Another jumpy one, like Samuel, Jigano thought ruefully. This man, though, spoke with more music in his voice and an intriguing accent that sounded quite pleasant. His cheerful smile was also a welcome change from the painfully nervous bookmaker - not that the bard would ever admit it out loud. It was hard not to think of his friend without both fondness and exasperation, but then, they had endured a rather rough introduction to each other.
He wasn't going to be making any jokes about horses anytime soon, for one thing.
"Ah, you're a foreigner here as well?"

"How long, may I ask, have you found yourself in lovely snow-bound Caido? Ah, but forgive me. My name is Jigano. And you?"
There was another chair nearby, mostly buried under books, but Jigano's eyes caught an arm peeking out from the pile. Setting his chosen tome back down on a clear space across from Remi he turned to begin excavating while the other man answered, moving the books with care and respect and piling them far more neatly on the floor than they'd been deposited.
