You certainly are. It's much easier to be a good teacher when you have so much potential to work with.

[Diarmuid winks at Waver and then leans in to steal a kiss of his own.]

[fionnuisce]

If there's one thing I appreciate, it's talent.

[He wrapped his arms around Diarmuid's shoulders in response, clearly not minding the stolen kiss all that much.]

[oathshackledbird]

[When the kiss ends, Diarmuid rests his forehead against Waver's.]

So remember that the next time you doubt yourself, because you are talented. Very talented.

[fionnuisce]

And your best talent right now seems to lie in flattery.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid rolls his eyes. How often have they had this conversation? It's almost tradition now, which is why he laughs and just shakes his head.]

It's not flattery, but I don't feel like having that conversation again. How about giving me an early birthday present and just accepting it?

[fionnuisce]

Ah--that's right, it's nearly April. I hope we'll have time enough to at least spare some attention to it.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

I doubt we will and it's okay. Saving all of us so that we can celebrate more birthdays later is more important than celebrating this one now.

[fionnuisce]

If we live through all of this, then I'll make it up to you next year.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gently taps Waver on the nose.]

No 'if.' When. I fully expect you to keep that promise. I want a good celebration next year.

[fionnuisce]

Anything you say. I'll gladly give you anything you could possibly ask for.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid leans in to lightly kiss Waver on the nose.]

I know you will. Why do you think I will be looking forward to it?

[fionnuisce]

I'll have to make sure to live up to your expectations.

[oathshackledbird]

I'm not worried. You always do.

[fionnuisce]

You terrible, terrible flatterer.

[Waver shook his head, leaning against Diarmuid with a slight smile.]

[oathshackledbird]

Hmm...

[Diarmuid wraps his arms back around Waver.]

You know, I think I prefer 'Idiot' to 'Flatterer.' Just saying...

[fionnuisce]

Very well, idiot. If that's what you prefer, who am I to argue?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid frowns slightly, though there is good humor in his eyes.]

You know you didn't have to agree quite so quickly...

[fionnuisce]

Fate forbid I argue with you, right?

[oathshackledbird]

If you don't argue with me now and then I am going to start worrying about your health...

[fionnuisce]

Hm...another time when I've the energy to spare, I think. I'll be sure to pick a fight with you over something else.

[oathshackledbird]

Well...as much as I hate to wait, I guess I will just have to do that.

[Diarmuid laughs, resting his head again Waver's.]

We are both such idiots...

[fionnuisce]

We are. I suppose that makes us an even better match, don't you agree?

[oathshackledbird]

I would say it makes us even more perfect for each other, and if I can only have one perfect thing in my life, I am quite happy with it being this.

[Diarmuid pauses suddenly, unease filling his eyes.]

Is...it really okay for me to let her go like this? She needs so much help, but all I do just makes things worse. Maybe if we had met differently... Maybe if I hadn't been sick...

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

Sorry, I'm doing it again. It's just...so much of my time here has been dedicated to getting stronger and to learning to stand on my own next to someone--next to you--instead of behind. I...don't think she likes that. It might sound weird, but I think she needed me to need her to prove something about our love had been true. She acted so differently toward me when I was sick...

But, I don't need her now. Not like she wants me to need her...

[fionnuisce]

...I'm not going to tell you what the right choice here is, mostly because I don't know. And I certainly can't read her mind to tell you what kind of things she might be thinking. All of this is something only you can decide for yourself--deciding who you love and what you want to do about it isn't any of my business.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shakes his head, laughing sadly. He then pulls Waver close, burying his head against the magus' shoulder.]

Of course it's your business. You're the one I love. Everything that is my business is yours too. But, I take back the question. It isn't a fair one to ask you, especially when I have made my choice. I just am looking for someone to tell me it was the right one for sure. That's not how the world works...
