This was going to be a long conversation. Still, Jigano had patience and he went around collecting the odds and ends of a displaced life without any rush. There was no need to move quickly when the newcomer seemed so disoriented, and time was the best medicine for coming to terms with what had happened. Then again, that was assuming she knew what had happened, and when she finally spoke up again he realized belatedly that assumptions were terrible things to rely on.
'Thirsty' didn't really give much to go on, but the item she held out to him was a clue of sorts, and he studied it with a thoughtful frown. "I'm not sure," he admitted after wracking his brains for a few minutes. "It looks like a measuring device of some kind, though." Not temperature, he'd guess. Perhaps steam? It was a mystery they could pursue later, once all of her belongings were accounted for, and he set the clothing he'd already gathered near her before heading back for anything he'd missed. He paused in his search through a dry bush, glancing back when she called his name, and his expression broke into a smile as she greeted him and gave him a name to call her buy. Liber...? Ah. Libbs would work and he made his way back to sit near her, beginning to fold the clothes they'd gathered so they could be bundled more easily for traveling.
"The Hollowed Grounds are on a world called Caido," he said. "What makes them Hollowed is a long story, but it has nothing to do with holes." He smiled reassuringly, then paused as he saw her eyes for the first time, a flicker of concern in his own. She looked unfocused in a way that was more than just shock, he realized belatedly. "Libbs... are you hurt?" He held his hand out, palm out, empty for the moment but extended as an offering. "I may be able to heal you of any bumps or bruises you took coming through the portal, if you'll let me?"
