Well, in retrospect, it was similar to telling a story. Although I didn't know how the story would unfold, so it was also something of a mystery! In a way...
[...Look, one needs to find silver linings to these situations!]
...It's not impressive. I'm just making sure to know and respect my surroundings and the living things that were there before me. If I'm going to enter their space, the least I could do is learn something about them, first.
[She's isn't going to be the overbearing mom again 😢]
You're very considerate. Even for seraphim, not everyone appreciates all forms of life the way you do. I would say that in itself is already impressive. Yet not only that, you also know far more than seraphim many times your age. To learn so much at your age shows that you have a deep dedication and passion for living things.
[But ugh. Fine. He'll humor Lailah's questions just for a little bit.]
I like to travel.
The more you move, the more you learn. It can be from observing your new surroundings, listening to the animals, or talking to to the people you meet along the way. No matter what, there's always some sort of knowledge to gain.
[W-well a burnt marshmallow has a bit of a tough crust!!]
Travelling does indeed provide a wealth of experiences, doesn't it?
[Although it seems their travels have given them rather different types of lessons.]
Still, talking to the people you meet along the way... That's quite a romantic view!
Fleeting yet intimate connections... A bond maintained in the hope that the wanderer will someday return... Yearning hearts awaiting in every corner of the continent!
[Just like how he copes by shutting down conversation whenever it gets even remotely uncomfortable. He's a healthy boy.]
Must be nice having all sorts of lofty beliefs.
I've got to go take care of a few things. Let me know how things go with the Shepherd and if we'll need to get a replacement that knows how to handle a crab.

Ah, so you agree! 😊 Yes, I thought they at least could have shown they heard it. It's very rude to ignore someone like that.
I think it was the group near our table.
no subject
[It's not worth it to correct her. Hmph!]
Wait.
Are you talking about the group of humans?
no subject
[YEAH IT MIGHT JUST BE CLICKING]
😳😅🙃😇
[Emojis make everything better...maybe???]
no subject
[NOPE.]
no subject
But Dezel, you should have said something earlier!
no subject
Honestly, I thought it was just you being...
...you.
no subject
I spent all that time worrying that I was invisible!
[Because you were, Lailah]
no subject
no subject
But it was a little fun, in a way!

[...Look, one needs to find silver linings to these situations!]
no subject
So it was like a mystery novel where not even the author knew how it would end?
no subject
Yes, that's exactly right! An improvisational mystery story.
Mystorious! 😃

[Lailah believes he has plenty of other good points, too!]
I'm sure he's learned his lesson now, so we shouldn't have to worry.
I must say that your knowledge of wildlife is always impressive, Dezel! You know your sea creatures just as well as insects and land animals.
no subject
Good.

It's not that deep!
It's common sense. That's all.
[Stop complimenting him and making him feel nice iT'S WEIRD]
no subject
All right, if you say so 😊
While we're on the topic, where did you learn so much?
no subject

You've had a promiscuous youth 😳
no subject
It wasn’t like that!!!
Don’t turn my words into some weird romance novel crap!!!
no subject
Oh...it wasn't? 😅 In some ways, that's a shame...
no subject
To who?!
You're the only one who's concocting scandalous stories about me!
no subject
I'm sorry, I suppose I did get a little carried away...
So there really aren't any hopeful hearts waiting for you to visit again someday?
[It's just such a cute and romantic idea
if a little scandalousokay!]no subject
No.
I'm not about to get that close with somebody when I know I'm just going to be leaving in a few days with no ideas about when or if I'll be back.
It's not romantic to pull that crap. It's cruel.
no subject
Indeed...you're quite right.
Even if we seraphim will almost certainly meet again someday, the time in-between may far exceed a human lifespan.
no subject
Yeah.
And it's wrong to leave someone pining for that long.
no subject
Yes, I should not have made light of it. I'm sorry.
no subject
[Actually don't because Dezel suddenly feels, dare he suggest it, bad about what he's said.]
Whatever, it's fine.
It's not like you were being purposeful about it or anything. It's just a mix-up.
no subject
Thank you, Dezel. You truly are very thoughtful of others' feelings.
Then, instead of romance, I hope that those you have encountered during your travels will fondly remember their meeting with a kind wind seraph. 😊
no subject
It's basic manners!
Nobody is going to remember some wind seraph who said 'please' and 'thank you'. There's nothing remarkable about that!
no subject
Politeness is a virtue worth remembering 😇
Besides, if you learned some things from people you met, you must have talked a bit more than that, right?
no subject
A bit, yeah.
But not enough to make any sort of lasting impression. It's not like you remember every single person you've spoken to over your life.
no subject
No, not all of them...but that is also a consequence of time 👵
I still like to think that I remember most, and I don't believe you would be easily forgotten, Dezel.

no subject
That he's abruptly shutting down the topic is also about as obvious as that gooey center.]
My, this is rather sudden. I'm sure Sorey will be fine, though.
And it's thanks to you, Dezel.
no subject
[Alas, today is not that day.]
Yeah.
You're welcome.
[There. At least he's showing that virtue of politeness that Lailah mentioned!!! Pro..gress...?]
