[Diarmuid returns the hug and then shrugs.]

None of us deserve to have to go through this and what you guys faced was much worse.

It was Reno's. When I was looking for it, I remembered his wedding was in the meadow and I thought maybe... Fate was kind enough that it was actually there.

[puppy_lancer]

And he turned back to normal after that, right? Is everybody normal now?

[oathshackledbird]

Yeah, thankfully even those whose hearts weren't found returned to normal after just a few days. Before things got really bad in the Labyrinth, actually.

It makes me wonder if it was all a distraction or something...

[But then again, that note about Ruana's heart makes him wonder if there was a purpose they just can't see...]

[puppy_lancer]

Maybe it was. Or maybe it was Ruana's way to do Valentine's Day. She does like holidays.

[oathshackledbird]

Yeah, I can't argue that.

[He does remember last Valentine's Day...]

So where you heading off to?

[Change of topic, go!]

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, nowhere in particular. I just wanted to give Liath Macha a run.

[He looks over to his horse, who is looking at him with impatient eyes.]

I should thank you for taking care of her the last few days, shouldn't I?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives a dismissive shrug.]

Don't worry about it. It was the least I could do. I am just glad she seems to have lost interest in trying to eat me. I cannot say that would have continued had I not fed her, though...

[puppy_lancer]

If she hasn't been trying to bite you while you were feeding her, she must like you. That was how Laeg started out, you know. He fed her until she liked him.

[oathshackledbird]

The quickest way to an animal's heart is through the stomach, just so long as you don't end in up in their stomach at the same time...

[Diarmuid laughs and then motions toward the door.]

If you are okay, I probably shouldn't keep you. I think I will stay here a little while longer to see if Ryoji comes back. I should think of some way to celebrate Waver's year anniversary in the Tower, though with what just happened...

[It's hard to think of fun things after something like that.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He shakes his head.]

You should come with me, Brother. Mac An Chuill might need to stretch his legs as well. And you can't keep yourself cooped in our room.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid gives his brother a grateful look, but then shakes his head no.]

Thank you...but I really need to stay. If you want to take Mac an Chuill with you, I would appreciate it and I am sure he will too.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer nods and beckons toward Mac an Chuill toward him.]

Then I'll be back in a little while.

[oathshackledbird]

[The hound looks to Diarmuid and when his owner gives him the okay, trots over to Cu Chulainn's side.]

Don't get into any trouble while you're gone and, hopefully, once you get back Ryoji will be here too. Then, we can scold him together.

I guess we're at an end?

[puppy_lancer]

I will. I already promised you, didn't I?

[Holding Liath Macha's reins and gesturing for Mac An Chuill to follow, he heads out the door.]

Sounds good to me!

[oathshackledbird]

Well, there is getting in trouble and getting in trouble.

[Diarmuid laughs softly as his brother heads to the door.]

One is okay and one isn't. Have fun, brother.
