Someone in the Artisan's guild who was quiet and knew his way around a sword? ..."Deimos?" Jigano asked, trying to fit the word 'shy' into what he knew of the General. Kind? Yes, of course. But shy jarred against the bard's preconceptions of his fellow guildmaster like a bird trying to get through a window - the concept just kept bouncing off, unable to penetrate. "Mm. Well, it wouldn't hurt to try," he offered with a smile. "I recently joined the militia myself. If you decided it's not for you, you don't have to stay, but you might learn something useful if you attend. Deimos is good at matching people to weapons that suit them." From what he'd seen of Libbs so far she was a little clumsy, but at least not lacking in the strength department. Perhaps an axe? A useful tool that could double as a weapon at need?
He grinned at her ready-and-willingness to get a job done, and Isuma peeped gratefully as well as he stood and tied hiw own long sleeves back to bare arms that were leanly muscled beyond his nerdy appearance. "Thanks, we don't have to do it all today, but just getting a start will help. Here, I'll show you where we'll be setting up." He led the way back towards the side of the building that had been repaired a year ago. Once it had been a giant hole in the side of the building and ceiling, collapsed rubble from the wall having shattered the bookcases that had once stood in the area and most of the books destroyed. Now, though, the area was clean - if dusty - and the repairs obvious. Nothing had been done yet to repopulate the space, however, and it lay empty and waiting.
"I was thinking I could do a class on plants and animals of the Hollowed Grounds," he explained while they walked to that side of the large building, Isuma hopping along the tops of bookshelves beside them, leaping from one to the next above their heads. "You're not the only Outlander to come through recently, and a primer on what to watch out for seemed like it would come in handy. It might even help some of the Naturals who don't travel much beyond their farms or shops, who've only heard about some of these things in rumors." He stood surveying the empty area when they reached it. "Let's see... I'll stand in front of the wall there, and we can place the tables and chairs facing it. What do you think?"
