Jigano hadn't gotten far before the sound of his name in this unfamiliar place stopped him in his tracks, turning to look curiously back to see who was calling him. It took a moment's recollection to realize it was Kalynd, a face he'd seen far too infrequently and who hadn't expected to find here in Torchline of all places!
...Or perhaps he should have. Kalynd had a voracious mind and an itch to see more of the world that had made him a perfect fit for the Loreseekers. Jigano realized ruefully that his surprise was entirely misplaced; just because he had been too busy to venture into this new region earlier didn't mean his other Loreseekers had been similarly distracted! It was what made them work so well as a guild, after all; many eager minds could all go in different directions and learn different things and then meet up again to share them later.
"Kalynd? What is it?" he called back, stopping to wait for the young man to catch up to him while Isuma chirruped a bright greeting. He was surprised to see that the auburn-haired woman had ceased her tears and was following in his guildmate's wake. She had calmed down and presented a more dignified appearance now, and he nodded gravely at her in greeting.
"Sam sent you? Of course... let me hear what Kalynd has to report first, and then we can see what the guild can do to help you." He raised a hand to forestall her apology, giving a slight shake of his head. "It's alright. I didn't want to intrude on what looked like a private moment, that's all." He smiled reassuringly, then turned his attention back to Kalynd and arched the iconic brow with an encouraging nod for the Loreseeker to continue.
