[ Finding a way back. Of course. It's the first thing that would be on someone's mind when first arriving here, and it's not as if Thancred has given up on that idea. He just also knows that it's bound to take time, having gone through this once before. ]

Solvunn's quiet until it isn't. Have you heard about what happened a few months back? With the abductions?

[ It's hard to imagine that this new arrival wouldn't have heard tell from his fellow Summoned in Solvunn, but Thancred decides it's worth bringing up on the off chance that he's unaware. Himeka does have a way of getting distracted, after all, and who knows who else he's spoken to.

Before he can stop it, the stranger's ordered for him. Thancred doubts that he has much coin to spare if he's so new, and so he grabs a few from a pouch in his pocket and hands them over to him to pay for his share. ]

Thancred, by the way. [ Since they hadn't gotten to names yet. ] And I can't help but be curious now. Tell me about this "someone" — that should be adequate payment.

[ For bailing him out, in lieu of the skewer. ]
