Caiside cocked his head, his brows pinching together. It had not been his intention to upset or disappoint the other man, though he supposed it was inevitable. ”If this stays an open invitation, I would be happy to reconsider once I have my feet under me.” He could see himself taking up Jiganos offer, once he had more of an idea of the local politics. Not that Jigano seemed like the type of person who would be disliked at all, but he had to be careful about these things.
”I have quite a bit of experience dealing with brusque people, and I was quite skilled in my prime. I’m sure I’ll be able to charm him.” Caiside twirled one of the elaborate rings on his finger, looking off into the distance. ”Men like that usually have their work speak for them anyway. I know the type.”
The news that winter difficult to set up in wasn’t a surprise, but it was irritating. And still, the other man was nothing but generous. Caiside found himself actually speechless for a moment, never before had he had the pleasure to interact with someone so genuine. ”I would love your help, however you want to offer it. I’ll have to find a way to repay you soon, after all this.” His chin was resting on his hand again, a bright smile aimed at Jigano.
