Your capacity to learn evil from me will not go unappreciated.

[oathshackledbird]

Good, I expect you to put my evil skills to good use soon.

[A contented sigh slips from his mouth.]

Can we just have the maid show us the things she finds? Then, we can just stay like this.

[fionnuisce]

Or we could just give up on the cleaning for now in favor of something more entertaining, if you like.

[oathshackledbird]

Oh, I like the idea of entertaining.

[Diarmuid gives up his Waver-pillow in favor of giving his partner a curious look.]

What does my most Evil Overlord have in mind?

[fionnuisce]

I think I'll let the overlord-in-training decide. What do you think?

[oathshackledbird]

Me? I'm so honored to be given such an important responsibility. What should we do...

[Diarmuid falls quiet for several moments thinking on the question. Finally, an answer hits him.]

Why don't we build a tree house?

[Well...that came out of left field. Where the heck does he think they will find a tree to build that tree house in exactly?]

[fionnuisce]

...Hold on, what.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives Waver a disbelieving look.]

Do you really expect me to believe you don't know what a tree house is?

[fionnuisce]

Of course I do, but do you really think that's remotely plausible?

Because it isn't.

[oathshackledbird]

Why not? Is it a matter of finding the right tree? Surely, there must be one somewhere...

[Hope springs eternal in this one.]

[fionnuisce]

Diarmuid, I think that extremely unlikely, not to mention conspicuous if we did manage such a thing.

[oathshackledbird]

Really?

[His expression saddens slightly.]

That's too bad. I told Romeo that when we got home, I was going to see about spending time living in the trees again since I enjoyed it so much before. I guess I didn't think it would be harder to do in the modern world...

[fionnuisce]

...W-we'll figure something out!

[Waver almost instantly switched to that tone he often adopted when incredibly mundane things were suddenly of absolute importance for some reason.]

I'm sure...at some point we'll be able to live wherever we bloody well please, won't we?

[oathshackledbird]

[A gentle look fills Diarmuid's eyes. He leans forward and presses a kiss to Waver's forehead.]

Thank you, Mo Stór. I am sure we will. It will be our retirement home.

[He laughs.]

And I can carry you up if you are too old to climb up yourself...

[fionnuisce]

...hmph.

[Waver tried to shrug his own reaction off as nothing, frowning.]

You're still alright with that? I mean--...no, forget it.

[oathshackledbird]

You know I am.

[Diarmuid softly answers the question even though Waver doesn't finish it.]

I am always going to be here for you and when we leave this place, we will leave together.

[fionnuisce]

...I'm not going to live forever, Diarmuid.

[oathshackledbird]

I know you won't. That's fine. When you go, I will go with you. I will have no reason to stay in the world any longer once you are gone.

[Diarmuid looks uncertain for a moment.]

I mean, I guess unless you had a reason you wanted me to stay...

[But it's obvious from the look of pain that thought brings him, it would be very hard for him to continue alone.]

[fionnuisce]

That's not my choice to make. Surely you know that.

[oathshackledbird]

I know this too. It's just... I would want to go with you. Is that selfish of me? Even if there was something still to be done? Someone else could do it, right?

[fionnuisce]

I never expected social upheaval would be accomplished in my lifetime. If that ends up left unfinished, it's fine with me.

As far as this goes, all that matters to me is that you're alright with the fact that I'm going to get older and die if the war doesn't kill me first.

[oathshackledbird]

I am.

[His voice is sure, even if it is soft.]

It's the natural order of things. I am just glad that I have the chance to be with you now--however long that lasts for.

[fionnuisce]

If you're fine with it, that's all I need to know.

[oathshackledbird]

If you ever need me to reaffirm that, don't be afraid to ask, okay?

[Diarmuid reaches out to gently run his fingers over Waver's cheek.]

The answer isn't going to change.

[fionnuisce]

I know it won't. You're too honest for that.
