Nodding gratefully, Isla gifted Jigano with a sunny smile and turned her attention fully to the volcanettes. With enough seed pods in her possession to create her medicines and powders, and the promise of both a storyteller and perhaps more of the pods in the future, she was in understandably high spirits. "Please do!" She laughed at his comment about giving her credit for the stories. "I am a doctor, and so I am unlikely to ever be known for a creative art. If some stranger on the road is pleased by an anecdote I tell you, I can make my happy way through this world."
Kneeling down properly and leaning in a touch to watch what happened to the pencil as Jigano prodded it into the fiery petals, Isla was surprised and a touch delighted that it didn't seem to burn. She smiled absently, nodding in agreement about the state of the infirmary. "If you had seen it when I first found it you might have been horrified. I know I was," she remarked. Luckily the place had been cleaned up and was functional - it was well on its way to being practical, even!
"Oh, yes. He is an alchemist, you see - never have I met a man with such a broad range of interests." Isla nodded, her face lighting up at the mention of her friend. The alchemist in question was painfully modest, she knew, so it felt good in some way to make him larger than life for a stranger. "We both come from Northaven, but I confess I was only there for a small while before we were transported here. I only met him once we had already been dropped in Caido," she explained. "What about you? Did you come through with anyone?"
