Are
"I... uh..." was all Are managed to muster. The boys startled him but the question made him question what had been coming out of his mouth. As naturally as he had breathed the air of the new world the tongue had spoken words he had never even heard before. Only specks of his own language remained in his mind and he stood perplexed for a few moments before he managed to reign in his thoughts.
"Yes, sorry. A scholar told me one could find a place by the fire around here. I don't have much but I can pay with honest work. I am a cobbler and a tanner." he said with newfound courage. Hardy people indeed. He thought to himself as he eyed the family. They all radiated strength and a pride he only had known in warriors from northernmost Roder. A people of salt and iron he once had the privilege of meeting, fierce folk but with hearts of gold. If I am lucky.
"I am newly passed, the scholar, Jigano, showed me the way here." he added and nodded as if to reassure himself that the name would be worth more than his own.
