Okay, something I've been wondering.

How many of us, outside of this place, are tasked to save the world or whatever? There's some big evil or something coming and you're the only one or one of the few who can or will stand against it?

Bonus points for also having a predicted doom outside of that giant threat.

I was just curious if I was the only one whose life sounded like an awful fantasy novel.

I don't expect you or me or anybody to knock on her door this minute and show her a thing or two, but you've drawn out such a collection of the heroic sort with this network post, you may as well make good on it.

I'm talking about a push to clear another area of the castle, of course.

... I guess that's true. I'm not much of a leader, but I can... try to push people towards it.

[Well, no. That's not true. He can be a leader, he's just not comfortable with it.]

Oh, don't make it sound like performing surgery. Just do it. What's the worst thing they can say to you if you ask?

'You have no idea what you're doing.'

[Look, for someone who used to live off of books, having no clue what he's doing is constantly terrifying.]
