Kronid smiles another frail, tight-lipped smile as Bruno rubs at his hand. Not flinching away from the grime, at least. A kind man.
As he rises to his feet, hauling up his satchel to follow, he shakes his head a little.
"Oh, it's - I have a circulation problem. I'm always cold, even in this weather, if you can believe it." His fingers find his necklace again. Clink clink clink. Repetition to put Bruno at ease. To find a crack in that wall up in his mind.
"But you're very kind. I get met with a lot of suspicion, looking like I do, but all I'm trying to do is get by. My homeland is very, very far from here."
