Jigano paused his approach, smile fading and brow arching as the man stumbled and started throwing knives around. There was no snake or magna vermis or carnivorous plant there that he could see just... a knife sticking in the earth, quivering from the force of the throw.
Then again, the wild look of confusion and fear on the stranger's face made it more and more likely that he was new to Caido - very new. Fresh off the portal, so to speak, and with the usual disorientation that accompanied such. "Are, son of Jorm, it is my pleasure to meet you," the bard said formally, offering a little bow as Isuma held on to the padding on his shoulder with practiced balance. "I am Jigano, of the Loreseekers of Caido. And I understand your uncertainty." He looked the man over again, a wry but friendly smile on his lips. "Perhaps I can--"
Before he could continue, Are grew upset again, casting about wildly for something - someone - that wasn't there. Drawing in a slow breath, Jigano gave a slight shake of his head, though he obediently looked around the landscape in case he had simply missed her. "You're the only one I've seen out here today," he said gently. "This place - this world - is called Caido. You aren't the first, and I doubt you'll be the last, to arrive from elsewhere against your will." He glanced back at the direction he had come from, and the memorial garden he had planted for another friend displaced in space and time. "I can walk with you and we can look for her, though?" He didn't expect to find the woman Are mentioned if she hadn't arrived through the same portal and place, but it might help the frantic man if he felt like he was doing something rather than standing around talking about how his world had just changed forever.
