It seems she is destined to disappoint him with her general lack of knowledge. ”Only from fairy stories my mother used to tell me,” she bs. Fairy stories. Tall tales. Bedtime stories. Whatever you choose to call them. Her mother had spun quite a number of them, telling her children of fantastical stories that may have once taken place in Caido, with some embellishment, or may have just been figments of stories pulled from books Straia happened to read. ”And I admit, you have lost me at some of those other things. Halfings? Half-orcs?” It certainly sounded like a very interesting place to have come from, and Caido must not be that much of a shock to him.
He asks for tips, and she hums thoughtfully, letting him list the instruments he plays while she thinks about it. As he finishes up, mentioning that he hadn’t found a good lutier, she brightens slightly. ”That’s how you approach him. Korbin likes to be helpful, so ask him if he knows of anyone who could help you with your instrument needs. He’ll be more amiable if he thinks he’s being useful.” Her brother the martyr; always helping others even when he hated it. ”I don’t have a musical bone in my body, though I can dance. My brother plays the lute and sings. I’ve suggested he try that at Kraai, at which point he promptly asked me why he’d do that.” She sighs, because she agrees with Jigano. Some live entertainment would be nice, and it would be a better use of Korbin than behind the bar. She was a better bartender anyway.
She nods. She had been there on the beach that day, and though there were many souls, she wondered if they all looked like that. Perhaps. Perhaps in death everything you did in life ceases to matter. ”I guess I just never really thought about it. Though I did see Ludo gather the souls on the beach.” She nods as he explains that’s what his Guild does, mentioning Rae and weather patterns. Though she knows the gods, she can’t b she’s really studied them and their lines blur in her mind sometimes, though as the god of nature that would make sense. ”Water elementals. They tend to appear during storms and can kill you, if they are actually smart enough. Many are not. Oh. Are you familiar with the Eirachi?” She didn’t know much, but she’d tell him what she did if needed. Though really, she wonders again, how much he can teach her.
