madimpossibledreamerDesmond actually is doing better than he thinks, but he’s right that he has been half-assing it a little because he wasn’t confident. He did obviously decide to have another existential crisis, this time because he finally realized that people might know who he is now.
Red’s speech about the war is paraphrased because, among other things, he usually tells it at his store.
( synchronicity )
madimpossibledreamer “You’re the best partner.”
“No, you are. I’m a Pretender to the title.”
*snort*
“What?”
“Pretender.”
“You have got to be joking.”
“I am.”
“...I walked straight into that one.”
madimpossibledreamer “Throwing yourself in harm’s way is something for the Slayers, mister.”
“Aww, come on, aren’t you at least going to tell me you’re proud of me?”
“...Okay, I am happy you saved that civilian, but I don’t want there to be one less Xander in the world!”
“We don’t know that I saved his life yet. He’s in worse shape than I am. At least he’s here so I can listen to what they’re doing. To know for sure we’d have to be in something like a video game and have restarted the level because he died the first time.”

madimpossibledreamerI completely forgot I’ve visited Il Duomo in Firenze, oops. Was super jetlagged but one thing I do remember: the doors are absolutely gorgeous in person
madimpossibledreamerAfter Desmond finished his speech, I went “wait a minute, that sounds familiar”. There’s a lot of similarity there with Glenn Yarbrough’s It’s So Easy Not to Try.
Chapter title from Beta-senpai (who is still not beta’ing this whole story as he’s not familiar with Assassin’s Creed but is lending a hand here and there). I also sent him part of the speech and he went “I’m sensing some well-earned hostility there...”
compilation of weirdly 10x more relevant to Desmond than your average TSW character dialogue from Krieg:
“Are you here for a signature? I'll make it out to "Christ almighty," since you're so intent on dying for our sins.”
(He did also mention ‘the buzz fades’. That’s less Desmond-specific, though.)
“I’m a writer. I make millions repeating myself. What’s your excuse?”
“Who would you be, what would you be, without this, without your precious war on evil, without your secret world, your sacred brotherhoods, your ranks and titles and rituals. You’d be just another rat stuck in the race with a dead-end job, living for a paycheck and the weekends.” (...not that Desmond would think that was a bad thing.)
“You soak in it so others don’t have to. You take one for the team.”
“Maybe it’ll be different this time. Maybe you’ll save everyone.”
