[DON'T JUST EXPLODE YOUR HAND INTO BUBBLES FOR FUN.]
I see... [Rather, he is trying to see. WATERBENDING IS ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE... MAGIC IS EXHAUSTING.] How does that work when there are multiple clones? Do you remember every conversation that each version of you has...?
I do, yeah! In general, I'm fully aware of what my other ones are doing-- I try not to make too many at once since it can get hard to focus though, especially if I'm working on something that needs a lot of focus.
[ a pause. ]
But it does make it easier for me to be around in case of an emergency.
Mm, you just start out small and make more and more to see what your limit is, basically. I'm extremely busy back home, even besides the health scares, so it helps me actually be able to do my job.
[ deadlines aren't real when you can literally do multiple jobs at once. ]
Don't get me wrong! There's loads of other people who look into it, too! Especially when you live somewhere where the environment itself is valuable for a lot of different reasons! Its resources, its history...
[ the huff. ]
I just know it sounds less cool when the others explain what they do.
[Realizing in this moment that he has no idea what the fuck the others do.]
...Well! I think that what you do sounds very important and wonderful, dear. You're caring for life, which is the most crucial job any person could have.
Of course! It can work any way you'd like for it to.
[NO IT DOESN'T!!!!! Also since it's affection week he will reach out reflexively to pat their noggin so good thing they aren't bubbles mcgee at the moment.]

I'm not familiar with this form of cloning... It does seem very convenient, though. And it doesn't harm you, to do that?

[SPOOKY....... Maybe he is a little bit unnerved by the concept, but the discomfort doesn't really show.]
I suppose you must have a decent amount of practice, then? The idea of dividing my attention between multiple versions of myself sounds overwhelming.

It's good that you have such a useful tool, I suppose... What is your job?

I just want to make sure living things have a chance of staying alive. There's no better way to test that out than by the environment they're in.

Ah... I see. That's such a lovely reason. Though I suppose many facets of science focus on that...

This is the one I decided to focus on.

—Mm, well... If it's a path less opted for, I'm sure everyone else there is very glad to have more hands on board.
