[startraveler]

Hello everyone! ヾ(*'▽'*)

For those of you who don't know me yet - I'm Aether, a simple traveler who doesn't travel that much at the moment. To remedy this, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share stories with me!

Tell me about your travels! Is there a place you miss? A place you really enjoyed visiting? Or maybe a place that you wanted to go to, but never got a chance?

In exchange, I offer an ear to listen.

...I can also help you out if you need a hand with anything <(︶▽︶)>

I used to travel to places that needed exorcisms or purification. That was a long time ago when I had a nomadic lifestyle with my family.

What purpose did you have for traveling?

[startraveler]

I see. I have friends who are exorcists as well.

As for my travels... I have my reasons. For one, I had been travelling for as long as I can remember. The other thing is.. that I was searching for someone.

[cursegod]

And were they searching for you too?

[startraveler]

I'm guessing that they knew where to find me.

[cursegod]

So you were stalking them.

[ "A simple traveler" is such an understatement for everything Sunday's come to know about this little guy. It's almost laughable. ]

I did not travel much in the past. However, should the opportunity arise, I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to it.

[startraveler]

[Shh, it's fine. People don't have to see him as anything more.]

I hope you will get a chance to travel one day. I would offer myself as a guide but... we come from different worlds and all.

[Maybe even from a different universe, who knows.]

[aeolianmode]

It may. I suppose we'll have to see.

[ They may be from different worlds, but they're here now, aren't they? ]

I wouldn't be opposed to a guide around the outskirts of Aldrip if you later happen to familiarize yourself with the landscape.

[startraveler]

[Join Aether and Argenti adventure team.

He smiles brightly at that.]

Of course! I was actually talking to someone about exploring the mountains here. Would you be interested in something like that, too?

[aeolianmode]

The mountains? Is there a specific reason you've chosen to survey that area?

If you choose to assemble a team for it, you may include me as well.

[ DON'T tell him Argenti is involved in this... ]

My friend! We are kindred in spirit... How regrettable that we find ourselves in the same predicament! There remain many places I haven't had the opportunity to travel to yet.

[ Missing the point of this post.mov but—]

In the meantime I have heard that there are places here still left unexplored. Have you heard the same?

[startraveler]

[It's fine, he doesn't mind Argenti missing the point.]

How unfortunate, isn't it? There's so much left to see!

[He laughs lightly.]

I heard a thing or two. I didn't really have the time to do some proper research yet. [Considering everything that's been happening.] When I decide to go exploring, would you like to accompany me?

[paragonknight]

That you would do research before exploring the unknown... that is a marvelous display of foresight!

[The upturned curve of his mouth says it all: if Aether asked him to go today he'd go immediately.]

I will gladly accept this invitation. Please notify me when you plan to depart and I will not delay in joining you. Have you set your sights on anywhere in particular?

[startraveler]

[He smiles brightly at that, his eyes warm. He knew he could count on Argenti.]

Perfect. I will let you know.

[As for the destination... He takes a moment or two to think.]

How about a trip to the mountains? From my experience there's always something interesting to find in the mountains. In worst case scenario we'll just have a wonderful view from up there.

[He grins.]

[paragonknight]

[Insert BG3 companion "Argenti Approves" message here.]

An exceptionally fitting setting for an expedition. The mountains it shall be! Have you traversed through similar environments? You sound as if you are familiar with them.

. . . Who calls themselves a simple traveler?

[startraveler]

I do. Would you prefer I introduced myself in a different way?

[nilhilistic]

I imagine an actual name and descriptor is more impactful.

[startraveler]

Well, in that case "Aether the traveler" should do just fine.

[nilhilistic]

[ squints. ]

I suppose so. What a dubious start.

I'd say it's more the people I miss, rather than places ...

[startraveler]

I understand. I miss my friends too, but I'm sure they're doing well.

wow this got lost in my inbox rip

[skelters]

I really hope so!
Though, I'd say they'll be better off now!

[ in a totally non self deprecating way! he causes trouble! ]

no worries

[startraveler]

Why would you say that?

[Vash no.]

[skelters]

Well, because ...

[ hm. it seems that he's walked into a hole of awkward topic. ]

Well, I mean, everyone's got their own things to do, you know? That's what I mean!
