((For ease of continuity, this is happening before Jigano was briefly a king))
He had promised to help his friend with his forge, and though he was still keeping a low profile in spite of the rumors of Zariah's disappearance, Jigano was no longer moving about in his full disguise. His clothing was simple and tough, though, and his signature white hair was braided up tightly and tucked under a broad-brimmed grey hat so as not to be immediately visible. Isuma was curled up in the bag he carried carefully at his side, tucked out of sight for the moment as she watched the world through his eyes.
He knew where the soon-to-be forge was, as it was one of several he had suggested, but he was still curious as to how much work would need to be done to make it functional. He ducked in the door with a smile for Caiside that faded for a moment as he caught sight of Are, then brightened again when he saw Cera. Opening his bag, he lifted the little gryphon out and she fluttered to Cera's shoulder, peeping a happy greeting to the familiar Attuned.
"I've brought some scones and loaves from the bakery for snacks later," he offered to their host, patting the still-warm bag where the treats were well-wrapped to keep Isuma's fur and feathers off them. "Though with three smiths the work should go quickly." He nodded to Are as well, a cool courtesy, though the cobbler was not, as far as he knew, a worker of metal. Much of the work would likely be simple manual labor, though, and they could all assist with that easily enough.
