"I should be able to find it, and I would be honoured to take you there." Caiside confirmed quickly, wanting to do what he could to ease the pain his words had brought. He had not intended to remind Jigano of the death of a friend, he had simply not wanted to glaze over it as if it hadn't happened.
The silence that stretched between them was blissfully short, Caiside smelling the forge before the stone building came into sight. His lips quirked up into an excited smile, but he let Jigano take the lead, watching him knock before following the blue-eyed bard inside. Caiside's stride slowed to a crawl once inside the shop though, his eye drawn this way and that, taking in everything he could. It was almost surprising how reinvigorated being in the shop made him.
The weighty thud of Jigano's bag on the ground drew Caiside back to the bard's side, his hands smoothing down his front to ensure he looked presentable. If the gruff, thickly accented voice that called out surprised him at all, Caiside hid it well, and did the same when the man himself actually stepped out. He had to remind himself what Jigano had told him about the races here on their first meeting, despite appearances this man was human.
Worry touched his face as the man erupted into a coughing fit, his eyes turning to Jigano for some kind of guidance for what to do. There were bounds here he was unsure of, that he didn't want to overstep too early.
