...Look, that question is really hard for me to even think about when I've been a freaking book for a couple of years. I've been laughed at, mocked, diminished, and ignored just because of this form.
[He might say it's hard to answer, but it seems to have broken a dam within him. Not that doing so is hard, since Zetta has no concept of restraint, but it's not like he TALKS about this sort of thing to anyone...]
So yeah, it's freaking exhausting living up to these standards I have. It'd be so damn easy to just blast this train and everyone on it to bits, then go conquer the nearest world. It would've been easy to take the entire Far Shore over while it was distracted, too. It'd be easy to just squish people who doubted me! But I'd always have to live with the fact that I took advantage of someone's weakness or cowardice or folly -- that I could only take someone on when they weren't at their best, not when they were at full strength. That's not something I can live with! I won't have that sort of allegation tainting my name and title!
