[ Nodding... ]

So you practice magic too?

I wouldn't really say practice. In my world Craft magic is kinda.. omnipresent? It's a part of battle, yeah, but it's also in a lot of everyday life.

Craft magic... Like just creating things?

The textbook way to describe it is "the art of sculpting the many facets of the world to one’s desires." But it does more than create some things.

[ Continues to step on the lightstage, trying to remember some explanations. ] It uses wide variety of applications, from skills used during battles to everyday spells, such as sculpting matter to a specific shape, painting, creating weapons, modifying one’s appearance or giving objects magical properties.. The list really does go on.

How versatile...

Is this campaign against King also how you lost your eye?

[ JUST STRAIGHT TO THE POINT HUH ]

..No. That was a different incident.

[ yEP ]

Quite a dangerous life you've been living, my friend.

[ im not surprised ok

("My friend"..? Another one to say it so freely.) ]

The ways of a traveler.

Are they good journeys?

Mortal peril aside.

..Yeah. Having the freedom to go wherever you want, it's nice isn't it?

[ Extremely profound silence. ]

Yeah, I'd say so. And not an option for many people...

[It's fine. ]

A lot of people do it on my world, but from what I've heard with people here.. it does seem like it isn't.

It's not in my world. Most people are farmers, so they can't afford to leave their land behind. And even those with money can't afford to do it often.

Besides that, it can be dangerous, so most people wouldn't want to risk something happening to their family.

That makes sense. Having a lot of responsibilities makes it harder to just go out and travel.

I was lucky to be able to pick up random jobs as I went to keep my travels comfortable enough.
