"Try long enough and one or another of them will probably respond," Jigano agreed easily, though his voice held a warning note. "It doesn't mean that you'll like what they say when they do, however. All of them have a reputation for capriciousness that is well-earned, even in my limited experience with Ludo and Safrin this year past." But then, he had not only his personal experiences to draw on but also those he had heard and recorded from others, such as Remi, Rexanna, and Sam. But there was something else Abasi said that caught the bard's attention and he paused in his planting to glance the other man's way, raising a curious brow. "Abandoned, though? What direction does your magic take, if I may ask?" Not everyone was comfortable speaking about it, after all, though Outlanders were far more open than naturals, that he had found.
Delphia? Not a name he knew, though he had spent a great deal of time in both the outskirts and the Greatwood since the barrier had fallen. He hummed skeptically, wondering if Abasi had been deceived by another Abandoned, perhaps. "What sort of demonstration?" he asked curiously, mentally cataloguing the list he had learned from the old folio a few seasons back.
He was not being as circumspect as he'd intended he realized too late, glancing down at the obviously fuller and healthier plant beneath his hands. He hurriedly finished patting it into place and nodded self-consciously, brushing the good earth from his fingers. "Ah... yes, I do. A... recent development, in most ways. A regaining of what I had once lost, in others." Magic he had once had, but it had been nothing like what he felt now on Caido, the connections and the ability to read and move the earth.
"The Loreseekers' Guild," Jigano replied simply, a flicker of pride broadening his smile as he answered the question put to him.
