For Diarmuid [Closed]

[swordofzero]

Characters: Suzaku and Lancer (Diarmuid)
Setting: Gymnasium
Format: Um any
Summary: After February and all it entailed two angsty knights meet again
Warnings: Angst, talk of event stuff, probably death seeking and self destruction talk knowing these two

Suzaku had had a few sleepless nights. Between dealing with everything that had happened, angry roommates and an insane emperor he was exhausted but sleep seemed like a hundred miles away and it was always easier to go out, cutting down monsters until he felt like he was doing some good, rather than lying awake and letting the past, and the present, haunt him.

He had been training hard, in between working and keeping an eye on those he had promised to watch out for. And so despite his worries that something odd was happening in the tower, floors cut off... perhaps another game... He was in the gymnasium going through forms, losing himself in the rhythm, trying to forget everything.

A grim look crosses Diarmuid's face, "Have they caused you any problems so far or have they remained quiet?" While he might not care for Suzaku's friend, Diarmuid knows that anything that might happen to him would greatly affect Suzaku who he does care about, "Is there perhaps something I could do to help prevent anything from happening?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku shook his head, "Not anything we can't handle. I'm not sure how many they have told though." He shook his head, there really wasn't anything that could be done, the most he could hope for was that he himself did nothing to provoke Jin any further.

Diarmuid nods. He doesn't like the answer, but especially with how Suzaku's friend's power scares him, it might be for the best.

"You know best, of course. Just remember I am here for you if you need my help. It was good sparring with you again. We should do this more often. Not just when we are both upset because of the tower's tricks."

"We should, one day I might even land a hit." It was good practicing with someone so far beyond his power.

[oathshackledbird]

"Indeed!" Diarmuid laughs. "I expect if we do this dance long enough you will eventually get good enough to catch me. It is hard not to improve over time when you are actually trying to."

[swordofzero]

"Well I will look forward to that day." Suzaku nodded at him politely.

[oathshackledbird]

"Until then, please take care of yourself. I will see you again soon," he gives Suzaku a smile and then disappears out of the room.

[swordofzero]

"You too, please stay safe." Suzaku nodded again as he left.
