Quite the opposite, actually. Think it's about the most impossible question in the world. Ideal for who? You? Me? Everyone else? Am I just going to want something different when I've reached this so-called ideal world?
Who's to say my world isn't ideal right now? It isn't like I'm unhappy. Well-- Perhaps that's going a little far. My world's a bit shit at the moment. But on the whole, well. It's not so terrible. Enough gold to get by. Decent enough company.
[Hearing him lay this all out just makes him feel a little bit impossibly sad. For how alien this contentment sounds to him and for the fact that it was squandered; that someone left him dead in a road and he doesn't even know it. But - ]
[Or it's just a portrait of an unambitious drifter with the occasional kind impulse. A con artist, a flim-flam man, but not the worst. Coming from a foggy haze, going nowhere.]
Maybe an overstatement too. Suppose everything's alright at the moment. I'm getting in my head, I think.
I, uhm. . . I hadn't spent very much time in the company of other people in a very long time. Other than Nott, but even then. . . it took a little while to remember how.

Shouldn't say more in case I need you for it.

Got it, got it. Well if you ask me, based on alliteration alone, seems like the type of thing some of our more joyful and bouncy friends might know?

[It sounds like something Jester would know, so maybe ask someone Jester adjacent.]

Just a little bit.

So that rules out Beauregard, we are both cuter than her. . .

Might have found the floor of cute with her. So really only upwards from there.

Someone like Lila or Maya or your friend who hates pyramids.

[Looking up like he's trying to think of who is the Cutest in all of the land.]
Blonde and Charming? In constant fights with the geese? He seems the type to know the dark arts of promises. Vows of vengeance and all.
