Jigano watched as Sunjata took another shot, but didn't join him this time. His tongue was loose enough as it was, and he had never been the type to drink himself senseless. He had too many secrets to keep to allow for that kind of vulnerability with anyone but Rory, and certainly not with someone he knew as little as he did the Korofi man.
"How did they get here," he asked of the mysterious beach bum, intrigued in spite of himself. Once before he'd met someone from beyond the storms - Virion, a man who had disappeared almost as soon as he'd arrived - and though the Greatwood portal had been opened before LongNight, the control 'room' led only to the mountains so far. "Mmm. We've a few special plants here, too, so that's not too strange... I think," he murmured at the mention of a plant that would let someone breathe underwater. They had snowmoss that stayed cold year-round, gilded lilies that killed with a touch, and efas herb that served as a panacea for all sorts of minor ills. Why not another plant with magical properties?
Tales of Korofi were still interesting to the bard, and he made mental notes to add to the journal entry he'd started for it, as part of the collection of various worlds that Outlanders came from. "What's the tide like?" he asked curiously, an almost innocent gleam of fascination in weary blue eyes. He'd read about it, but to hear from someone who'd experienced it made it seem far more real. "Is the ocean as salty as they say?" 'They' being adventurers on his world, but still... were oceans the same from world to world? And inquiring mind wanted to know!
