Helovia. Of course Helovia. Everyone was from Helovia these days. Jigano snorted softly, shaking his head in bemusement. "Do you know Deimos, Melita, Hotaru, Cassandra..." he paused for a breath, ticking names off in his head, "Kiada, Rexanna, or... ah, Cera?"

"The crops here are still pretty poor. Three hundred years being locked in a bubble did the soil no favors, nor the plants that live in it, but we have some magic that can help with that," he explained with a shrug. "So at least you can get a few potatoes worth eating." His casual offer to do just that had the desired effect and he grinned, pleased and preening at the gratitude in her eyes. "I'm happy to offer a demonstration."

"So, new Loreseeker, what other questions do you have while you've got me at your mercy?" The question came with a grin as he leaned back in his chair, enjoying the banter.
