Jigano laughed along with Samuel at his inability to understand the flora book, but it was kind laughter. With a smile he placed the book down on a nearby table (he thought that was what it was. With every surface covered in books and papers it was hard to tell).
As an Ascended he was meant to be gifted with strength but he found himself staring at the book with the same awkward insecurity as Jigano. Still, he was sure between the two of them they could manage it - and, he let himself fantasise a little, this could be a friend. He couldn't let Jigano down over something so simple.
"Let's take it to um...there." He pointed over to a patch of bare table a few metres away. Grabbing the other end of the book he lifted it and was pleased to find it not as heavy as he imagined, though he still had to use both hands and slowly step towards their goal.
"Oh-- me? No. I-I just like to read. It's probably silly but I just..." He shrugged. "I just like learning things. I work um..selling books at the markets. I make them too. S-sometimes I make copies of things in here. Are you a herbalist?"
