[Ardyn listens, not interrupting. It's impossible to convince him that any Retrospec-related memory would not be interesting to him, simply because of the mystery that each one is surrounded by; a narrative, incomplete, for the lot of them. How is there no mystique in that?
He does hear that smile in his tone, as well. The words are laced with a sense of faraway fondness.]
How very romantic. [There's nothing condescending about that; ah, his (not-so) secretly romantic, bleeding heart.] What do you make of the parallels of these memories, versus those of reality? Mine unfortunately do not line up so nicely with my current occupation.
[ Wow, hearing this called romantic feels strange. A good kind of strange! But strange nonetheless... Ardyn is the first person he tells about that, after all. ]
I'm not sure what to make of them. I remember a point of my life where I could have pursued figure skating instead of ballet, so it feels like a realistic alternate version of reality. Something that could have happened.
[ A happier version of his life-- that's is what he doesn't say. Anyway! ]
Who's to say that it cannot happen now? If even not as a career, perhaps you should consider it as a hobby that needs picking up? If you're interested in triggering new memories, it may be an avenue worth exploring.
[At the question, though, he chuckles lightly.]
Ah... not a usual kind of occupation, I must admit. From what I have gathered so far, I was some sort of traveling healer.

What was your occupation in that other life?
