I'm glad you think that I'm a hero. Maybe someday I'll even start to believe it.

It would be nice if you weren't so intent on the idea that I'm going to die, though. Though if I can die a hero, I think I'd be okay with that. At least I could do something right.

I believe it.

And I am not okay with you dying under any circumstances. Nor is Dad or Mom. We already lost you once.

[shipwreckedcanary]

I'd rather not die if I have any say in the matter, either. I've spent enough time 'being dead'.

[cnri_cry]

I'm glad we're on the same page then.

I just wish you could see how amazing you are.

[bodilesswarrior]

In my experience, the best heroes are the ones who don't see themselves that way.

[shipwreckedcanary]

I can agree with that. Some of the biggest heroes I know certainly don't see themselves that way at all.

[bodilesswarrior]

Do they think literally everything is their fault?

[shipwreckedcanary]

At least one of them does, yeah. Hard to convince him otherwise, or that he doesn't have to do everything by himself. [That's the annoying part, really.]

[bodilesswarrior]

Lord, that's the most annoying thing about it. But eventually they catch on.

Most of the time.

[shipwreckedcanary]

I can only hope so. He seems to think just because it's his fault, he needs to take care of it by himself.

He's got a good team though, and I hope, even if he won't - or shouldn't - rely on me, he'll rely on them.

[bodilesswarrior]

Why shouldn't he rely on you?
