I won't. I'm a hero and I don't give up.

[He eats more of his pancakes and starts on his eggs.]

So what will we do after breakfast today, Brother?

[thepursued]

Good! You are going to be a wonderful hero someday if you keep that up.

[Which Diarmuid knows he does, of course.]

I don't know. I hadn't really planned that far ahead. Do you have something in mind?

[beforetights]

Hm...I wanna get some more training in! And you should spar with me! I've got my own spear now!

[Technically, it's his uncle's spear, but it's also the only one that can stand against his grasp when he's irritated.]

[thepursued]

That sounds like an excellent idea.

[Diarmuid gives his brother a wide smile.]

You can show me just how much your skills have grown.

[beforetights]

[He nods.]

Just you wait! I'll beat you this time! I'm already beating warriors who're taller than me!

[thepursued]

[Diarmuid laughs softly. Though he knows it's not likely to happen, he doesn't want to discourage his brother either.]

We will see, mighty warrior. First, finish your breakfast.

[beforetights]

[He goes back to eating, only this time he eats too quickly, so he chokes and winds up coughing.]

Okay, I think I'm done!

[thepursued]

Slowly, brother.

[Diarmuid gives him a stern look.]

We can't practice if you choke. Besides, before we practice we have to clean up the things from breakfast.

[beforetights]

Oh. Cleanup work.

[He pouts.]

Do we have to? I already cleaned the living room!

[thepursued]

We cannot just leave things sit, brother. It is better to clean up right away and not leave things for later.

[Diarmuid finishes his food and then stands to gather up their plates.]

You don't have to help me, since I am grateful for the cleaning you have already done, but we will be able to start practicing faster if you do.

[beforetights]

Mm...

[He has to think for a moment.]

Alright! I'll lead the cleanup, since I'm the one taking care of you today!

[He starts piling things into the sink.]

[thepursued]

[Diarmuid smiles at his brother, gently.]

All right, but let me help you. The work will go more quickly with two.

[beforetights]

Hm...you can wash the big dishes and the pans. I'll wash the small dishes.

[He turns on the water, though he turns on a little too much, sending water spraying everywhere.]

[thepursued]

Careful!

[Diarmuid quickly turns the water down.]

Why don't you let me handle that? I need a big strong boy who can dry the dishes. Would you be willing to do that for me?

[beforetights]

Yes, I would! Very much so.

[He grabs the dish rag from off its hook and reaches his hand out.]

Just give it over to me when you're done washing.

[thepursued]

Thank you.

[Diarmuid gives his brother a grateful smile, before setting to work on the first dishes.]

Just set them on the table when you are done, and we will put them all away once everything is clean.

[beforetights]

I will.

[A pause.]

How high do you think we can stack the dishes this time?

[thepursued]

I think we had better not stack them very high at all.

[Diarmuid turns to hand a dish to his brother for drying.]

If they fall, we will have to spend extra time cleaning up before we go to practice.

[beforetights]

[He nods and polishes the dish until it's dry and sparkling.]

Plus we'd need to buy new dishes, and we can't rely on our credit cards all the time.

[Now that he's older, he knows more about credit cards and money management.]

[thepursued]

That is right. Just because this money is given to us, that doesn't mean we should use it without care.

[Diarmuid gives his brother a proud look before handing him the next dish.]

[beforetights]

[He puts aside the finished dish and takes the second one.]

The people here are always so kind to us! And they remember us so well even though we've changed.

[thepursued]

[Diarmuid nods, though is quiet for a moment as he scrubs at a pan, Once he's done, he rinses the pan and waits for his brother to be ready for it.]

Yes. They are an odd sort of family for us, aren't they? One separate from the ones we have back home.

[beforetights]

Mm-hm. We're lucky. We both get to have two families.

...Can you tell me a bit about your family again?

[He and Diarmuid had swapped stories ever since they came back into the city and found each other again. But he never gets tired of his brother's stories.]

[thepursued]

I can if you would like me to.

[Diarmuid holds the pan out for his brother to take.]

You know me and stories. Is there something specific you would like me to tell you about this time?

[beforetights]

Tell me about your Lord! He seems to be a very strong hero, just like Uncle! Can you tell me about the times you went on adventures together?
