One: I already told him that if he doesn't work around the clock to fix this I'll have Volumen Hydragyrum kill him in his sleep.

Two: PUT ME DOWN ALREADY!

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives Waver a curious look.]

One: How does making him figure out a way to fix this mess prove you are smarter than he is?

Two: No. You tried yelling already. Try something else, my dear half-pint master.

[velveteenmage]

Brilliant delegation of responsibilities and teaching him that the consequences of fucking up are me throttling him, that's how!

Please put me down.

[oathshackledbird]

I will accept the answer to question one.

[Diarmuid laughs.]

However, while close the answer to question two is still incorrect. Try the puppy dog eyes with that. I might be willing to fall for them with you this...puppy-like.

[velveteenmage]

[You get the fun of older!Waver's frown in a tiny package instead.]

No.

That is actually a really good icon!

[oathshackledbird]

Awww... Come on, not even a little?

[Diarmuid shifts his hand causing Waver to dangle side to side slightly.]

I swear I won't tell anyone just how cute you can be. I promise.

ikr...

[velveteenmage]

H-hey, stop that!

[FLAILING AGAIN and...probably inadvertently giving him the exact look he's after.]

Come on, Diarmuid--this is ridiculous enough, you're not helping.

[oathshackledbird]

Of course, I'm helping.

[Diarmuid gives him one last swing--a little stronger than the others--and flips him onto the nearby couch.]

See? Helping. You are now down and without me even taking any blackmail pictures...

[velveteenmage]

[Waver scrambled to a sitting position, crossing his arms with a scowl.]

Tossing me around is, as far as I am concerned, the opposite of making this easier for me.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid crosses his arms over his own chest and mimics Waver's scowl.]

You asked me to put you down. This I did. You never specified how I needed to put you down. As they say, the devil is in the details, my friend.

[velveteenmage]

Hmph. You can't even give me a break at a time like this?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's expression grows more serious and he walks over to sit on the arm of the couch.]

Is it wrong that I am trying to lighten the mood for you? If there was anything else you could do to fix this now, I expect you would still be at the Tower working. Since you are home, I can only assume you are stuck and need something to get your mind off things...

[velveteenmage]

...You're right. There's really nothing I can do but wait either for this to wear off or Eskardos to sprout a brain.

But if you're trying to make me feel better, at least sit next to me instead of over there.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs softly, moving to sit next to Waver on the couch.]

Better? At least I am now in hitting range, right?

[velveteenmage]

Better. You're still a jerk, though.

[oathshackledbird]

So you have said on more than one occasion.

[Diarmuid tilts his head to the side to rest against Waver's shoulder.]

So...is there something I can do to help you with all this?

[velveteenmage]

Not really. I guess we're pretty stuck for now.

...it's weird, but this is kind of nostalgic, to tell you the truth.

[oathshackledbird]

Oh?

[Diarmuid smiles, dropping his arm around Waver's shoulders and pulling the ma--boy closer.]

Care to share? To tell me a story about a pair of idiots who thought they could win a war?

[velveteenmage]

[Waver smiled slightly despite his attempts to continue being annoyed, leaning against Diarmuid's side with hardly a second thought.]

I couldn't read Japanese. Still can't, actually. So whenever we tried to go somewhere I had to ask you to read any signs. It was...kind of embarrassing. Especially when we got lost.

[He shook his head, laughing softly and placing a hand on Diarmuid's arm.]

I used to shout at you and pull on your arm when I was upset or nervous because I barely came up to your shoulder when we were standing together. Kind of pathetic, really.

[oathshackledbird]

Not pathetic, cute.

[Diarmuid's smile is gentle. Though he expects that Waver will probably object to the description, he says it anyway because it is true.]

Do...you want me to try and teach you Japanese? That way if we ever go back to visit, maybe we will spend a little less time lost?

[velveteenmage]

I can use better translation magecraft now, but...i-if you wanted to, I really wouldn't complain.

[Waver's face colored a light shade of red as he spoke. He shifted slightly, looking away.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives him a slightly confused look. He's not quite sure what to make of the boy's reaction.]

Why are you blushing? Did I say something wrong?

[velveteenmage]

N-no! It's just...you don't have to do that, so it's nice that you'd offer.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs and lightly ruffles Waver's hair.]

I like spending time with you. Why wouldn't I want to do something like that for you?

[velveteenmage]

You're treating me like a little kid again, quit it.

[Was he sulking? Waver frowned, crossing his arms.]
