We're already in some magical land that makes our dreams come true - mostly the bad ones - so let's think about the impossible some more.

[Leonard may be calling it "impossible" mostly to heckle one specific Brit, given he's travelled through time himself, but maybe it will also flush out other time travellers. May be interesting.]

If you could travel to any point in history, where and when would you go, and why?

Also, if you could travel to any point in your own personal history, your lifetime... Same questions.

Would you try to change anything?

[He has experience with trying and the resulting failure too.]

She wasn't here at the time.

You miss the family that's worth missing. I mostly felt like I'd abandoned her. Would be my fault if she got hurt without me around.

But, hey, magic was still cool.

[doorkey]

[ Isn't all family worth missing? It reminds her of that uncomfortable conversation with Frisk in Neverland, and quietly counting her blessings about her parents for being good people, every night afterward.]

You must be a really good big brother.

But it's good practice to be alone sometimes, you know? Even when you're a girl. She'd probably just learn to take care of herself, when she had to. Like me!

I'll take any kind of event where I get to do magic things or have cool powers, really? It doesn't need to be a special wizard school.

[catchacold]

[There is a reason Frisk and Leonard have bonded early on over how much they have in common and the reason isn't anything good.]

Debatable.

I guess. She did learn how to take care of herself well. I'm sure you did too.

See, I don't really like events that change who I am. Especially not when they make me a teenager. I'm too old. Once you've lived through that, you really don't want a repeat.

[doorkey]

Is being a teenager really that rough? I mean besides all the pimples and stuff.

I'm only eleven, so I'm almost there, but I hope it's not too bad.

I guess I won't have to deal with growing up till I get home. Someday. Maybe.

[catchacold]

Think it'd depend on circumstances. My biggest issue was puberty while having to raise a child. It wasn't all bad, so you might catch a break.

How long have you been here now?

[doorkey]

A long time.

More than half a year, but a before that I was a here fpr a couple of years!

[catchacold]

Wow. Do you remember it all?

[doorkey]

I remember some things? Most things, I guess?

The mansion wasn't too much different from how it is now, except that pretty much all the people have changed. Gone home, maybe? It's weird that I'm still here, still me.

One of these days I'm gonna end up just like Alice. She can't really remember anything from before Wonderland.

[catchacold]

I wouldn't worry about that just yet. You ain't a lot like Alice. You're you.

I'm sure you can stay you, if that's what you want.

[doorkey]

That's definitely what I want. To be me. To remember every important thing.

[catchacold]

Then you will stay you, for as long as you want that. You got nothing to worry about.

[doorkey]

Are you super sure? Even with every mansion mix-up, I'll still be the same me by the time I go home?

[catchacold]

No, but about as sure as you can get. I don't think there's anything here that can break your will.

And everyone says you get a clean slate when you return home.

[doorkey]

I guess that's really nice of you to say. I'm glad.

Right. I've seen that, when some people have gone away and came back. Its just

Sometimes I still worry about it.

[catchacold]

Just my experience talking. People don't stop being themselves, especially not when they have a strong will.

Worrying makes sense. Just try not to let it scare you.
