HEADCANON 02.
➤ wan·der·lust / noun : a strong desire to travel.
as i had mentioned in my previous headcanon post, “ so i headcanon he’s always somewhat dealt with a bit of depression, despite growing up in a relatively normal atmosphere. he wasn’t truly satisfied with the rural farm life of ferndale, but he knew not what he wanted to do about it, so he stuck with it, despite his desire for something more. ” but those thoughts, those wants, desires, never faded. he’s never been one to stay in one place for long, lest he bear the burden of companionship.
even after tragedy beset him, he proceeded in the way of the lance, in the way of self & exterior possession. he was ruled by the doctrine of the knights he had joined & moved only with them as he prepared himself for his ultimate battle against nidhogg. as he graduated & time went on, he found he could not stay himself. stillness existed no longer within him, as he had gained full access to his own life & spared the few friendships he had made along the way. he travels a lot, he likes to travel, he finds some simple joy in experiencing new places & new beginnings, never allowing himself to stay put long enough to forge anything of emotional attachment to anything. instead, he appreciates the different cultures he’s made face with & the different foods that accompanied them.
he’s never been one who is afraid to try new things. however, his desire to travel is less about the new sights to see & more about escaping his previous presence. his life is a game of cat & mouse with none other than himself. the exploration of new lands is but a luxury that accompanies his constant migration.
tl;dr bc idk what im saying : he enjoys to the pros to traveling but maintains his escapade with only the desire to escape.
