”I would be happy to make something like that for you.” A plaque was simple, and literally the least Caiside could do for his friend, especially after the kindness Jigano had shown him. He was never one to leave a debt unpaid, whether the other man even saw it as something that needed to be repaid or not.
Try as he might, Caiside couldn’t completely hide his excitement at the prospect of playing with the little gryphlet. It wasn’t the most appropriate time, he knew, but the creature was cute. ”There’s nothing quite like her where I’m from. At least not that I ever saw.” He’d have to ask how Jigano had acquired her afterwards, when when their task was completed.
Caiside looked out over the landscape, and gave Jigano his moment. This was a strange experience for him. Somehow both more and less solemn than what he expected, but he tried to be as respectful of Jigano’s moment as he could. If he was quiet, he could pretend like he had a right to be here, instead of simply being a man who had watched a stranger die. His own grin was somewhat distant when he looked back at Jigano, for the first moment. It grew more genuine when he produced his trowel, and knelt down next to his friend.
”You know, this will be my first time planting anything. At least intentionally.” Caiside chuckled, spearing the little blade into the earth at random.
