[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.

Oh...

[Alright, he had seen dogs, turtles, even octopi that spoke and walked and basically lived with enough similarity to his own life that he could... take this statement of being a Wind Spirit at face value]

Nice high ground, too. Lots of defensive advantages to being up there.

[or Janine, their resident survivalist expert, would say]

[winds_voice]

...you seem surprised by this.

[Perhaps he'd gotten so used to people just accepting him for what he was that he didn't realise there might still be some out there who found his identity a little strange.]

You make it sound as though I am trying to defend something in battle. I have no intention to use violence against anyone here. In fact, that is one of the reasons why I should distance myself in the first place.

[z_jay]

Ah-- no, please don't misunderstand. Circumstances in my world, we're... it's a bit second nature to consider these things if you're planning on staying anywhere.

[Smiles softly, evident in his voice, and genuine in his apologetic tone.]

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to imply you were planning to attack us.

[Voice]

[winds_voice]

[He pauses, sounding perhaps a little apologetic himself. He gives a soft sigh.]

I am sorry. I have been a little out of sorts of late. I wonder though, do you live in a dangerous world?

[Voice]

[z_jay]

Really, it's no trouble, I am going to be the first guy to be pleading guilty as charged for being overly paranoid. And, yeah. The world's pretty dangerous. But we're rebuilding it up as we can, hopefully sooner rather than later.

It's... been nice and peaceful here, it's sort of like that saying that it's too quiet.

[But now he's blabbering and stops himself short with a smile]

One of the things we did there was have a radio broadcast. So in that honored tradition I'll say this... stay safe out there.
