Ken... [Diarmuid doesn't know what to say. These are all things he has told himself, but one thing that hasn't changed about him is that it is easier for him to hear and believe these thing from others. To hear them from Ken is almost overwhelming.
He holds the coat to himself tightly as if he has been given something most precious. After a few moments, though, it isn't enough and he moves to hug Ken once more. Ken's tears aren't missed and that makes it easier for Diarmuid to not hide his own.]
This is only for a little while. Never forget that.
[Silence falls after that for a few moments and then Diarmuid nods to himself as he makes a decision. The coat is shifted carefully to one arm and then Diarmuid pulls the copy of Gae Buidhe he got here from his back and holds it out to Ken.]
My father gave the original version of this spear to me when I was old enough to go out and fight on my own. Now, I will give this version of it to you. Will you accept it and the responsibility having such a powerful weapon entails?
