Deer with glowing antlers? That was interesting, a good omen for him if nothing else. Caiside nodded, listening with rapt interest as the silver haired man across from him continued. His brows knitted together at the mention of a week of darkness, though the deer... the luxere, he would have to put in an effort to learn the names of things here. The luxere seemed like an asset, since he wouldn't be able to escape the long dark. They would have to be one of the things he asked more about.
"I suppose I could have assumed you were not from here. You have a uniqueness in the way you carry yourself." The compliment was genuine and accompanied by a smile, though there was some disappointment that came with the knowledge that he was not special in how he arrived. "I can't help but wonder what must have caused such an event though. If this were my own world, I would say the meddling of gods, but I have no such crutch to lean on now." It was frustrating to be without answers.
Slim fingers wrapped around the mug of tea that was poured for him, the warmth of it a welcome balm on Caisides heart. Without waiting, he lifted the mug to his lips and took a sip, savouring the new flavours and the heat. He blinked over at Jigano, then lowered his mug slowly, pondering how to explain himself more clearly. "The... edges. Where they're thinner, and stop being forest." With one hand, he vaguely gestured in the direction he was talking about, at the far side of the woods. "There was an energy there I did not approach, given the way it made me feel from a distance."
