"The problem isn't what you do," Lustia said. "The problem is what Rex Rexilion is seen doing while you do it."
She turned her head and looked at him directly. "You have built a character."
"Rex Rexilion is an innocent and reliable person in the surface world."

"Those are advantages, but they remain advantages only if Rex Rexilion is too visible and too busy to embody either role." She tilted her head slightly. "You can't be in two places at once."
"Not with your own body."
Rex said, "But with something else...?"
