When we retire to Ireland after all this is done, you can teach classes. How's that?

[Diarmuid laughs, pulling out a couple of books and then handing them to Waver to look over.]

I can be you mid-term surprise. See if we can fool them for a bit into thinking I am who I say I am, before revealing I'm just your assistant.

[Who also happens to really be Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, but details...]

[fionnuisce]

[Waver smiled slightly, flipping through the pages as he answered.]

And miss out on the social upheaval I've spent years setting in motion? No, I think I'll probably be a mage for the rest of my life, much as I hate to admit it.

[oathshackledbird]

Aw...and here I was looking forward to being your dashing and mysterious assistant...

[fionnuisce]

...You're already my 'dashing and mysterious assistant'.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid is quiet a moment and then laughs.]

You are right. I guess always thought of myself more as the 'fan club wrangler...'

[fionnuisce]

I'm absolutely certain that would be in the job description if there was one.

[oathshackledbird]

Yeah, I kind of have a lot of things I do, don't I? Not that I mind...

[Diarmuid's voice drops off and the only sound for a moment is him rummaging around. Then there is a soft, 'ah ha' as he pulls something free and holds it out to Waver.]

What the heck is this thing for?

[fionnuisce]

That's an alcohol lamp--so pretty much exactly what it sounds like, it's a heat source.

[oathshackledbird]

Seems like a waste of good alcohol.

[Diarmuid turns the lamp this way and that to get a better look at it.]

I guess no genie or wishes for us.

[fionnuisce]

You can't drink straight ethanol, so it's not really a waste so much as it is repurposed for a fuel source.

And what do we even need a wish for at this point?

[oathshackledbird]

Oh...

[Wrong kind of alcohol. Be more specific next time, Waver. Your partner is an Irishman.

Diarmuid sets the lamp off to the side somehow managing to kick up a dust cloud in the process. As he fans it away, he mutters.]

How about a way to avoid death via dust inhalation?

[fionnuisce]

Defeated by a cloud of dust, really? I'm almost disappointed.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid raises an eyebrow at him.]

If you don't want to be disappointed, maybe you should come and save me from my humiliating demise. We are partners, after all...

[fionnuisce]

You poor thing. [Waver reached out to take Diarmuid's wrist and pull him a little closer.] Let me whisk you two feet away where it can't hurt you.

[oathshackledbird]

Yay! My prince saved me!

[Diarmuid lets himself be pulled closer, his head dropping against Waver's shoulder for a moment.]

My wish came true!

[fionnuisce]

I don't think a prince and a lord are quite the same, but I'll let the terminology slide for now.

[Especially when he had a much more important obligation to run his hand through Diarmuid's hair.]

[oathshackledbird]

I like the term 'partner' better anyway.

[Diarmuid's voice is soft and he lets out a sigh of contentment when Waver starts running his fingers through his hair.]

Is there any kind of magic you haven't studied or at least looked into?

[fionnuisce]

Hm...I don't know. There's a lot I've at least read about in passing if nothing else. Why do you ask?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid shrugs slightly, grinning into Waver's shoulder.]

Maybe I am looking for present ideas...

[fionnuisce]

...Huh? Wait, what's brought this on?

[oathshackledbird]

Nothing...

[So innocent sounding. Except not.]

[fionnuisce]

Oh, don't start that. I know that tone, what are you up to?

[oathshackledbird]

Am I not allowed to get you a gift just because I feel like it sometimes?

[He laughs softly.]

Besides, you saved me. I should reward you...

[fionnuisce]

Hmph. I didn't do any of that looking for a reward, you know.

[oathshackledbird]

Well, I was referring to just now, but...

[Diarmuid shrugs.]

It's a good thing you aren't expecting a reward, to be honest. I'm not quite sure how I will ever repay you for all of that other stuff, though, I have to admit sometimes it's fun thinking about what I could do.
