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?

[velveteenmage]

I just don't get it. I didn't even think Lancer had a sense of humor. Are you...really sure you're the same person, Second Magic aside?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's smile returns at that statement.]

He does. Trust me. The problem is, you have only met the side of him who is a knight so far. Here, I...lost that side of me for a while and had to learn myself as a man again. Now I try to balance the two instead of letting one control everything that I do. Does that help with your confusion any?

[velveteenmage]

...hmph.

[Waver recovered quickly, reforming his usual irritated persona. Whether or not he was still distraught about anything was difficult to say for sure, but he did seem to switch gears suspiciously fast.]

Y...you're too nice, that's even worse here. You should cut that out, people will think you're a pushover.

[oathshackledbird]

Too late.

[Diarmuid laughs, though he is still worried about what Waver is covering up for...because it does feel like he is covering something up.]

But I do appreciate your concern.

[velveteenmage]

I-I'm not concerned! I'm not concerned about you at all! Don't get the wrong idea, I just don't want you making an idiot of yourself!

[oathshackledbird]

It's too late on that too, but again the concern that is certainly not actually concern is appreciated...

[velveteenmage]

Hmph. Is it just in your nature to make things difficult for me?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

Think of it less as making things difficult and more making them interesting...

[velveteenmage]

No, the word for what you're doing is definitely, absolutely 'difficult'!

[oathshackledbird]

So...you fear challenges?

[Diarmuid raises an eyebrow at him.]

Is that what I am hearing?

[velveteenmage]

I-I didn't...say that...!

[But he didn't look thrilled about the idea, either.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid's smiles softens. Reading between the lines? Never...]

Don't worry. You're still young. Just don't give up on yourself.

[velveteenmage]

What are you even on about? Nothing you say even approaches making sense, Lancer.
