"Bastien is the reason I didn't seek her out in the first place," Jigano pointed out with an inelegant snort of amusement for the fickle 'priest.' "Turns out he wasn't doing the best job representing her. Though... I was sorry to hear about his passing over Long Night," he added more soberly, touching a hand to his heart in respect for the dead.
"It might be?" Jigano mused helpfully, grinning at his friend. "Luckily you don't need to worry about them yet, young Edy... though... don't you have a birthday this season?" he mused, eyes twinkling as he gave Bobi a wink - and Isuma made another leap for the bigger kitten's unguarded tail.
"Between fire and flammable? Hmm... oh, you mean flirting?" he asked in all innocence. "Fire, flirting, and flammable liquids, yes. Though perhaps I should go with 'booze, banter, and burning things to a crisp?' ....No, the 'f's have better cadence," he decided with a nod. "I am rather good at collecting some pretty juicy local gossip, after all," he added with a smug grin. "You might be surprised what I end up concerning myself with, in the name of chasing down a good story!"
The compass changed hands, and he struck a comical salute in return. "Lead on, my boozy baroness!" the bard declared, laughing at her antics and falling in beside her as Isuma squeaked happily and bounded along at their heels, encouraging Bobi to chase her for a change.
