Well, if I don't know them either, there's no way he can blame me for not telling him.

[...MAN, NOW HE WANTS TO KNOW...]

That seems like the best thing, anyway --- it's the baseline of what we all ought to know when we first get here.

[oathshackledbird]

Yes, I believe it's called 'plausible deniability' these days.

[Be patient, young magus. Soon you too will have secrets to keep...]

I realize on one hand we are offering to make him stronger, but on the other, perhaps learning how to master his shard will distract him from other things for a while.

[enjoymyatelier]

Perhaps in the meantime someone will take him down a peg or two and he'll behave himself.

...

No, he'll probably just get worse, won't he...

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid starts to agree that, yes, that would probably be the outcome, but then a bit of Grail given information crosses his mind.]

I am actually not sure on that. My gut says, yes, but if you recall his legend, there was once one who was able to leash him without causing him to grow worse. In fact, he was created by the gods just for that job.

If it happened once, perhaps with all those who are brought to this place, it could happen again.

[enjoymyatelier]

...mn, that is true. Still, it's not terribly pleasant that we have to count on that, though, and who even knows when it's going to happen, if at all...

[oathshackledbird]

I think the best we can do is hope that luck swings in our favor this time.

[Right...]

I thank you for warning me about him, though. At least I will be able to keep my eyes open this way and it is less likely he will catch me by surprise.

[enjoymyatelier]

Indeed... which may happen, but we really ought to find some contingency plan.

I don't know if he'd have any more respect for you as a Heroic Spirit, but it's worth keeping on your toes all the same.

[oathshackledbird]

It is hard to say. I don't know if he even noticed me that night...

[Still, maybe that will work to their favor. If Gilgamesh hadn't noticed him, then he can't have a negative opinion of him. It will make talking to him...a little easier.]

Let me think on things for a while. If I think of anything, I will let you know.

[enjoymyatelier]

Possibly not... it was fairly obvious that his attention had been diverted to other individuals in that instance.

Well, if you do come up with something, I'll thank you in advance.

[oathshackledbird]

And if you think of anything, please let me know. Until then, watch yourself, all right?

[Diarmuid bows his head slightly.]

Until we speak again.
