"Curiosity is a fatal flaw in most Outlanders," he cheerfully admitted to her observation that Halo was an odd choice for exploration. "Though we hardly have a monopoly on it." As the Naturals in his own guild so amply demonstrated. Especially the names of the deceased that hung upon the wall in reminder for who had been lost. "But the monks we ran into in the mountains were very insistent that no one else go that way on pain of worse-than-death, assuming death didn't get you first."

Weaver's question was a good one, and Jigano gave a slow nod as some of his good humor faded. "Isn't that the truth?" he asked softly. "Monsters, demons, dark gods... but just because we don't know about them doesn't mean that they won't find out about us. I'd rather have some warning than none at all... assuming I survive the experience to carry that warning back here," he added ruefully. "Though you seem to travel a fair bit as well? At least to the Grounds and Torchline. Will you continue that now that you're running the bar here?" He wasn't sure how many days off she would have or if she'd have the luxury of time to travel with a teenaged brother to take care of. Though Korbin seemed to more or less take care of himself, he still seemed to need a little looking after. Not that any boy his age would admit to it!
