The Wanderer didn't like mortals. He didn't want to have fun, because he felt like he didn't deserve to. How unfortunate for him though, that Lesser Lord Kusanali had "forced" him to join the Vahumana Darshan. This also included being "forced" into participating in events and festivals that happened during his time at the Akademiya.

And how unfortunate for him that at he was "forced" to go to the Winter festival. But oh, how fortunate he was, to see you there.
