"That is... quite disappointing," Aten remarked when Ilma put in her own two cents about Sylva's current state. "I do remember a time when it was a somewhat pleasant place to live, at least. I cannot speak of it much, but at least it wasn't as... dark, as you make it sound now."
Ilma, subtly, then inquired if Aten was looking for a fresh start. Which, truth be told, he had considered, but not heavily. He had spent such a long time out here in the Forest it only felt natural to retreat into its seclusion when the night sky was painted black and the night predators came out for their evening meals. He felt somewhat of a thrill when he managed to evade their detection despite the brightness of his golden coat against the dark backdrop of the trees, but, as of lately, he'd begun feeling something he hadn't since he'd been separated from his sister.
Dare he say it, he was feeling... lonely...
But was he ready for a fresh start when the wounds of Taiga's destruction on his heart were still trying to heal? But Ilma did make her home sound appealing, along with the others... but which one would be right for him? Would he feel at home at any one of them, after he'd lost everything?
Maybe he could... if Ilma was kind enough... he'd feel more secure in a new place if he perhaps had a potential friend to guide him... but he wouldn't overstep his boundaries yet... he had to ease into it without making Ilma think he was overly eager since he still didn't think he was ready yet.
"I've... considered having a fresh start, but I have not yet found any of the kingdoms... suitable, for me, based on what I've heard before I met you. Any... do you have any sort of a recommendation, for one I should investigate before I make my choice?" he questioned her, silently waiting in anticipation for what advice she might have to give.
