"And it's not that I have no ego," Will joined in.
"I spent so, so long denying who I actually am, and what I can do. You all know how nice it is to be useful, all of you do. You're ashamed by it, because it's new and weird and you use it for peeping," he said, pointing at William, "or because you're afraid people won't take you seriously," he said, pointing at Will, "or because you've lost the part of you with magic dancing behind your eyes," he said, pointing at Null.
"When people understand you, when they truly understand you, then you can be yourself around them. I wasn't myself for a long time, and it took me a long, long time to understand it, and come to grips with it, and get other people to come to grips with it as well. But if I want to be a water fountain in the quad, or a tuna sandwich or a formula one racing car, I should be allowed to do it! I'm not hurting anyone. It feels good. Life's too short to deny who you are."
