[When Gilgamesh's lips pass over Diarmuid's forehead, he can't help but sigh happily and close his eyes. The moment is so peaceful, so perfect. It is not often in this land of war that he gets to feel this way. There is always something more to be done. Something else to accomplish to ensure survival...
His eyes flutter open when Gilgamesh pulls away. He opens his mouth to complain, but when he catches that look in Gilgamesh's eyes, he close his mouth and remains silent instead, following along as the king moves forward. Deep down, there is part of Diarmuid that realizes he is being courted and he is excited beyond words. This, he never got before. Not with how he ended up with Grainne. Diarmuid still isn't sure if he deserves this attention, but he will not question the choices of his king.]
You claimed me before and that claim has not lessened with time. However, you may claim me as often as you wish. I am honored to take up this challenge.
[Diarmuid's expression becomes one of awe as he watches Gilgamesh summon Ea again. The blade sings even louder than it did before and it is hard to do anything else other than stand there and listen. Still, after a few moments, Diarmuid summons Gae Dearg to his hand. He knows there is no way he can defeat Gilgamesh. He knows there is no way he can defeat that blade, but still, he will face them both and he will fight as hard as he can. Dying at the hand of such a king or such a weapon is no dishonor. In fact, it is just the opposite.
He falls into a ready battle position and grins widely at the golden king and the grandest sword to ever exist.]
Let the test begin. I will not let you down. Not with the honor above honors that you have given to me.
