Since I'm the one tall enough to pick you up and dangle you like a bad puppy?

[He sounds serious for all of a second before laughing.]

Again, blame your elder self. I discovered I kind of like this partner thing he insisted on, and sometimes that means being the one to tell someone else what to do instead of just doing as you are told.

[velveteenmage]

...This isn't fair. I should at least be content with that, but now I'm just even more frustrated than I was earlier!

[oathshackledbird]

I would suggest taking it up with your elder self, but he might pick you up and dangle you like a bad puppy too...

[Diarmuid laughs, placing a hand a short distance above his own head to indicate height.]

He's taller than I am now. How that happened is something I really would like to know...

[velveteenmage]

Now I know you're being ridiculous. I hate to say it, but there's no way that's possible.

[oathshackledbird]

What?

[A smirk turns up the corner of his mouth.]

That you grew so tall or that your other self would dare dangle you?

[velveteenmage]

Both!

[just the first one]

[oathshackledbird]

Well, the look in his eyes sometimes when he is upset with me suggests he would dangle me if I were a few inches shorter, so I have no doubt he would dangle you as well. As for the first one...

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

If you really want to know that, you will have to ask him about it. Everyone deserves to have a few secrets and I'm letting him keep that one.

[More like he won't tell, but...]

[velveteenmage]

...hmph.

[Crossing his arms, Waver frowned.]

I don't want to talk to him. Why should I? For all we know, we're not even the same person.

[oathshackledbird]

You're not. Aren't you listening?

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

Just because you are versions of the same person, doesn't make you the same person. However, it is likely he will have insights to you that others won't. No one will make you meet him or the other Waver, though.

No matter how much they might like to have your help with that hell chicken...

[velveteenmage]

I don't need anyone's hel--

What chicken.

[oathshackledbird]

Oh, for crying out loud... Not you too...

[Diarmuid sighs, putting his head in his hands.]

The Tower gave the younger one back a chicken that he used in his summoning ritual. They both keep acting like it's demon-possessed or something...

[velveteenmage]

Because it is!

[Waver immediately went tense again, rolling up his right sleeve to show bandaged and healing scratches scattered about his forearm.]

That damned thing tried to take my arms off!

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid frowns. This is the first time he's actually seen the wounds, though he has become pretty familiar with the scars they will become.]

Well...if someone was trying to sacrifice you for a magical rite, wouldn't you fight back?

[Okay, so that is probably a little unfair and the twinkling in his eyes makes it clear he knows it, but...]

[velveteenmage]

Th-that's not the same thing at all!

[oathshackledbird]

All right, all right, so it's not.

[Diarmuid laughs, giving in since there is no point to arguing a point he can't win.]

He put it into the trunk of a man who has caused us a fair amount of trouble so it could torture him. Does knowing that help any?

[velveteenmage]

...Just a little. [Waver pulled his sleeve down again.]

[oathshackledbird]

I'm sure Sephiroth probably killed it, but since 'pets' come back...

[Diarmuid frowns.]

I wonder where it is now. They haven't said anything about it lately...

[velveteenmage]

Off hiding and making some terrible plot against the innocent, I'm sure.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

Perhaps it found a way to escape the Tower and didn't tell any of us out of spite? Now it roams free to terrorize others at will...

[That is probably...not helping any.]

[velveteenmage]

Lancer. W-was that really necessary?

[Not that he thinks it's possible. Oh no, that would be silly.]

[oathshackledbird]

[That reaction earns a raised eyebrow from Diarmuid.]

You are right. I shouldn't tease about such things, should I? It's probably still in here, but you are totally safe because it only plots against the innocent and as the one who sacrificed it, you are certainly not innocent...

[Diarmuid!]

[velveteenmage]

Wh--w-w-wait just a minute, what's that supposed to mean?!

[oathshackledbird]

I'm just following a train of logic...

[That jumped the track a while ago and wrecked, but...]

But don't worry. As I promised your older self, I will protect you to the best of my abilities should it change its mind. No chicken will defeat me!

[velveteenmage]

...

[Waver actually began to look downcast at that, but didn't say anything for or against the sentiment.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's expression falls, good humor suddenly gone. He's learned to read the subtle changes in his Waver's mood over time and this isn't even that subtle so it doesn't really even matter that this isn't his Waver...]

What is it? Did I say something wrong?
