winds_voice | 7

[Wherever Eley happens to be right now, it seems pretty windy. Whether it's because of his influence or just the natural way of the weather, you can't really be sure, but thankfully his voice carries loud enough not to be hindered by the wind.

Only... his tone might sound a little less curious than you're used to. Somewhat distant. Perhaps even a tiny bit sad?]

As I have recovered enough from my illness to venture out with no ill effects, and since the weather has improved, I have decided to take the opportunity to seek shelter in the mountains. While I would still prefer to refrain from keeping myself in confined spaces for too long, I am hoping I will be able to make use of any shelter I find in future to prevent myself from falling sick again.

I would like to take a moment to thank the people here for teaching me your ways and helping me to take better care of myself. It has been an... interesting experience.

However, I also must announce that I will be staying in these mountains for quite some time. I would... like to ask you not to seek me out.

It may fade yes... but what if it occurs again? I do not want to repeat the experience, especially given my... volatile actions when my emotions become too intense. This is as much for your protection as it is mine.

I have learned to trust in some, but with it comes risks. Perhaps I am not ready to face these risks.

[Spock's eyebrows twitch as he recalls a conversation that sounded similar to this not long ago....

It was with one Mister Mithos...

As for volatile reactions... well.. Spock tried to kill his Captain the last time he insulted his mother.]

Believe me when I say that that course of action is not wise.
To take risks is to 'grow' and 'mature'. You would do well not to separate yourself from the world.

[Someone who might have indirectly pushed Eley's thoughts in this direction in the first place... He is listening honest. In fact, he's sure there must be some truth to Spock's words. However... he still doesn't seem entirely convinced to return.]

I was never meant to grow. A Spirit is made for one purpose and that is all they should know. I have become... too human. Now I must come to terms with it.

Indeed, but it is logical to do that among other humans. Your perimeters have changed, you must learn to accept the change. [Just as Spock had to accept his mothers death... and that Vulcans might actually be wrong when it came to emotional suppression.]

[Eley knows he's right. He has to move on or risk fading away entirely. And now he finds himself wrestling with his thoughts.]

Learn... there is much I still have to learn. Is it really worth it in the end?

I am Vulcan, all knowledge is placed above all else in regards to worth. It is our... treasure.

Allow those who care for you to... help you Mister Eleytheria...

...I did not realise that it was so important to you. I am sure we could learn much together.

[But only if he came back and opened himself up to it again...]

I am sorry. Though I am sure there are those who care for me and are willing to help, I am still... undecided.

May I inquire as to what lead you up to this conclusion? [Spock was bothered that there would be someone who would make Eley believe these things...]

...

I met someone in Luceti who appeared to have suffered immensely at the hands of humans. It... upset me, and made me realise what I had been through as well. He told me that while happiness can be found, pain will always catch up in the end. Perhaps I believed him.

Pain and suffering can be used as tools to aid in the process of growing and maturing...

Happiness is relative... and to borrow a human phrase, 'it is wherever you find it'...

May I inquire as to what humans have done to you?

[He'd been reluctant to define it that way but thinking about it... Eley was sure he must have had a taste of happiness when it came to his friends. It did hurt to talk to them like this and be apart from them, but he also felt conflicted.

He sighs as he does his best to answer the question.]

They... abandoned me for their own power. They decided that they did not need me anymore and so began to try and erase every trace of my apparent existence. My friends did this...

[Spock considers what Eley said for a moment...

This was proving rather difficult.]

No one individual has the ability to change your mind except you yourself... However, I will encourage you to take this time in Luceti for what it is...

An opportunity of which you have never had before... an opportunity to learn about your humanity.
Though certain individuals in your own universe have been... abusive towards you... Here there is no danger except for what the Malnosso inflict upon us.

[It would be very difficult to admit to Eleytheria that he considers him a friend...]

I will admit that I have... not met anyone as abusive in Luceti just yet. In that case, perhaps you are right. Perhaps... I should see it as an opportunity.

[He had enjoyed learning, experiencing new things after all. But... he hesitates.]

Just as long as the moment is still here, and I am not left behind once again.

The 'moment' as you call it... will always be there. It is a matter of courage.

Though you may feel that you have none... such is not the case. You are a curious individual with a bright mind... you will not let this deter you for long.
