For such a man, death would be a gift.

[ He tips the queen with his finger. ]

[killedwithlove]

It would be.

[Cole sets his queen down carefully.]

You'll never fly like Alia, but you'll swim.

[precedented]

I rather drown.

[ He has no real attachment to living. Only his commitment to the Golden Path keeps him alive. ]

[killedwithlove]

Drown. Swim.

[He shrugs and looks off somewhere else.]

[precedented]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

I am a desert creature. Swimming metaphors don't sit well with me.

[killedwithlove]

I went into a desert. The winds screamed loss and the rocks remembered only Blight and blood.

I don't think most deserts are like that.

[precedented]

No, they are not. Though loss and life walks hand in hand in the desert.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole is quiet for a while. He pulls his knees up to his chest, heels resting on the edge of his chair and chin on his knees.

He virtually vanishes behind legs and hat while he thinks.]

I don't like deserts much. They're quiet. Rough. And there's no nugs.

[precedented]

The desert is not for you.

[ He watches him quietly before turning his gaze away. ]

You'd burn yourself out in such a place.

[killedwithlove]

No.

[He looks at his pale skin.]

Maybe. I don't know if I burn. I don't eat or sleep or drink.

[precedented]

You're not missing much.

[ Leto can still do some of that . . . for now. ]

[killedwithlove]

I don't like eating. I've done it a few times, but I don't like it.

Sometimes water is nice. It feels nice in my mouth.

[precedented]

[ He laughs softly. ]

I have no fondness for water, I'm afraid. Or food.

[killedwithlove]

No. Not now.

Especially not the water. Burn, like acid, like fire, like Blight.

[precedented]

They used to say that running water kept spirits away. There must be some truth to that tale.

[killedwithlove]

I've never heard that.

It isn't true in our world. We just move across it.

[precedented]

It is an old Earth superstition. They have many concerning spirits and ghosts.

[killedwithlove]

But you're not from Earth.

[precedented]

No. But my ancestors were from Earth. I lived on Earth through their eyes.

[killedwithlove]

That must be confusing. Do you forget when you are?

[precedented]

Sometimes. I try not to make a habit out of it.

[killedwithlove]

Why would you make a habit of it?

[precedented]

It's very easy to delve into a different life. A happier life, a more exciting life. My lives are rich and varied. I could be an emperor of Rome or a musician on the streets.

It has its inherent temptations.

[killedwithlove]

... but, you'd be best being you. No one else can be you.

[precedented]

I created myself. When we were in Aather, we have nothing to go by. I reinvented myself as the memories returned.

[ Leto wonders what his true personality was, before the other lives set in at birth. Aather was the only place where he was a child, got to live like a child, but briefly. ]
