You are welcome. I am confident this will make you stronger in the end and better able to take care of those who you care about.

[Diarmuid smiles at Shion.]

That is the important thing, isn't it? Being strong enough ourselves to take care of those we care about?

[savedbyasong]

[Shion nodded, being able to take care of those he cared about and not being a burden on them, that was why he was doing this] Thank you, I hope to be a good student.

[oathshackledbird]

I have every confidence you will be.

[Diarmuid nods out toward the party.]

However, this is a party and we shouldn't be talking of such serious things. There will be plenty of time for that later.

[savedbyasong]

[He smiled and then it brightened and he nodded] Yes! Have you see Xion yet? [He knows they didn't get off to the best start, but also that things were better with them now.]

[oathshackledbird]

I did. She was the first one I found when I arrived.

[Diarmuid laughs, suddenly looking a little sheepish.]

I gave her some rather odd cookies as a gift. I know it isn't much, but I don't know her that well yet, and I didn't want to arrive empty handed.

[savedbyasong]

[Shion grinned] I am sure she will like them [Once she stops being embarrassed forever] It was nice of you to come [He was really glad that so many people had come to his little sisters birthday, proudest big brother.]

[oathshackledbird]

I am honored that you decided to include me in your celebration.

[He motions out toward the crowd.]

The Tower needs as many of these happy events as we can get in, especially as we draw closer to the end. We have to remind ourselves what we fight for and also remember to stop and enjoy those things we are fighting for.

[savedbyasong]

[Shion nodded] It is important. I know we need to learn and fight and survive, but if we do too much surviving and not enough living... [Well he had been brought up in a place devoid of many human connections and celebrations. He didn't want to live like that any more.]

[oathshackledbird]

That is exactly correct.

[Diarmuid gives Shion a proud look.]

And sadly, in a situation like we are in, it is far too easy for people to forget that.

[savedbyasong]

[He blushes at that proud look] It is, that's why celebrations are important. To help us remember.

[oathshackledbird]

[The blush makes Diarmuid laugh softly.]

Right again and speaking of celebrations, I do not wish to keep you from enjoying this one. If there are others you would like to greet, feel free. I will be here for a while. We can talk more later.

[savedbyasong]

Okay, I'll speak to you later. [He smiles again and gives a small wave]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid returns the wave.]

Have fun or else I will have to lecture you the next time we talk.

[savedbyasong]

I will. You have fun too!
