Something about these rocks feel more like... holes in some way. Like the light comes from deeper than just the rock, appearing less like a glowing surface and more like the entrance to a lantern. And in fact, Julian notices that the backside of the rock doesn't glow.

I don't suppose the friendly climbing vendor mentioned a name (even one I could only recognize by context). Actually thinking about it should be doable to just point at myself, say my name and then point at the friendly climbing vendor. Could we go back [retroactively or literally] and do that?
Lets retroactively do that. the Climbing vendor is named Graco Umaakyat.

I'll be gesturing while speaking:
"I don't suppose you speak English either."
"The climbing vendor [alternately his name], said you had work here? Would you happen to have work for me?"
The man tries a few different languages with Julian, but nothing is understood. At least not with words. The man mimes swinging some sort of tool, and holds up a chunk of black rock: he has work for Julian as a miner. He also holds up a coin, indicating some rate of payment: four of those per... day? maybe? it took the man way too long to understand the gestures for "Day".

He gestures asking where Julian's parents/guardians/taller responsible people are (yes, height is the most concrete gestured for).
