( he has to think about that one for a moment. he's always considered himself in relation to other people, acting as a response and not instigating anything. but that's not necessarily true, is it? the big, key decisions of his life have been selfish and impulsive. and for the most part, he doesn't regret them.
he settles one hand against his chin as he thinks. ) Guess the universe-- the multiverse? the realms?-- aren't big enough for everyone to just do whatever they'd like without butting heads. And sometimes that's to the good. If you don't break down that door, the world'll keep trying to ignore its best minds.
( it's complicated. once upon a time, he wanted nothing more than to practice medicine in a rural small town with a wife and a family, not bothering anyone. but how much would he have missed if he was still back in marietta? ) It's a strange game. You play your hand the best you can, but in the end you don't really even know the rules.
