Wh--d-don't treat me like a kid! I'm not crazy, the thing is evil!

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs softly.]

Did you ever stop to think I'm not treating you like a kid and am instead just looking for a good reason to have a sleep over so I can play with your hair some more?

[fionnuisce]

Are you really thick enough to believe you need a reason?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid tucks a second finished braid up and moves onto a third. His eyes drop to the side and he is silent for several moments before finally speaking.]

I didn't want to bother you after how much I hung around while your powers were completely gone.

[The smothering. Remember it, Waver?]

[fionnuisce]

...

[Does he ever.]

Just between the two of us...I might not have minded quite as much as I let on.

[oathshackledbird]

You...don't have to say that just to make me feel better.

[His voice gets soft.]

I am sorry. You know I worry and I really enjoy spending time with you, so...

[fionnuisce]

I wasn't aware I apparently had a trend of saying things I don't mean. [The sarcasm is strong with this one.] When did I start doing that?

[oathshackledbird]

How about when you said I was smothering you? Especially since you say now that you 'might not have minded it as much as you let on'?

[Sarcasm noted and returned.]

[fionnuisce]

In hindsight, I'd rather have you smothering me than not have you around at all. How's that?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid smiles, finishing the third braid.]

I guess I can accept that.

[He gathers the three braids together and starts to carefully twist and twin them into a rather complex and beautiful knot that rests lightly on the rest of Waver's hair once he's done.]

Too bad we don't have a mirror...

[fionnuisce]

I trust your work. More than that I trust you not to make me look like an idiot.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid laughs softly.]

What if it is less about trust and more about me wanting to show off my handiwork?

[fionnuisce]

Oh--so it's a matter of pride, is it? Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid frowns slightly, though there is a twinkle in his eyes.]

I know I haven't done much recently to be proud of--certainly nothing like defeating an evil chicken or stealing someone's hair care products--but I do have a few talents to take pride in.

[fionnuisce]

I'm always proud of you regardless. Not to say that's worth very much, but it's something.

[oathshackledbird]

Waver, keep saying things like that and I am going to start wondering if I pulled those braids too tight and accidentally cut off the blood flow to your brain...

[fionnuisce]

What, I'm not allowed to say something nice when the planets align properly?

[oathshackledbird]

Well...maybe I'll accept it when the planets are aligned and your hair is really soft and shiny...

[fionnuisce]

How fortunate--I believe that to be the case right now.

[oathshackledbird]

I wonder how long it will stay that way...

[Diarmuid lightly runs his hand over Waver's hair.]

It will be a shame when it fades.

[fionnuisce]

Why don't you just enjoy it while it's still in this condition and not worry about how long it'll be that way?

[oathshackledbird]

I do believe I just heard you say "Stop talking and play with my hair, you idiot," so don't mind me if I do just that. It would be terrible of me to ignore such a direct order...

[Diarmuid grins at Waver and then returns to messing with the man's hair.]

[fionnuisce]

That would be what I meant under layers and layers of subtlety. Well spotted.

[well he'll just make himself comfortable right here, thank you]

[oathshackledbird]

I am not completely unteachable....

[Diarmuid sighs contentedly, happy to focus on playing with Waver's hair for however long the magus lets him. Or until he falls asleep which has happened more than once when Diarmuid was playing with his hair...]

[fionnuisce]

Not at all, of course.

[He certainly doesn't seem like he's about to put a stop to it.]
