Chuy was not the only one happy to find someone pleasant to chat with, and as he would soon discover, Jigano was always willing to draw out a conversation, eager to learn any speck of information he could glean from those who put up with his pontificating ways. "Likewise," the bard murmured as Isuma scrambled up over his scarf and hat to his head to launch herself once more. The white-haired man seemed used to it - at least, when he was properly padded against her talons by layers of cold-weather gear - and content with being a jungle gym for the small predator as she fluttered above the street, seeking a place for them to retreat from the wind for a bit.
"Chuy? Is that a traditional Halovian name?" Jigano asked his new acquaintance with bright curiosity as he ambled in the gryphon's wake. They didn't have too far to go before she dove down to perch on the sign of a sleeping white bear, peeping appreciation for the smells wafting from inside. The bard led the way as they spoke, pushing open the door to a small but clean-looking establishment with two merry fireplaces and tables that were half-filled already. Stairs in the back likely led to rooms for rent, but it was to an empty table for two near one of the fireplaces that Jigano led Chulane while Isuma scampered beneath the table looking for crumbs.
