"And it leaves a choice....do they want to see the world burn or do they want to fix it?.... Personally I've had enough of seeing things burn. And knowing my luck....ill have her entangled into some buisness. Getting back to an entirely different world probably means I'll have to deal with leaders through the land. I'm not getting that normal life I want anytime soon." Firefly knew her predicament only asking "Just depends on where I should go next...."

"I'll tell you one thing, you won't find the answers from any nation that exists. If that were the case . . . it's hard to say what could've happened." The Wanderer hinted at the previous Traveler, and all the nations they visited during their time. He did chuckle lightly thinking about it. His entire life would've been changed had no one stopped him, but would that've been a good thing in the end? He shrugged, knowing it was all behind him now. "You'll figure it out eventually. That much I know."

"But I've gotta start somewhere....and since I'm already in Inazuma... It might be a good start to try to find someone here." For firefly it was trying to ask for a little help....but this meant having the possibility of seeing someone higher up...maybe even Raiden Shogun. That may not be the best for wanderer if he wants to avoid digging that up again.

"Obviously, it isn't like we're traveling between nations the next morning. For now, we need a place to rest. And that shouldn't be an issue, assuming the locals aren't all that weary of foreigners thanks to the efforts of the previous Traveler." The Wanderer guided her along the shoreline leading back to the main island, this time headed towards a path that lead forward along the island. This one would bring them to their next destination within minutes.

If only he knew how possible that was for her. "Understood. I think I'd like a fall asleep instead of from the sky." She'd flash a smile as she followed him  "previous traveler? What can you tell me about them? Maybe I might recognize them?" It could be blade...or maybe someone from her works that could understand her.

"Heroic, not the brightest, stubborn and optimistic. To think someone like that could get as far as he currently did. Congrats on that, I guess." The Wanderer shrugged his shoulders. It was a thought still hard to imagine, given their aforementioned state. But whenever he thought of that, their otherworldly abilities came to mind. "A man with blond hair and exotic clothing. About my height and travels with their stomach exposed."

"Oh....never mind. I don't know him... though if I see him, maybe he can be helpful. I'll keep him in mind. People abilities can surprised you when pushed. Someone's personality isn't the only factor in success." Firefly would remind him adding "Personality doesn't matter much in a battle after all." Whenever she talked of battles she seemed to change to excitement.

"Hmm, I wouldn't say that much. Your personality plays a significant role in your emotional capacity for combat. How can you possibly muster the effort to fight when your spirit is shattered? Arguably, it plays an even larger role than your fighting capability to fight." The Wanderer offered his own take on the importance of emotions in combat. He's seen it many times over, how warriors void of morale tossed their weapons down, especially in the face of overwhelming disadvantages. They had entered the village, his movements slowed down to appear more peaceful.

"I never thought of will fight as an emotional aspect...but I see your point." Firefly did give him that point and she'd follow his pace once they were closer to the village. She enjoyed the peace but even as she was relaxed she was on guard. Constantly looking at her surroundings.

The Wanderer didn't need to look around to realize they're being observed. He can't blame them for staring, knowing the both of them stand out like other Vision-Bearers. This place has had its fair share of those with the ability to wield the elements, especially after recent events. The Wanderer stopped besides a fence guarding a Garden. "Hmm, here."
