And never mind that he hadn't agreed to bet his blood on the line? Especially when he'd been the one confident in Lucas' greater lifting abilities... but the Ascended was gracious - or perhaps wise - enough to drop it. "It's for the best," Jigano chuckled, though there was a sharp glint in his blue eyes. "I'm not really the sharing type anyways." And he made a mental note to be extra careful walking at night for awhile, in case the blond decided to try his luck regardless.
After his own exertions, he could only grin wryly and offer a show of flexing the slim arms hidden beneath his long sleeves, nodding acceptance of Lucas's 'fealty' to the King of the Noodle Arms. "You did your best," he pretended to commiserate, though the Ascended had truly impressed him with the display of raw power. It was a good thing Remi tended to be non-confrontational, as a fight between the two men would be no easy victory for either, the bard tentatively judged.
"I won't turn down the company or the terrible vodka," came the cheerful reply as he dusted his hands off and grinned to his companion. "By all means, lead the way!"
