[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.

[oathshackledbird]

Ah...technicalities...

[Diarmuid shakes his head for a moment, and then a curious look fills his eyes.]

Can I ask you an odd question? Did you happen to look in your trunk before you left your room?

[croibhristeoir]

Ah--no, I didn't. Though I do recall seeing such a thing when I awoke, I was more concerned with finding my Master before anything else.

Why, was it important?

[oathshackledbird]

When you arrive, the Administrators try to help you settle in easier by giving you several items from your home world. They are only copies, but when they are copies of things you never thought you would see again...

[Diarmuid shrugs, the sheepish look back on his face.]

I was just kind of curious what they saw fit to give to you and if it was anything like what I got.

[croibhristeoir]

[Lancer idly raised a hand to the right side of his face, concerned.]

...do hope they were at least kind enough to remember my sunglasses.

[oathshackledbird]

Ah! If not...

[Diarmuid smiles and pulls a pair of sunglasses from the pocket where he stashed them for safekeeping when the orcs attacked.]

They meant a lot to him and so they were one of the things he got when he arrived here. He gave them to me for the same reason he gave them to you, but if you need them...

[croibhristeoir]

Oh...

[Faltering again, Lancer stared at the sunglasses for a moment before shaking his head.]

No, I...you should-...

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid frowns for a moment, but then slides the glasses onto his face.]

I will keep them for now. Let me know if you arrived with yours or not. If not, we will figure something out. My curse has never been at full power in this place save for once, but it is unpredictable and that makes it very hard to deal with.

[croibhristeoir]

[Lancer simply gave a slight nod in response; apparently the feeling of being replaced wasn't so easily brushed off.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid knows that down look too well and, if his double doesn't move quickly, he will find himself flicked in the forehead again.]

You have not be replaced. Stop that!

[croibhristeoir]

Ow--stop that! And how exactly am I not meant to feel as though someone's merely taken my place with him?

[oathshackledbird]

You trust him, don't you?

[Diarmuid gives Lancer a stern look.]

If you cannot take my word for it, then at least prove yourself not to be a liar and trust his.

[croibhristeoir]

I trust my Master absolutely. But I also trust in myself to manage to disappoint him.

[oathshackledbird]

Why?

[A knowing look enters Diarmuid's eyes.]

Tell me once when you have disappointed him.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't--

[Lancer actually took half a step back, glancing around nervously.]

How could I be anything more than a disappointment?

[oathshackledbird]

Again I ask...when were you a disappointment to him? Give me one example and I will believe you.

[His eyes narrow slightly.]

I know my mind and I know how it thinks. You can't give me an example, can you? Because you haven't. You just think you have.

[croibhristeoir]

I...just because he's not said as much doesn't mean I haven't...

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid sighs and shakes his head. He knows a losing battle when he sees it. Not only that, he does know his own mind.]

We will just ask him when we get to the Laboratory. Where you won't believe me, I know you will believe him...

[Eventually. After hearing it about a millions times... he adds to himself.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Lancer paused in his steps, hesitating for a moment before starting to follow Diarmuid again.]

Is it...is it much farther? Even if they are not the same as you say, I should like to confirm my Master yet lives in at least one way.
