If Jigano thought this was chipper, he hadn't really seen Lucas in action yet. If the world decided to really lay waste to the land and its people, the bard might even see him cheerful.

"Hardly ideal at a time like this," he murmured. "Perhaps there was an emergency and she was called away." Quite where she would be called when the night was full of death and horror was beyond Lucas, but healers were martyrs like that.

Humming in almost agreement about Jigano's homeworld - the seasons had been somewhat similar where he was from, if not bleeding all into one because of pollution - Lucas frowned at the other man's request for more detail. Talking about it depressed him, but it would pass the time. "Heaven, compared to here," he said simply. "Electricity, running water, buildings with hundreds of storeys, cars and aeroplanes, coffee and martinis and strip clubs. It was bliss."
