Well, um. You guys seem different enough to me?

[ varian has had like two conversations with one ion and 2 sentences with the other he is absolutely not an expert in any way ]

I think you both can be your own person even if you share... all that. It's kind of a case of nature vs nurture, right? You're a lot younger than he is, and you don't have the same background. Obviously there's going to be differences.

[ this is him. trying to cheer ion up. somehow. ]
