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 <(︶▽︶)>

[nilhilistic]

Yes. I have traveled to different countries and a parallel world.

[startraveler]

Oh? Now that sounds interesting.

But you didn't enjoy the travels?

[nilhilistic]

It . . . never crossed my mind to enjoy them.

[startraveler]

Why not?

[nilhilistic]

I suppose I don't know how.

[startraveler]

I see.

Is there anything you enjoy doing?

[nilhilistic]

[ it's been a thousand years and more. so much had slipped through the cracks as he waited and prayed for his sister's return in a silent world.

and even before. he never truly existed as "rafal" ]

I enjoy baking. And sweets.

[startraveler]

[Maybe something can change? Starting from little things.]

That's a nice hobby. You can pick up many recipes from different countries as you travel. I did exactly that.

[nilhilistic]

For what purpose?

[startraveler]

Making it yourself, of course. If you enjoyed a local cake, you can ask for a recipe and try to recreate it whenever you like.

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

That's true. I hadn't considered that. I never pursued it that much.

It was just one of the few things I enjoyed.

[startraveler]

It's never too late to start, then. I can teach you some recipes if you'd like.

Maybe you'll discover other things you'd enjoy.

[nilhilistic]

I have been told I should put more effort in that.

If you are amenable, I will learn these recipes.

[startraveler]

But is that something you want? Though, personally I think you should still give it a try. You may like it more than you imagined.

And yes, sure. I'll think of something easy to start.

[nilhilistic]

I don't often consider my own desires, but I suppose it is close to one.

[startraveler]

Is that something you weren't able to do back home?

[nilhilistic]

Yes, you could say that.

It wasn't feasible until lately.

[startraveler]

Well, at least in here you can try to explore some hobbies old and new.

[nilhilistic]

So I've been told.

It does not come naturally to me.

[startraveler]

Don't worry. Everything takes time.

[nilhilistic]

This is not cause for worry.

It's of little importance if I . . . enjoy my life or not. Practically inconsequential.

[startraveler]

But why? If it's not important, then why not enjoy it anyway?

[nilhilistic]

[ because he's not worth it. because he's never been worth it. ]

I never found a good reason to try.

[startraveler]

It seems to me like you're taking it a bit too seriously. You don't need a reason to enjoy your life, but I understand that if you never tried it may seem difficult.

Like I said earlier, let's start from little things, okay? Baking some cookies or cakes is a good way to start.

[nilhilistic]

[ well. he takes it seriously because he doesn't want to slide into his old behaviors. getting more than what he deserves could be a lever for it.

but . . . he also can't keep punishing himself if he wishes to go forward and fulfill his goals. and nel . . . would be upset with him. ]

I would like that. If it's fine with you.
