If it eases your mind any, we are working on a way to fix our worlds so everyone can go back home.

[He gives her a reassuring smile.]

That little fact is not something the Administrators care to include in their letters for some strange reason...

[heavensfailure]

That does help some. Much more than 'no, everyone's doomed' would.

Oh, right, I should probably introduce myself. My name's Emiya Shirou.

[oathshackledbird]

Well, I am glad to be abl--

[Diarmuid's eyes grow wide.]

You cannot be Emiya Shirou! You are a girl...

[He brings a hand up and starts to rub at the bridge of his nose.]

Stupid Second Magic...

[heavensfailure]

It's not like I was born a girl. That would be weird.

[...and this isn't?]

[oathshackledbird]

Wait...what do you mean you weren't born a girl?

[Diarmuid is totally confused. He had merely thought that she was from a world where Shirou's gender had been different at birth, but this...?]

Did someone cast a spell on you? For what purpose?

[heavensfailure]

[Sigh. This is always an awkward explanation.]

Basically, my body was about to break down, so Ilya gave me hers. That's why I'm like this.

[oathshackledbird]

Ilya?

[It has been a while since he heard that name.]

Of course...you were her beloved big brother...

[heavensfailure]

[That just gets a quiet nod. Of all the things Shirou doesn't talk about well - and he's never been particularly eloquent about anything except maybe food and swords - it's Ilya.]

[oathshackledbird]

I never got to know her well before she was sent away from this place.

[He shakes his head sadly.]

It is a shame such a fate came to her, but I am sure she was at peace if it helped to save you.

[heavensfailure]

She was here? Where is she now?

[oathshackledbird]

She was, but she was sent away from here several months ago.

[A regretful look crosses Diarmuid's face.]

I am sorry. If you would like to see the stone in the graveyard that was placed there when she left to allow us a way to remember her, I will be glad to show it to you.

[heavensfailure]

[He would have liked to reunite with her. Even if it was a different her.]

I'd like to see it sometime.

[oathshackledbird]

I will be glad to take you there.

[A sad look enters his eyes. Considering how much they meant to each other, Diarmuid would have liked nothing else than to be able to reunite them.]

It is not much, but it helps to have something solid when the memories just aren't enough.

[heavensfailure]

Thanks.

[...topic change.]

You know my name, but I don't know yours.

[oathshackledbird]

Oh! My apologies.

[Diarmuid bows to Shiriou the best as he can from his seated position.]

My name is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[heavensfailure]

Nice to meet you too. Sorry it's like this.

[oathshackledbird]

As am I, but at least I can help you to get settled in more safely. It doesn't erase the wrongness of this whole situation, but it helps a little, yes?

What questions can I answer for you?

[heavensfailure]

Mostly, what are we doing to get out of here, and can I help?

[oathshackledbird]

There is a lot going on here and things do change very quickly. Let me start with that.

[He falls quiet a few moments thinking of where to best start.]

Do you know much about research?

[heavensfailure]

Absolutely nothing, sorry.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid waves a dismissive hand.]

It's okay. There are other roles that can be filled. Will you tell me where your talents do lie? That way I can give you the information most relevant to your skills first.

[heavensfailure]

Well, fighting. I can still Trace weapons but I'm not as good as it as I used to be. Getting used to a different body's circuits is hard.

[oathshackledbird]

Trace weapons?

[Diarmuid gives Shirou a confused look.]

I apologize, but I don't know what that means.

[heavensfailure]

Reproduce them, basically. Learn their structure and then project another copy of them.

[oathshackledbird]

Project? Out of thin air?

[It is unfortunate that while Diarmuid did meet the Archer who was once Emiya Shirou, he never got a chance to see the man use his power and so has no idea how said power works. All he can think of is summoning a weapon, but that is completely different from creating one.]
