He hadn't expected the silence to his joke, or the way she looked momentarily vulnerable and uncertain. She had been Healed with a touch and watched a fern grow from nothingness to full leaf in a matter of seconds, and been fine. But the word 'magic' made her uneasy? A conundrum indeed, though Jigano mused to himself that if she had some hangups about magic in general she would at least fit right in with many of the Naturals here. It was Isuma, as always, who saved the day and chirruped a gryphonish affirmative to Libbs's question, responding to the excited tone more than a complete understanding of the words.
"She's always ready for an adventure!" Jigano assured the newcomer brightly, waiting for her to get herself sorted out and tickling Isuma while she did so.
"This way," he beckoned, heading off towards the south, a path that would skirt the edge of the Spire on their way to the Settlement. "There's a shrine here - just over there," he pointed to the spiral of white stones and the rough altar at their center. "If you want to pray to the gods at some point. The ones here are likely to actually answer in the flesh though - so to speak." He offered her a lopsided smile. "I don't know if religion played much part in your life before, but you may find it hard to avoid, here. A good rule of thumb is to always be respectful, just in case. They might provide guidance or blessings... but they can curse you, too, if you aren't careful," he warned. "Or even just because you caught them on a bad day."
