[ Yeah, that's what "confusing with someone else" means. ]
but take all of the time that you need, richard. sabo will be here pleasant as he can be while not thinking about certain things. is there relief when richard realizes his mistake?

It's fine, this isn't the first time that it's happened. [ he'll chuckle to himself. ] However, now I'm wondering just how familiar my face is to others even from other worlds.
It's not? Perhaps he's even more traveled than I was previously led to believe. He's certainly been around enough kings to warrant a change of scenery, I suppose.
[ :hmmmm: ]
Or perhaps there's always just a version of you in other worlds?
[ this is so funny but i won't explain why, but the knowledge that they spend time around royalty makes his smile drop. he's still in good spirits but... well. his secrets. ]
If there was a choice between the two then I wouldn't know which would make me feel more at ease. The idea of a version of myself in other worlds seems pretty overwhelming.
They're still me and I should still be responsible for my actions. If others wish to blame their actions on me is one thing, but I can't ignore what I've done.
[ He pauses, like he's sure of what he should be saying, before giving a somewhat noncommittal shrug. ]
I suppose it's hard to say, given that I would have no knowledge of any of my other incarnations, regardless of what class I was summoned as. As it stands, I can only judge myself on my own actions, from what I do going forward.
But that does not mean I still won't take responsibility for all that's come before, or after.
[ class he is summoned??? there needs to be some explanation about this here but as richard continues his answer...maybe not. do the semantics really matter when the message is overall the most important part? ]
It looks like our answers are similar. Neither of us are keen to shy away from our responsibilities.

no subject
Because of the scale of things, or out of some kind of responsibility for all the rhetorical versions?
no subject
hmm. ]
A little bit of both.
The scale is overwhelming when I first think about it, but eventually I know I'd feel responsible for their actions.
no subject
Even though they, by and large, have nothing to do with you, nor inform your actions as they in this space?
no subject
Yeah.
[ he'll fidget with one of his gloves. ]
They're still me and I should still be responsible for my actions. If others wish to blame their actions on me is one thing, but I can't ignore what I've done.
no subject
I think that's a respectable answer – allowing yourself to have the weight of an endless number of yous on your shoulders is no small ask.
[ It doesn't sound like it's coming from a place of knowing, just. A general observation. ]
no subject
[ which probably sounds far more nobler than it actually is. aka, presenting on revolutionary before one king(?). ]
How about yourself? What kind of answer would you give me if I asked the same of you?

Indeed, I'm always happy to find a kindred spirit. [ ^___^ ] One could argue that that logic of yours would make you befitting of a knight.
no subject
A knight? Me?
[ he's flattered but also??? no??? ]
No, I wouldn't make a very good knight.
