With only your hands, hu?

[Diarmuid's tired smile grows into a smirk now as he purposefully twists her words.]

I've been told I have a pretty level head on my shoulders. If you only use your hands to try and remove it, it might take a while...

[Perhaps he should not be antagonizing her at the moment considering how badly hurt she is, but in all honesty, if she can yell at him and complain so loudly, she is just fine. He would be more worried if she was silent.]

However, if you truly wish to try and dispatch me in such a why, I will not stand in your way.

[He will just tower over her a bit, since he's so much taller than she is...]

[penisenvy]

[She scowls at him, and then, silently, quickly, moves to kick him in the shin.]

[Frankly, he has it coming for being so tall.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Such a childish action would usually get either no response or an equally childish response, but just because Mordred is short doesn't mean she can't kick. Diarmuid curses in Ancient Gaelic under his breath for a few seconds and then turns an annoyed look on her. The annoyance doesn't last long, though, and soon his smile is back. In fact, he can't help but chuckle a little.]

Well, if I had any worry about how badly hurt you are, that took care of it. Trying to cut me off at the ankles? An effective, if slow tactic. It would make reaching my head easier anyway.

[penisenvy]

[She wishes she had use of her hands so she could punch the man right in the middle of his smug face. But alas, one hurts too much to move and the other is needed to grip her sword.]

[Nevertheless, she had gotten a quick break in his usual cocky facade and it pleases her.]

I don't need hands to deal with you, Ua Duibhne. Careful, lest my next kick breaks your neck.

[oathshackledbird]

[He shouldn't keep teasing her, but it has been such a long time since Diarmuid has been around someone who he has felt he can joke with like this that it is hard not to. It is one of the things he likes about her even if she is an enemy servant.]

If your foot can reach my neck, you mean...

[penisenvy]

OH FUCK YOU!

[Now she's going to try to boot him in the groin. Think fast, Lancer.]

[oathshackledbird]

[After that kick to the shins, he is watching for a similar retaliation and she doesn't disappoint him. However, because Diarmuid is watching this time, he has no trouble getting out of the way of the kick. Once he settles far enough away to avoid a follow up kick, he shakes his head.]

Honestly, do you talk to your master with that mouth or am I an exception?

[penisenvy]

[Her already furrowed brows more or less go into a v-shape at this point.]

That is NONE of your concern, Ua Duibhne!

[She gives an angry little huff.]

And why would I speak to my Master, who has earned every bit of my respect, like I would speak to an enemy? Dumbass.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs.]

My, my aren't you protective of your master. Well, that's not a bad thing. A servant should be protective of and respectful toward their master.

[Honestly, deep down he's a little jealous that she seems to be such a good match with her master. He is certainly not with his own.]

They are lucky to have you.

[penisenvy]

[She stiffens, not expecting the sudden compliment.]

O-of course they are! I'm the best Servant!

[oathshackledbird]

Of course you are.

[He smiles much more gently than he probably should.]

Until I beat you and take that title, but I'm in no hurry at the moment...

[penisenvy]

No way a mere Lancer can beat out a Saber.

[Well, technically he could be called as a Saber too, but wweh logic.]

[oathshackledbird]

Believe what you will. I won't deny you that.

[He winks at her.]

Just don't be too surprised when it happens.

[penisenvy]

[She snorts.]

In your dreams, Ua Duibhne.

[Even though she's still irritated, she seems to have settled down to a familiar simmer instead of the explosive rage she had showed only minutes ago.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid is glad to see she is settling down. However, he can't help but throw one more joke her way.]

So...is that permission for me to dream about you?

[penisenvy]

...Well, good to see that underneath all that chivalry, you're just a pervert!

[She's gone red again.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid can't help but laugh at her reaction.]

Did you ever stop to think the only thing I meant was that I would be dreaming of what a glorious battle one between us would be? If anything, since you are the one who twisted things that way, perhaps I should be asking if you are the pervert.

[penisenvy]

...Really?

[She's actually touched, knowing that a hero whose legends were widespread during her time would crave a glorious duel with her. However, this goes back to anger when she remembers a time when she had thought like that.]

How stupid, to crave your own demise like that. You propose glorious battle to all your opponents, and you have no idea if they will respond to your challenge in kind.

[oathshackledbird]

You're right, I don't know that.

[Diarmuid's expression grows more serious.]

However, I would rather assume the best than expect the worst. Hopefully, most of those who I would be challenging would respect the fight enough to follow the rules of an honorable battle. If not...

[He shrugs.]

...I have fought whole armies before with nothing but my weapons and wits. If they wish not to play fair, I am experienced in that field as well. I merely prefer a more honorable fight.

[penisenvy]

You speak like a man who has never been betrayed.

[She sighs and shakes her head.]

...When you are one of the last people who should be speaking like that.

[oathshackledbird]

No, you have it wrong. It is because I have been betrayed that I should believe as I do. I am not completely a fool, Saber.

[Diarmuid crosses his arms over his chest again.]

I know there are people who will try to take advantage of my beliefs, but there will be others who will not. I won't let those who would rather live in dishonor change how I live and how I view others. Those who choose dishonor over honor should not have that kind of power over me or anyone else.

[penisenvy]

...

[She bites her lip. She almost wants to start screaming again due to the mix of pity and anger that she feels.]

...Can I hold you to that promise, Ua Duibhe?

[Instead, what comes out is a quiet murmur.]

That no matter what happens, you'll keep that stupidly naive view of yours. That no matter how many times you're hurt and betrayed, you'll always keep to that path of chivalry?

[That he would do what she couldn't do...]

[oathshackledbird]

This world has changed so much from the one that you and I once knew. I find it harder to make promises because I do not know if I can keep them and a promise broken is honor broken.

[He stops a moment to think through his words before continuing.]

However, this is such a part of me I don't know if it even needs a promise for me to carry it out. Quite honestly, if I ever lose that--if I ever stop following the path of chivalry--then I won't be me anymore. At that point, the only promise I would be looking for an answer to would be one from someone who would be willing to release me from that miserable state.

[penisenvy]

...Then if you would not mind a knight who has already given up on chivalry, I will act the part of your rescuer.

[She closes her eyes and gives him a tiny smile.]

You're still better than the rest of that rotten lot who use every opportunity to parade their "chivalry."

[oathshackledbird]

I would be honored to have you. I care little for the labels of the past when you have done nothing but be act honorably toward me.

[Who knew trying to kick someone in the crotch was considered honorable...]

Chivalry should not be paraded. It is not a horse or some kind of fine weapon. It is a way of living and acting. You show what it means to you by acting according to its rules not by speaking of it. So many...

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

...they just don't understand that.
