[ After the partying is done, but before our merry band catches their ship out of town, here comes a message to the group.
Jens hasn't been...shy, or anything. He's also not been social, exactly - just kind of been there in the background, working at what he's good at and completely forgetting that proper introductions are a thing in most polite societies. Maybe you noticed him around, or maybe not - in which case: eighteen or nineteen, dark hair in a messy ponytail, usually a little bit dirty in the way that implies hard work more than lack of care. Nice to meet you all. ]
Hello, I could use some - er, let me back up a bit. I'm Jens, for those of you I haven't talked to. I'm a blacksmith, and I've just been given permission to, should I say, requisition whatever I might need from one of the forges here.
[ Deep breath. He's trying to be slow and coherent! But he is nonetheless over the moon about this. ]
I haven't been here as long as - well, most of this group, so I hadn't really gotten much chance to get myself set up to work here. So this is a great chance for me to make myself useful to all of you!
As long as, you know, I can...get it all carried out of here.
If anyone has a hand to spare, I'll gladly pay you back in repair work, making something, or buying you drinks somewhere down the line, as you prefer. We'll figure something out.

Why is your name... like that.
[ Your user name, he means. He doesn't know all the terminology, but. He squints deeply. ]

[Oh, right! His username!]
It's a haiku! I couldn't think of anything cool.

[ Hijikata is quiet a moment, and then he smiles. ]
It's a little long for a name, but... I think it's sufficiently 'cool'.
[ Just wait until he finds out Izumi is short for Izuminokami Kanesada. ]
