Are
He saw a glint of steel in the man's eyes, something he recognized and should've reassured him it would turn out for the better. Are couldn't catch himself before dwelling on the worse side of things though. A resolute warrior, thrown from everything they had ever known and faced with the harsh reality Caido had to offer. It shone through the weak smile the cobbler offered the newcomer, eyes in discord with the rest of his face, shining pity on a man still grasping after straws he recognized. Still desperately trying to pick up the shreds of a life that was no more.
Are didn't move, in a display of uncharacteristic patience he just silently stood there and witnessed the man trying to come to grips with the situation and form a plan. When finally the words faded out with a whisper he smiled again, sighed as if to gather the power needed to be the bearer of bad news for yet another lost soul. "I am sorry, friend, but there is no way back. Believe me, I've searched for it. The passing is as final as death, poetic, seeing as this could just as well be Hel. It matters not though, what was is no more, and it is more important you find your way in the new than dwell in the old. It leads nowhere..." he spoke like a herald rattling of a list of grain deliveries, merely stating facts, too caught up with the 'what' that he didn't think of the 'how'. As he reached the end of his breath so did his power, his last statement a little more sore than expected.
"There is a settlement, I live there, many do, but I don't think you'll find any way to get a message home from there, lest you find a messenger that can walk through Ginnungagap, the darkness between worlds." Are said, trying to inject a modicum of humor into the conversation. Tacking on a hasty explanation as he realized words of old slipping in.
