[The water seems to have boiled rather quickly at least, if the way that Jonathan is going about setting up the tea now is any sign.]
Richard...when you say the most 'you', forgive me if this sounds rather ignorant, but just how is that so? Is not the you who you become over time just as equally yourself?
[Most likely he'll at least try to understand. It might be hard but he'll try.]

Before Ryslig, you were human, yes? A mortal man. I was this. ...I still am, frankly. I'm still adjusting...
[ He cuts himself off, shaking his head slightly. That's not what he was trying to say, that's... How does he put this.
He drops the Ring again to knit and unknit his spidery fingers. ]
I... part of me, was human, once. A very, very long time ago; and I was never very good at it. Another part of me is the Great Evil God, the lord of shadows and the darkness within the hearts of all mankind. Most of that part of me... it was. cut off, in many ways, from integral parts of what makes me myself.
I've grown, and changed, since coming to Ryslig. But I'm not entirely certain if I would have changed the way I did if... I'm not sure that it's me who changed. ...That's...

He takes a few moments to really think about things, looking troubled. Finally he responds in a small voice. ]
Is that really... ok? I... I miss that part of me, the Darkness... I want it back. But I have friends, family, now...
Can I really have both? the Darkness, and people I care about? Mortals who matter to me?
If I'd never lost it, I wouldn't be able to care, I don't think, but...
[ Spidery hands go to his head. ]
I still want it back...
no subject
...I do wish though, that I could answer how to recover such a thing whilst doing so.

He's not entirely sure what to do with Jonathan's opinion on the matter. But as for 'how'... ]
Mnh... it's possible Mana could be of some use there... she helped me get my family back.

[ How delightful, ]
Re: 2/2
I've not however, no- I actually haven't been to any such domain. It feels rather rude considering my own neutral state after all.
no subject
[ Whether he means his family or his family's screams is not clarified...
He nods slowly when Jonathan admits he's never visited the domain - that makes sense. ]
I've had them in Ryslig proper too, but... I didn't recall introducing you, no. Would you like to meet them?
no subject
[His nerd is showing, as always,]
Indeed not however, so I would be quite happy to meet them yes!
