Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No, not at all," he replied with a smirk. "To be fair, I didn't get much more than that either. Though I did learn how to do a couple of useful things before I left. Chopping wood, hauling things around, the kind of work that people don't mind paying a stranger to do." He shrugged. "I'm glad to be helpful, even if it's only a little."

He couldn't very well tell her the sorts of tips that had gotten him through more reliably than manual labor. Be a good kisser. Lie. Ask people for the things they don't want to part with right after you've had sex with them. Kauff cleared his throat. No. That was all horrible advice. "I hope you have fun up north." He almost mentioned Alek, but the chance of her running into one reclusive Ice kid was slim to none.

Massive arms, hm? Kauff paused to indulge his ego and consider her question. He had planned to head west, to continue his endless loop around Sauti, but surely a detour wouldn't hurt after all this time? It might even give him a new perspective on his quest. He wasn't all that keen on actually crossing the border again, but she wasn't asking him to. Towards Zena wasn't in Zena.

He found himself nodding. "Yeah. I could be." If she saw fit to head the same way he could make sure she got a decent start there. It would be as good as handing her a bunch of money. Better even. "Want to come along?"
