[ Odile hums softly, staring at the flowers as they walk. It's a pleasant quiet. One she loathes to disturb with such a personal thing, but... ]

... I suppose of all people, you are the one I feel the most comfortable telling outright. [ Helps to have made mentions here and there to others, but Shoko's the first to have it not piecemealed. ] I liked, at first, simply to see different parts of Ka Bue, but it became far more than that once I had met a merchant from across the seas -- from a country called Vaugarde.

My mother, [ though said with some distaste, ] was from there, but had left before I could ever know half the blood she gave to me. So I decided to travel there myself some years ago, to... try and find parts of who I was among the people and their traditions.

[ Three guesses on how that shook out!!! ]

That is when I would have begun calling myself a traveler in earnest, really.
