Jigano looked pleased that Loren's name was recognized, and even more so that Chulane had a good opinion of the man. "He's a good friend of mine," he agreed warmly. "And a former member - and current affiliate - of my guild. I know he'll be happy to answer any questions you have, either about Caido or his world's lack of religion." Maybe not about his family... but impersonal history, sure. "I'd like to compare notes with you as well, if we get the chance. I've a bit of Healing knowledge and skill myself, and I'm always looking to expand it."

Chuy's life sounded interesting in its own right, and Jigano drank in the details, pausing only to chuckle again. "We have cities, too," he assured the other man. "Halo's 'Citadel' is so far unique to the areas the Grounders have explored, but Sanctuary and Haulani are both cities in their own right." He tilted his head curiously. "Your family were farmers then? And... were there no other intelligent races on your world? Only humans?"
