"As you said, we can trade," Jigano offered with a grin. "We'll be at it for a long time, I expect. But it will be time well-spent." Working side-by-side in the same guild would give them a chance to catch up with each other, whether in breaks at the guildhall or in adventures they went on together. Caiside's stag shape might come in useful, even if it meant that Jigano would need to reveal his own secret at some point...
Isuma peeped something that might have been agreement, or simply a happy chirrup at him even considering sharing his secret with another friend. His lips quirked as he watched her bounce through the young grass, glancing wryly to the side at Caiside's mention of Sam. "Sam's a good man but... sheltered," he admitted fondly. "Though he's getting better about seeing the world outside his bookshop. Amalia is our guild expert on the gods, though, and a good one to seek out if you have questions about any of them. She's also a baker and often brings fresh bread to the guild," he admitted with a wink. "Now that you're one of our number you are welcome to come by the Hall when you get the chance and meet the others. I'll see if Amalia and I can pull some of the books on the local fauna for you, though I suspect you'll be pursuing a more hands-on approach!" He chuckled, taking a longer stride and reaching down to scoop Isuma up and tickle her as she wriggled happily and chirruped at the attention. "Still, knowing what's poisonous, for instance, before you touch it or get bitten might be a good idea!"
It made for a fun topic of conversation as they made their way back, at least, to the place that was as close to home as they had for now.
