"As you say," Jigano agreed with a wry smile, giving up - for the moment - his attempt to explain that Isuma was hardly a normal animal. "It is not for everyone." She seemed a poised and cocky kind of person, and as a seamstress she was likely fastidious. A pet of any kind seemed a poor match for her, though he hoped she might someday find the joy that he had, in the most unexpected of places.
"You most certainly do not," Jigano agreed to Jiao not looking wrinkly, offering her a small half-bow. "From a human perspective you look completely untouched by the ravages of age." a teenager, perhaps, as humans measured things? Forty-five, though... yes, the Fae were more in line with elves and dwarves than humans, he decided. If she were 45 and in her second decade, he mentally calculated... round up to fifty or sixty, divide in half to get the equivalent of a human decade...Twenty-five or thirty or so years to a human ten, perhaps? So they likely lived between 250 and 300 years, more akin to dwarves than elves.
"Of course," he murmured, nodding wry agreement that Jiao couldn't know what other people did in private. "The gods we were closest to inside the barrier were Ludo and Safrin and Frey, though some worshiped the Old Gods as well. I respect Safrin greatly, and Vi through her, though the one I pray to most is Ludo," he confided gravely. "Their task is one that resonates with me, from the path I walked on my world. But what of you, honored seamstress? If I may ask, which god do you feel most drawn to?"
