There is no way THAT fit in your trunk...
Characters: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (oathshackledbird ) and you!
Setting: Room 4-16 (Closed prompt for Cu Chulainn,puppy_lancer ) on the 25th, and anywhere in the Tower for the rest of the week.
Format:: Starting in prose, pick whatever you want after!
Summary: Cu Chulainn asked Zo for a gift for Diarmuid and was granted it. Now, he gets to give an old friend to his brother and maybe it will help mend the gap that has been between them ever since the fight with Sephiorth. Afterward, Diarmuid spends the week focusing on teaching Mac an Chuill the floors and dangers of the Tower.
Warnings: None at the moment, will update if needed!
Note: While Diarmuid will be focusing on training and getting the hound accustomed to being in the Tower, there will be plenty of time to sparring, monster hunting, and talking for anyone who runs into him.
Room 4-16, Nov 25th (Closed to Cu Chulainn):
Diarmuid frowns as he makes his way back to his room after a visit to the carnival. His brother had asked him to come and while they were slowly starting to act a little more normal around each other, Diarmuid is still uneasy. The loud noises coming from the room as he approaches don't help him feel any better about this meeting.
He pauses at the door to the room, before finally opening it only to see his brother fighting with a very large...dog?
His eyes grow wide as the dog, sensing his owner, wiggles away from Cu Chulainn and runs full speed at him. Before Diarmuid even has time to think about it, a sharp command in Ancient Gaelic bursts from his mouth. The dog comes to a stop so quickly he skids, dropping to sit near Diarmuid's feet. This causes Diarmuid to smile and he bends down to pat the dog on the head, muttering several soft words of praise before standing again and looking toward his brother.
"Brother? What is Mac an Chuill doing here?"
All over the Tower, Nov 25th to Nov 30th (Open):
Irish Wolfhounds have hunted and worked alongside their humans for a very long time. Mac an Chuill is an ancestor of those dogs, his line having done those things alongside Diarmuid's family for a very long time. In fact, the hound's sire had been one of the things Diarmuid reclaimed when he and Grainne were finally able to stop running and settle down. He had raised Mac an Chuill from a puppy and trained the dog as well.
However brave and loyal the hound is, though, the things he is facing in the Tower are much different than the things he faced in the woods of Ireland. While Diarmuid never held it against the hound for fleeing when the boar charged him--after all a curse was in play then--fleeing from a monster here in the Tower would likely get one or both of them killed.
That is why Diarmuid will be spending most of this week with the hound at his side, familiarizing him to the Tower and its many dangers. It will not be unusual to see him training the dog by fighting monsters, or showing him around the different floors. Always, the hound will be near him even though he is unleashed. Irish Wolfhounds are known for their loyalty and intelligence. Mac an Chuill is no exception and that is very clear in his eyes and manner. He is taking this just as seriously as Diarmuid is.
At the beginning of the week, Diarmuid will be around all floors, but after the 29th, he suddenly starts avoiding floors where powers are nullified. He will also seem more tense and uneasy than usual. Perhaps a spar or two will help work out that nervous energy? Or maybe a conversation will help get his mind off everything that has been going on?

[Though, for them playing is really more like hunting monsters, but it's close enough in this case. Especially since they both enjoy it.]
I don't think riding him would be a good idea, since he isn't trained to be ridden. However, my shoulders are always available for riding. All you need to do is ask.
no subject
Oh, okay then! That's good! But can I play with him too? And ride on your sh..shoulders later?!
no subject
[Diarmuid pets the dog on the head, giving him a fond look before looking at Yotsuba.]
He is not used to playing like the dogs you are more familiar with are.
no subject
So he can help you fight the monsters and the bad people, since he's a good doggy!
no subject
That is right. To be honest, that is the kind of thing he was trained for. Though, he doesn't much like pigs or boars. Neither do I for that matter. I guess he and I have that in common.
[Something of a dark joke in reference to his past that she won't understand, but it is for the best.]
no subject
Why don't you like them?! They're nice animals!
no subject
[Diarmuid shrugs. He really doesn't want to talk about it and so, he isn't going to explain any farther than that.]
Surely, there are some animals you don't like.
no subject
Birdies with huuge eyes are scary! And I don't like monsters either!
no subject
See? That is exactly how I feel about pigs and boars. We all have things we just don't like. It is just how we are. My brother doesn't like crows and ravens if you want another example.
no subject
[And petting was still continuing.]
no subject
[Diarmuid reaches down to give Mac an Chuill some ear scratches.]
What do you think?
no subject
[Yotsuba, of course, wasn't thinking about taking a nap right now.]
no subject
[Diarmuid laughs and Mac an Chuill yips happily.]
I think he agrees which makes the decision unanimous.
[Oh, like she is even going to know what that word means...]
no subject
Okay then!~ Let's go eat, doggy! Can I ride on your shoulders, Dia?
[As she spoke, she would try to tug on Diarmuid's leg, hoping for a yes.]
Thread end?
[Diarmuid sweeps the girl up into his arms and then onto her favorite spot on his shoulders.]
Lets get some food!
Sure! ^^
Roger!~ Full speed ahead, Dia!~ You come too, doggy!
