Quiet Contemplation

[robbedsanity]

[Text; Morning]
Prospero, allow me to ask you a question this fine morning:

...Do you believe you deserve the loyalty that others has sworn before you?

[Action;Afternoon]

[To some, you might find this guy just sitting around on the bench somewhere in the park, just chilling and taking an afternoon tea break.

...Also looking a bit gloomy. But in any case he's just taking a sip from the paper cup he is holding.]

I don't know. I likely do not deserve it, but I can not dissuade others from choosing who they place their trust and loyalty in.

[robbedsanity]

...it seems we have the same thought, then.

[croibhristeoir]

What is it that makes you think you're unworthy of it, if I could ask?

[robbedsanity]

Before I begin, are you familiar with King Arthur's lore?

[text/private]

[croibhristeoir]

Familiar enough, yes.

Then perhaps you might have heard of a knight called Lancelot.

[croibhristeoir]

[A pause.]

I know that tale quite well--it's a little similar to my own.

Then would you believe that Lancelot is the very Berserker in the 4th War?

[text/private]

[croibhristeoir]

...well, that certainly explains quite a bit.

[robbedsanity]

Then at the very least, you would probably guess why I chose to take the Mad Enhancement during the War.

[croibhristeoir]

I think I could begin to understand that, yes.

Nevertheless, she would be better off without me.

[He couldn't bear seeing her hurt face again.]

Diarmuid, yes? I thank you for taking care of her when the others couldn't.

[text/private]

[croibhristeoir]

I think I know how that feels.

It's nothing. I was her left hand in Fuyuki and would gladly fight for and alongside her now. I care for her--likely more than I should--and my only wish is to see her happy.
