Iskra
this heartwood was cut too damn deep
Admittedly, Iskra hasn't met many Ancients. He's seen them from afar, but his place of residence is a bit of a challenge for getting to know them, and Iskra's habits of sticking to home have kept him out of their regions. So it is that he gawks a bit at Astaroth, gaze drawn pointedly to the, well the points on Astaroth. He nearly looks like a Luxere stepped into a man's body.
Seeming to catch himself, and his jaw, Iskra offers a weak smile in apology. "Oh, no, I actually came here to learn more about Dygra. Maybe pay some respects." He lifts up a small bag from his belt, an assortment of candies and wood carvings inside, leaning towards Ludo's preferences out of practice now. "I'm Iskra, woodcutter in Halo. And that's Goose." The dog had glanced up when Asta first approached, but his attention had since drifted to the cane, nose twitching as he attempted to smell it from afar. At his name though, the husky gave a low series of barks, gaze fixing back to the cane with clear intention.
"Goose no, that's not a fetching stick," Iskra says as he grabs the dog's snout affectionately, giving the fluffy head a mild shake like it might clear the focused pup's mind.

I can't see the wood for the trees
