“No.” Zander shook his head. “I’m to restless for that sort of lifestyle.”

Ivar shrugged. "My people are restless by nature. Perhaps you should join us up there."

“I appreciate the invitation.” Zander inclined his head. “My responsibilities take me beyond a single region — but perhaps I could visit once you’re squared away back home?”

"Perhaps so." He inclined his head. "We are difficult to track."

“Luckily, I’m good at finding people.” Zander smiled.

"Finding people with connections," Ivar pointed out. "You will have to rely on other tribes, and they may not be so friendly."

Zander inclined his head. “Well, if fate wants me to find you, then I will. If not, I’ll enjoy your company while we’re both here.”

Ivar nodded. "A reasonable thing to say. You believe in fate?"

(Thanks! This is my first ever name change that wasn’t a joke/prank haha)
“Mm…” Zander hummed for a moment, trying to decide if they were getting into mysticism. “I believe that things that are meant to be, will be; and if they aren’t, then they won’t. I do my best to work with what life allows me, but there are things I can’t change… probably for the best. The universe is too much responsibility for me.” He laughed a bit.

"Very interesting," he mused. "Fate is a very old concept. I myself believe we make our own destiny."

(Yep! Ten years as of a few weeks ago… I just have issues with change haha I kept the same avvie like literally eight years xD)
“How so?”

"Well, we make our own choices. The gods sleep, there is no one controlling our actions. And we are not important enough to warrant such a heavy hand."

(Yeah! Excited to turn over this new leaf haha altho I highkey made an alt to save @ShadowVyper so I can go back if I want xD)
“Fair enough,” Zander agreed. “But I can’t control anyone else’s actions.”

“Exactly,” Zander pointed out. “And as long as I’m not in control of everything, I’m at the mercy of fate for how things ultimately shake out. Although I still try my hardest on a personal level.”
