He is...

[It's subtle, but something about Diarmuid's body language closes off.]

And no we aren't asking him for favors. He's made it clear he wants nothing to do with me unless I come back to the force and...I'm not going to do that. Not after what happened.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer puts down his drink and gives Diarmuid a quick hug.]

It's alright, Bro. Forget I ever brought that up.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives his brother a slight smile.]

It's not your fault. I really liked being on the force, but we are suppose to be keeping people safe. When people started distrusting each other and questioning orders because of me and those rumors...I knew it was time to go before someone got hurt.

[He looks down into his drink.]

I should have gone sooner...

[puppy_lancer]

Whoever started those rumors sucks. And your buddies on the force should have known better and trusted you.

What if you got a transfer? To some other town?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

It's a moot point. I'm sure every cop in the nearby areas has heard about it by now. Love and power aren't a good mix. Not like that.

It's...better this way.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, you've got more time to spend with me, at least.

[oathshackledbird]

More time to spend keeping you out of trouble you mean.

[Diarmuid laughs.]

Besides, I wouldn't have had the time to work at the dojo if I was still on the force and I am really enjoying that too. It's not the same as being a cop, but I am still helping protect people. When are you going to come by? You keep saying you will, but you never show.

[puppy_lancer]

When I can get a day off from work.

[He makes a face.]

I swear my boss just likes running me into the ground sometimes.

[oathshackledbird]

You know, you are required to be given so much time off in a year. Why don't you ask for it and take a break?

[Diarmuid gives his brother a worried look.]

Or will your boss make you suffer more once you get back?

[puppy_lancer]

Well...it's because there aren't very many workers. And those who are there won't work as hard as I do.

[Cu being the more responsible one? You know something's wrong.]

And yeah...she'll make me suffer, alright.

[He sighs.]

Don't worry about me, though. I know how to stay on her good side.

[Good side being the side that won't murder him.]

[oathshackledbird]

I worry about you anyway. Just because you are her best worker doesn't mean she has the right to take advantage of that.

[Diarmuid frowns and then takes a drink.]

If I thought it wouldn't just make things worse, I would go talk to her.

[puppy_lancer]

Don't. Please.

[Now it's his turn to look worried.]

You know she doesn't like you very much.

[oathshackledbird]

I know. That is why I won't.

[Diarmuid takes another drink and then frowns when that empties the can.]

Like I said, it would just make things worse.

[puppy_lancer]

I'll deal. After all, I'm good at finding ways to make things work you.

[He tries to give Diarmuid a comforting smile.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid smiles slightly.]

We're brothers. It's just what we do. Sometimes we make things better and sometimes we make them worse. What is the point of fighting it? Though, I still want you to come to the dojo sometime soon.

[puppy_lancer]

Does after work tomorrow sound good? I'll pop on over and listen to one of your classes.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's smile widens.]

Yes, that would be perfect. I will be there all day too so if you are running late, still come. I will be there.

[puppy_lancer]

Just in time to help you clean up, huh?

[oathshackledbird]

No, I wouldn't make you do that. Not after such a long day at work. I am used to cleaning up on my own. Don't worry.

[puppy_lancer]

Alright, then I can bring the beer and snacks, and we can party after you're done cleaning?

[oathshackledbird]

We can, just not in the dojo.

[Diarmuid laughs.]

I don't want to have to clean it up again and there is too much we could get hurt on in there.

[puppy_lancer]

Right. All those weapons. Which selections did you have again? Besides swords and spears?

[oathshackledbird]

Do you mean everything I have or everything I teach? Aside from the swords and spears, the only other thing I really teach are knives.

[Diarmuid grins.]

However, I do have a few more unique weapons that I bring out to show people from time to time.

[puppy_lancer]

I wanna hear about the stuff you bring for show. Did you get any new samples lately?

[oathshackledbird]

Not samples, no, but I did order some bladed fans. They are quite beautiful and quite deadly. I'm still learning about how they are used.
