[oathshackledbird]

Well, that is good to know. I really wasn't looking forward to having to pick up my hero from the morgue...

I appreciate the promise, but you don't need to worry about not telling anyone who I am. Ever since I decided to open the school, I haven't exactly been hiding my identity. I can't expect people to trust me to teach them if they don't know who I am.

[puppy_lancer]

well, that's your choice

and don't get overwhelmed now that you know who i am
we're already friends, remember?

[oathshackledbird]

Why would I do that?

[It's not like Cu Chulainn is his hero or anything. He's...friends with his hero. How neat is that?]

Oh...I must have sounded so silly all those times I was talking about him...err...you.

[There's the embarrassment. Right on cue...]

[puppy_lancer]

you didn't
in fact, i was happy listening to you say those things
because i'm proud that i was good enough of a hero to be admired by a knight like you
thanks

[oathshackledbird]

I...

[No, he had to have read that wrong.]

Do you really mean that?

[puppy_lancer]

of course i do
after all, you're a pretty admirable knight

[oathshackledbird]

[He thinks I'm admirable...]

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

[puppy_lancer]

[He has to snicker to himself at the thought of what Diarmuid's face must be like right now.]

it's only the truth
and you know what's better than being your hero?
being your friend

[oathshackledbird]

[The reply to that message will be delayed as it takes Diarmuid a while to get his brain working again enough to actually put words together.]

It is the greatest honor I will ever have to call you friend as well.

[puppy_lancer]

even more than getting the Holy Grail?

[By now, he's just teasing.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Joke or not, Diarmuid answers honestly.]

Since I only seek the Grail because my Lord wants it, I might actually be able to answer that yes...

[puppy_lancer]

fair enough
i don't have anything i want the grail for either
i only want it for my Master
and so i can fight against all the other Servants

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid can understand that. The fighting has proven to be better than he expect so far...]

I cannot wait to continue my duel with Saber.

[puppy_lancer]

why not continue it here?
you've got all the time in the world to do so

[oathshackledbird]

Actually, we already have and the duel ended up in a draw.

[Diarmuid laughs to himself.]

I have a feeling we will be dueling again sometime soon, though. Why not? As you say, we have plenty of time.

[puppy_lancer]

tell me where and when it's gonna be
i wanna watch

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid can't say he's surprised at the request. Especially now that he knows who his friend really is.]

Well, considering the crowd the first duel gathered, I am sure you won't have trouble finding us, but I will be certain to let you know.

[puppy_lancer]

thanks

oh yeah by the way you still owe me some time hanging out and having fun
any idea what we could do?

[oathshackledbird]

That depends. Does this 'fun' have to involve going out and picking up girls or can it be something else?

[puppy_lancer]

it can be anything
something you enjoy

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid thinks for a while before something pops into his head.]

I haven't been out to do any exploring in the forest or anything like that lately. Maybe we could go out sometime soon?

[puppy_lancer]

sure
i'm up for it

[oathshackledbird]

Maybe we can go once I finally get the school officially opened? I want to do that soon. Maybe in a month or so.

[puppy_lancer]

alright
i thought you already had students, though

[oathshackledbird]

Oh, I do! But they are mostly people I know well. This would be letting everyone in the city know the school is open for their use.
