silent question of if she approved if Seiji's 'application' and impressive set of qualifications.
The smile faded as he turned back to the other man, a sober expression on his face at hearing that Seiji's friend had lost someone. The Long Night had left no one untouched, who had been on Caido for most of a season or more it seemed. He bowed his head in respect for the loss and then gestured to Amalia, ceding way to her expertise on the subject of post-Long Night funeral rites.
