...Never again would it cherish a single creature, nor a single blade of grass that stood on that mountain. The kitten spent the nights wandering aimlessly, gnashing its teeth at the moon. How it wished to swallow the moon and devour the moonlight. If the world could only return to darkness, then it would finally be peaceful and content.
"I will become the new moon, the answer to everything. Then, no one will know that there were once birds, foxes, and cats in this world. And no one can know that they were different."

Additional Notes
It's not always visible in icons, but he always wears red eyeliner! Pings as divine creation - not divine himself, but definitely not human. Has a beautiful face. Though they're usually not visible, he has marks on his body that glow when he channels elemental powers. His element alignment has now changed from electricity to wind.
Wanderer is also more resilient than human being, and is capable of taking a lot of abuse. He could survive standing right in the middle of a fire and has been able to survive what would have been lethal experiments for anyone else.

I'm fine with everything except pictures of bugs and gore, textual nothing bothers me.
(Wanderer): Oh, it's you. (Wanderer): I must apologize. I nearly mistook you for the type to leave your guests alone to fend for themselves. Traveler: How do you like it here?
(Wanderer): ... Traveler: Wh—What is it?
(Wanderer): Hey, you own this place. What are you so nervous about? It's not a good look.
Traveler: If there's something you want to say, just say it.
(Wanderer): Hmph.
(Wanderer): ...It's nothing. I was just thinking about something inane. (Wanderer): In your, uh... realm, some areas are completely empty. Traveler: There's no need to fill everything to the brim. Empty space has a beauty of its own.
(Wanderer): You're right. Look at me, coming around here, criticizing your lifestyle choices. (Wanderer): It's generous of you to host me in your home. The least I could do is be grateful.
Traveler: I'd place more things if I could, but I can't.
(Wanderer): I get it. There are always going to be those things that are just beyond our ability to manage. (Wanderer): With some things, they improve over time. With other things, the most you can do is to maintain the status quo.
(Wanderer): This is your home. Arrange it as you wish. (Wanderer): I'm just another person passing through.
(Wanderer): You have the prerogative as the owner of this place. Let's hear it. (Wanderer): ...What, were you expecting me to start the conversation? That's probably not going to happen. (Wanderer): It's not so much that I have nothing to say... I just have nothing fun or positive to share.
Traveler: It's okay. I know what you're like.
(Wanderer): You make it sound like that's some kind of achievement... I'm pretty frank with everyone nowadays. (Wanderer): ...Although that hasn't always been the case. (Wanderer): Do you know why I'm so fond of tea? (Wanderer): When I drank tea for the first time, all I tasted was bitterness. No matter how much I tried to drink, there was no sign of any kind of sweet aftertaste. (Wanderer): At that time, I was sitting awkwardly by some bladesmiths. I was ignorant about the conventions for human conversation and their ways of life. (Wanderer): Someone poured out a cup for me, and for lack of anything else to do, I accepted it. Ended up downing one cup, then another, and then another... (Wanderer): Hahaha... Now that I think back on it, they probably thought I genuinely liked to drink the stuff.
Traveler: And now?
(Wanderer): ...And now that I've had a taste of just about every flavor in this world, I've found that actually... bitterness is the one I like best. (Wanderer): Spices are just added extras to mask a bland base, and all sweetness does is make the ugly truth easier to stomach... But bitterness is the true flavor of life. Raw and unadulterated. (Wanderer): I don't care for dressing things up to make them more palatable. Life is about learning to handle the truth. (Wanderer): Bitterness is what it is. It doesn't change because of what comes before or after it. (Wanderer): There's no need to kid yourself into thinking that a bitter cup of tea will have a sweet aftertaste.
(Wanderer): Why — you planning on helping me do it? Whatever it is? (Wanderer): In that case, I need to give this some thought. I wanna find out exactly where that line is... and then see how far you can be persuaded to bend it... (Wanderer): Kidding. (Wanderer): Although the expression on your face was priceless, I'm not in the business to make you suffer just for my amusement. (Wanderer): If you really have nothing better to do, why don't you go find something for me to eat?
Traveler: Do puppets need to eat? (Wanderer): It's not strictly necessary. Not for me, anyway. (Wanderer): But I've always found dinner tables to be extremely fascinating. (Wanderer): Everyone's got their own agenda, but they all have to pretend to be cordial and considerate. (Wanderer): Ah... what I wouldn't give to take you to one of the Harbingers' banquets. (Wanderer): Hah, the extreme lengths they'll go to to get out of the missions they dislike... (Wanderer): Hehe, it's truly a pity that only the two of us are here. A party of two won't have any good drama. (Wanderer): Anyway, I'm not picky, so I'll eat whatever you make.
Traveler:Still, give me something to work with.
(Wanderer): Why don't you make some of your personal favorites? (Wanderer): So even if it gets painfully awkward during our meal, we can still at least enjoy the food.
Traveler: Got it. I'll go prepare a whole feast of desserts!
(Wanderer): ...Okay, my mistake.
Traveler: Eh? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?
(Wanderer): That wasn't an apology! (Wanderer): I was just conceding an error in my judgment. (Wanderer): Anyway, it's probably a good thing that you have a mean streak. (Wanderer): I don't think I could stand to be around you if you were completely incorruptible.
(Wanderer): Good morning. (Wanderer): A new day, a new life huh?
(Between 19:00 and 6:00) Traveler: Good night.
(Wanderer): So, another ordinary day. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. (Wanderer): Thank you for trying to look out for me. Go get some rest. (Wanderer): I'm not done with today just yet.
Quiet Times by the Riverbank (Wanderer): ... (Wanderer): Many, many years ago, back when I still harbored the wish to become human, I prayed that I would one day be able to lead a normal life. (Wanderer): I never did fulfill that wish, but that doesn't mean I'm here pining ever harder for it to come true. Still... the fact that things didn't work out doesn't make my past self a fool for hoping in vain that they would, does it?
Chorus of Desert and Wood (Wanderer): I always found the forests in Inazuma too gloomy, and the ones in Snezhnaya too frigid. (Wanderer): This one, though — seems warm, humid, teeming with life... Nothing to make me hate it so far. (Wanderer): Why are you so surprised? I have good moods every once in a while too, you know.
