Well, at least you're honest.  You'd rather accept that multiple characters
with no proven weird abilities are eternal than give up a theory.

Good Lord, you're literal.

"Hey Rudesind, next time a young man like me comes by while you're on the
ladder, please send him to Ultan like you did for me."

means

"Ignore the young man if he's not like me, or if you're not on the
ladder--we're both time-travellers and I'm setting up an infinite loop"

rather than

"Thank you.  I appreciated it.  The thanks I ask is that you keep doing what
you did."
