[Eley seems to be sitting near the site of his recently planted tree by the river today. With the journal held in front of him and perched on his lap, you can catch glimpses of the grassy bank behind him and perhaps a flash of colour from the hill in the distance. The sound of flowing water can also be heard from the nearby river.

The Spirit himself seems rather thoughtful again.]

As a deity in my world I am not unfamiliar with the idea that humans are always desiring one thing or another. People are always wishing, always hoping, and they often turn to me for a way to achieve that which they most want. They vary greatly... from a general desire for peace and health to something more specific, such as finding a partner or acquiring an item they have been wanting for some time. I have also experienced terrible greed firsthand... a greed that has severed good ties between nations and even threatened to destroy one in the process.

In the past I would not share these desires, but since I have steadily grown to feel more human since my stay here I am beginning to wonder what it is that I truly want... and what I might do to gain it.

Is there really any point to holding onto futile dreams? Longing for something that you are certain you cannot have? When does it become necessary to hold onto such a hope and when does it become a problem?

And I must ask... what is it that you desire most? More importantly, what would you do to attain it?

Even Spirits... [Well it was true. He had been alive for thousands of years but even he was changing. Perhaps the rest would soon follow.]

If you are willing then speak clearly to me. I am used to humans confiding in me when they are harbouring doubts or trying to solve a problem. I know it may seem more difficult when approaching me like this... more like a human, and a friend... but I will always be willing to listen.

Though I cannot tell you that I may be able to offer a solution.

That's right, even spirits. [So even if he had said before that so much of what he was experiencing in Luceti was new, she wondered how long it would have been before he began to change... Hopefully for the better. He had proven himself capable of that already with what he had told her at the cultural fair.]

... Thank you, for the offer. I won't deny that it does feel a little strange, because you are my friend. [Because where she had come from, such things always had to be hidden. She had to hide her desires from the world and herself.] But I'm glad you would listen, even if you can't offer a solution.

Though part of me does continue to believe that I've been selfish, no matter how rationally I look at it.

[private] WHY HAVE I NOT REPLIED TO THIS

[winds_voice]

Selfish? What reason would you have to think that?

[He tilts his head as he waits for her answer. He feels as though he's missing something here and since he really was willing to listen, he would if Tear decided to expand on this. This was their space and he would let her do what she liked with it.]
