Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Lancer)

Work on becoming ambidextrous then. Why limit yourself to one hand?

[Diarmuid smirks and shifts his left-handed blade so that is rests lightly against Reno's wrist.]

That wouldn't do much to a servant. Meanwhile, I have your hand if not your life. Still, you did good. Really good.

[He steps back and then sheathes his swords, reaching out to help the man up.]

Initiation rite? Hmm...

I live in a world full of right-handed people, Dee. I've tried.

[Reno shrugs, taking his hand and popping up to his feet easily, still a little heated from the exercise.]

Don't get me wrong, this isn't just a baton... if I had the right materia, it'd have been charged up and given ya a nasty shock.

Do you want me to try and help you learn, or are you just unable to do it?

[He has known people like that. It's not their fault or because of lack of effort. They just cannot do it.]

A shock is good against humans, Reno, but it would hardly phase a Servant. Besides, it is magical at its source and all of us have some kind of magical resistance. You would need to overcome that first before it would even tickle.

Now, as for that initiation rite...

[Diarmuid pulls the red head forward by the hand he is still holding onto and then flicks him in the forehead softly.]

Welcome to the family, idiot.

[And, yes, that would be a hug. Don't fight. It will be over soon.]

[All Diarmuid gets is small noise of mock disgust, and a resigned sigh.]

Idiot, huh. Seems like I fit in after all...

[Diarmuid laughs, holding on a moment longer before letting the red head go.]

There are worse groups to belong to, you know. Besides, this group isn't so bad. We have Waver...

[He falls quiet and then ducks his head.]

Of course, I'm biased...
