54 and 61 for Silver, 6 and 13 for Ivan... :)
54. Are they more likely to do a good deed if they know it will be noticed or do they not care about acknowledgment?
Ooohh, this is such a good one. I would say Silver will do it anyway ā even if it doesn't get acknowledgement. Ivan and him are pretty similar in that respect, on that same level with the topic both working in educative fields. Not exactly a field that sings your praises everyday.
61. If they could make people do whatever they wanted without any consequences, would they use that power and if so how?
Oh my GOODNESS, this is such a good one, Lake. I don't think he would, he's too upright for that. But if he could simply not resist the temptation ā I think he'd definitely use it just to talk to Ivan again. That failsafe method of knowing everything won't fall apart if he talks to him again.
6. How well do they cope with the reality of their mortality?
Oh my god, surprisingly well. Maybe it's because in his own universe people are trying to play god, and he figures 150 years is simply more than enough ā but he is rather content in his mortality. He is not distressed by it. In fairness, he is so young. Most people don't even worry about dying until they reach their 100s in the universe. He is 30 by comparison. One day it'll creep in though... one day. The same with Silver.
13. Is there a moral line they would never cross?
Hurting or exploiting his kids in any way. But also hurting or killing anybody. The general stuff. I know that sounds perplexing given what you've seen but... smiles. I promise it'll make sense.
