He just wanted to hear about these different universes and what they had to offer. Wanted to test out technology that was unlike his own. Wanted to see new kinds of magic and hear about different kinds of gods. He couldn't deny being ecstatic about that part.

Not just for his work, but he also knew his comrades were still in combat and his homeland was still endangered by the plague - which no one understood as well as he did. He was instrumental to fixing these things and couldn't be replaced.]
