[It's late, and judging by the half a glass of who knows what by his hand, someone's been drinking. Apparently not enough to do anything stupid, as he just seems to be sitting in his hotel room looking thoughtful.]

I have noticed many of us here seem to have nothing but time. Which for some is a luxury we can hardly find in our own worlds.

[He sounds sober enough, at least. Carefully choosing his words and thinking over what he wanted to say, Diarmuid leaned his head on his hand and continued.]

As for myself, I've had the time to consider a great many things...as events have proven difficult, the most pressing of these would be the presence of someone I hate. There is someone in this city whose mere presence angers me, who I could never forgive and have no wish to try. But upon reflecting on such a subject, I have arrived at a realization.

As much as I hate him...I think I pity him even more. [He sighed, taking a drink from the glass beside him before continuing.]

Upon considering it, I've realized this is someone who may never understand the simple joy that a knight experiences upon helping another. Someone who meets the concept of selflessness with suspicion and derision rather than understand one who is content with placing others first. Even though I can never forgive him, and even though the mere thought of him puts me on edge...my heart truly aches to know any one individual could truly live in such a way.

And if he should be listening...then I am sorry. I'm sorry that I could not finish what was started, and I'm...sorry I punched you. That may have been unfair of me.

More than anything, I am truly sorry that I could not lead you to understand the heart of a knight. And I wish only that someday...you could begin to comprehend it.

Truthfully, I would not be entirely shocked if the Morrígan herself turned out to be somehow involved. She was one of the most well-known deities in my time, not to mention she...was not exactly famed for her kindness and mercy.

Then you're more knowledgeable on the subject than I. My mentor discouraged reading most forms of fiction, mythology included. ...Er, no offense.

None taken, don't worry. I'm sure even the mythology is a bit lacking in places these days.

Personally, I know very little of her past the usual rumors and tales. You would have to ask Cu Chulainn for details, if you think investigating her would be a good idea--he's encountered her in the past.

I believe others would be better-suited to an investigation of that sort. I wish to learn more about Prospero's history instead, as it seems rather vague in places, much of what is known is suspicious, and it's already known that the ex-Senator is connected to its founding.

That is probably a better idea, yes--you would likely be far more suited to gathering information on a location such as this. Much as I've tried to compensate for my own lack of knowledge, I still can't say I'm quite familiar with much of this world or how it's meant to work.

Not to mention that several people are already poised to begin investigation of the church itself.

True, yes. Ultimately, I'm confident all aspects of an investigation are in perfectly competent hands.
