The awning was cumbersome, but the after the Ascended's initial offer to help he had stood around and watched Maea do all the heavy lifting. Rather than leave the shy bookmaker with nothing to do but stand around and feel sorry for himself, Jigano had made an effort to find a way for Sam to comfortably assist their efforts and be part of the group. It hadn't been fun for him to be the one to have to walk away and see to the arrangements, but as guild leader he saw it as part of his responsibilities to make his fellow loreseekers feel safer and more comfortable in their work for the guild.
Hearing that Sam had come out of his shell and was offering to mentor Maea brought a broad smile to his face, delight and approval at his friend's offer of assistance in his eyes. "That's excellent news!" He hummed softly, gaze moving to make sure that the pale woman was equally pleased. "I'm sure Samuel will make an excellent teacher!" Glad to see them both in harmony, he left Sam to dig out the first window well while he moved to pace out the second, eyeing the stone blocks of the building and double-checking his mental calculations before he set to marking it out.
Noticing Maea's preoccupation, he paused beside her and cleared his throat softly. "Copper for your thoughts?" he asked gently. "How go your preparations for the Fiat Lux?"
