"Foxes and ravens aren't the pickiest eaters, either," Jigano agreed with a chuckle. "That's good to know. Thanks." A source of sustenance and potentially a way to breathe beneath the waves? That would certainly come in handy.
Remi's raised brow earned a grin from the bard and he waved his hand in silent apology. "Should have been clearer. 'Like' as in an entire people separate from the humans, that have their own society and culture. And also 'like the Fae' as in 'not wanting humans around much.' Have you met any?"
He might have found Remi's tentacle adventures unnerving, but it was still nice to see the other man genuinely happy about something, and a smile kicked up the corner of Jigano's mouth. "It sounds like quite the way to move around underwater," he agreed. "How easy is it to let go of something once you've latched on?" That could make for one awkward handshake. Hearing that they were a normal part of the local undersea fauna did give the bard pause about further watery explorations - something he'd already been hesitating over. What were the chances he'd look like 'dinner' to one of them?
"Rather quiet," Jigano admitted at the question, though he didn't seem too upset by that. "Members of the Guild tend to show up and then disappear unexpectedly from time to time. Our newest addition is an excitable handful. A Natural, but they're young, and the way they approach the world..." He chuckled ruefully. "Well. They make me look at it with new eyes. It's been as refreshing as it sometimes is exasperating." He nodded at the bar around them, indicating the beach beyond. "This will keep us busy for awhile, and there's more to learn in Halo, too. But since the Blight I've been less.... driven, I suppose. More content to take my time and appreciate what we already have, for as long as the peace lasts. It's never long enough." Voices and Mud Monsters and Dragons and LongNights. Caido was many things, but 'boring' wasn't one of them.
