I understand. [Diarmuid almost says 'thank you' again, but stops himself. Saying it once has already brought the sadness back into the air--a sadness he did not expect or want. He doesn't want to make things worse. Understanding, that is better anyway. Again, the things they cannot or will not say hover around them communicating themselves in other ways. Like by touch, for example. Eager to bring a smile back to his beloved king's lips, Diarmuid reaches down for one of his hands and brings it to his lips, pressing a kiss against it.]
We are so near the hot springs that it will be a shame if we do not return. What do you say? Shall we end this day by basking in the warmth of the springs and the memories we have there?
[Maybe they can even make some new memories while they are there. It would be so much better than lingering in this sad place full of uneasiness.]
