What insanity has possessed you that makes you think he wants to hear about a different version of himself? A version he. Can. NEVER. Be!
[Diarmuid gestures angrily, almost tipping a nearby picture off its stand.]
Do you have any idea how much pressure that puts on someone? Especially after what happened with Rusty?
[He turns from her in disgust, taking a few steps away so that he can calm himself and refocus. While Reno has only vaguely hinted at the pressure that knowing of that other version has placed on him, Diarmuid hadn't actually needed to hear the man's words to understand.
For how long had his own greatest fear been that Waver's Diarmuid would show up in the Tower and take his place?
He runs a frustrated hand through his hair. How is it that Elena and Reno have ended up on such different pages? Is it really worth it to try and save...
Diarmuid shakes his head. No, he doesn't give up on things, and he won't give up on this. Not when it was their wedding that gave him the courage back then to consider he too might be able to find love in this place.]
Go with him to the ballroom floor and talk. If you trust him as much as you say, go. You cannot hide there. He cannot hide there. Ask your questions and let him ask his. It's time you two stopped dancing around each other and the real issues. The Tower issues. Not issues from your home world. Not issues from his. Issues from the world that you share here.
