Lucas absently nibbled on the inside of his lip as he heard Jigano speak in more detail about these 'ambitious newcomers', packing the information away for future contemplation. Would it be worth it, perhaps, to get in with these people? Especially given his own tasks and plans regarding the Spire, the barrier, the Voice... He glanced up as the bard continued, his candid response causing a lopsided smile to spread across Lucas's face. He'd not expected it, in truth, and that went for the gentle rebuttal as well.
What was most important for him to protect? Well, himself obviously. But that was hardly the sort of answer he thought Jigano was looking for. He exhaled softly, even if he didn't necessarily need the breath. "For me? Freedom, I think. The freedom to make choices, to make mistakes, to try new things. That is a precious commodity, in my opinion. One that this place mocks ruthlessly."
Arching an eyebrow at what he assumed was a joke about the Bone Bridge, Lucas snorted softly. "As long as it is a memorable death, I suppose that is alright."
