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. ]

[killedwithlove]

So did I.

But that doesn't change that you're best being you. Even if you made you.

[precedented]

[ He chuckles, a low deep sound. ]

I doubt there will ever be anyone like me.

[killedwithlove]

No.

But there won't be anyone exactly like anyone else.

You're going to walk the Golden Path. But you're still a person, like other people are people. Unique. Individual.

[precedented]

I won't deny that.

[ He couldn't, anyway. ]

[killedwithlove]

[Cole leans over and wraps a gloved hand around Leto's.]

Everyone is so special, in their own way.

[precedented]

[ He squeezes it gently, aware of his wormskin around his hands. ]

That is what keeps me going.

[killedwithlove]

[It doesn't bother Cole, a soft hum of tiny, tiny lives that are content with their lot.]

Good. You'll need those other lives later, but not now. Now, you can live yours.

[precedented]

I have a very long life ahead of me.

[ Far too long for his liking. ]

[killedwithlove]

For a human, yes.

[He nods his agreement. He knows older. He's met older. But for a human, it will be insufferably long.]

[precedented]

For anyone. I was old when I was born. I saw humanity crawl out of the mud. I was there when we went to the stars.

[killedwithlove]

[But they're not Leto. Leto can be them, live it, but they're not him.

Cole isn't all the lives he's lived. But she just shrugs and nods agreeably and lays down his king.]

I need to go and help someone. They need a spare part for their respirator and I know where it is.

[precedented]

[ He smiles. ]

Good luck on your game.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole doesn't smile, it's not really a natural expression for him, but he nods solemnly.]

You should play the other side, so the Queen can win.

[precedented]

Then I'd feel bad for the King.

[killedwithlove]

He won't mind. Not for a game.

[And then he's gone in a curl of smoke.]

[precedented]

[ Leto watches him go, setting the piece down. Unique, he thinks to himself with a bemused smile. ]
