A smile formed on Kalynd’s lips when he noticed the way Provost Jigano touched the ribbon before politely deferring. Part of the reason Kalynd had joined the guild was to find likeminded people, and it testified him to see someone excited about his research.
“Yes, I have been meaning to return to the Guildhall,” Kal said, his expression sheepish. “I find it very easy to become distracted by new discoveries.” He had been this way in his own homeland, too, far too consumed with his scholarly pursuits to develop true relationships. He hoped that the Provost did not think him standoffish or unsociable because of his passion for exploration and new discoveries. Then again, if anyone would understand Kalynd’s disposition, he supposed it would be the Provost of the Loreseekers.
He bowed his head respectfully and took a step back when Provost Jigano beckoned the lady closer again. Though he debated moving away to give them privacy, his Provost introduced him as well, so he supposed that made him part of the conversation as well for the time being. He listened to the woman’s introduction, and at her last statement felt rather bad about his initial irritation with her behavior. Her concern was warranted and far more pressing to her than his own mission had been to him. Kalynd gave her a pitying look and turned his gaze to Provost Jigano to hear what he would say in response.
