[The cheerful disposition dropped off Lancer's face, replaced with something close to hesitance.]

Is that...is it really okay for me to cross paths with him? I--he does have you, after all. And what if that causes some problem between timelines?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid raises an eyebrow at Lancer.]

Do you really think there is any way you are going to be able to hide from him? Believe me. He will find you and then he will lecture you for hiding from him. You do not want this professor lecturing you.

And if you are lucky, after that, he won't set the maid loose on you...

[croibhristeoir]

...He's only gotten better at shouting with time, hasn't he?

[oathshackledbird]

It's either that or murder his students and that would be pretty frowned on I suspect.

[Diarmuid rolls his eyes.]

Except for Flatt Escardos. He's mine when we get back, I swear...

[croibhristeoir]

So...he's a teacher now, is he? [Lancer seemed interested, sounding hopeful he'd be able to hear more about this.] My Master truly seems very clever, so I'm glad he's able to put that to use.

[oathshackledbird]

He is.

[A smug look crosses Diarmuid's face.]

He actually took over the position and the title of the one who so unjustly mocked him. I am very proud of him for that bit of work. It's good to see that power in the hands of one who will actually use it the way it should be used.

[croibhristeoir]

Really--that's wonderful. I knew he could accomplish so much more than he seemed to believe he could.

[oathshackledbird]

Indeed, and feel free to tell him that as often as you can. He can use every bit of encouragement we can give him.

[Diarmuid frowns slightly.]

Everything else aside, he has taken a lot on himself here. He was one of the heads of the collar fluid research even though it isn't really his specialty and even now he presses himself hard to find whatever he can that might help in anyway. I joked with him not long ago I would be angry if he asked Riki to move his room to the Laboratory...

It's not really that much of a joke, though...

[croibhristeoir]

My Master did seem to be a hard worker... [Lancer frowned himself, shaking his head.]

Even so, if he's risen as far as you say, I couldn't possibly be more proud of him.

[oathshackledbird]

Again, tell him. I have never seen him happier than when I told him that. To hear it from you...

[croibhristeoir]

Surely my word can't be so important, can it?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid reaches out to give Lancer's shoulder a squeeze.]

Trust me, you have no idea just how important your words are to him.

[croibhristeoir]

But...why? I'm just a Servant, that's all.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid brings a finger to his mouth and then shakes his head.]

Do me a favor...do us both a favor. Don't say that around him. You know, unless you wish to hear him lecture you...

[croibhristeoir]

He still doesn't like to hear that? I don't understand...is it not the truth?

[oathshackledbird]

He doesn't like to hear it and neither do any of the friends and family I have made here.

[Diarmuid rests his hand over his heart.]

Perhaps technically we are Servants but in our hearts we are still what we were when we first lived...human.

[croibhristeoir]

But...that isn't our purpose, is it?

[Honestly confused, Lancer seemed to falter as he spoke.]

Servants aren't meant to be human.

[oathshackledbird]

Servants are also not meant to live beyond their part in the war and yet I have lived for over a year since then. A year...gives you a lot of time to think about things.

[He falls silent for a moment and then shrugs.]

This Tower kind of takes what is suppose to be and turns it on its head anyway. It is easier just not to fight it. Is it really so bad to be allowed to be human again after...how things ended?

[croibhristeoir]

I...don't know.

[He looked away uneasily, starting to fidget again.]

I suppose there isn't any war here, but...would it really be acceptable for me to do something like that?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives his double a lopsided grin.]

Do you really think Waver is going to deem it acceptable if you don't?

[croibhristeoir]

I doubt that he would. It seems as though he has some distaste for my own stance on the matter.

[oathshackledbird]

[An fond, but also slightly annoyed look enters Diarmuid's eyes.]

He has grown quite stubborn in his old age...

[croibhristeoir]

I don't think he would take too kindly to hearing that. Am I going to have to defend my alternate Master's honor?

[oathshackledbird]

It depends. Are we arguing the validity of him being stubborn or old?

[Diarmuid laughs.]

Though, I suppose I, of all people, shouldn't be calling anyone old.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps not, even if only due to a technicality.
