"Take your time," Jigano murmured with a patient smile. He was sure Sascha would have many questions as he spent more time in Caido, but answering questions was what Loreseekers did, and their Provost most of all. He would happily make time for the newest Outlander, and hopefully keep him alive long enough for the young man to get his feet under him and stand on his own. A healer, especially, was worth protecting. Caido could be a dangerous place, and the more people they had able to help out in the Infirmary, the better they all would be.
He tilted his head in agreement that the use of chopsticks was uncommon, smile turning a bit rueful. "You're the first I've heard speak of them," he admitted. "If anyone else has arrived from a world or culture where they were used, they've never said so, or used them that I've seen. And working here once or twice a week, I see most outlanders," he pointed out with a chuckle. "Though yours would be the first world I've heard of where forks are unknown," he added after a thoughtful pause. "Hopefully it won't take too long to pick up the skill."
"A pelt?" the bard asked, surprised. "Gods most fortunate, as hot as it's been I'm surprised you could sleep at all," he chuckled. "But yes, I've found a few likely buildings as I've wandered around. The best ones are already taken but," he shrugged, "even a poor one is a better place to start than the open. And at least there's plenty of time to fix a place up before the cold returns." Unlike those poor souls who had arrived in Deepfrost!
The explanation of knowing how to make furniture and fix buildings had Jigano's blue eyes lighting up, and he grinned at Sascha. "I'll show you the way to the Artisan's Guild tomorrow, then. They can probably help you get set up with a stall in their bazaar and maybe some materials to start with, so you can get your trade up and running here. Money isn't really something that exists in this Settlement. We tend to work with barter, trading in goods or skills or favors for food and clothes and furniture and the like," he explained. "A trained carpenter will have no trouble making deals, since that's a craft that's in high demand here."
