[action; locked to Saber]

[She was alive. She was alive, she was alive, and while not everything had followed his plan perfectly, she was alive and that was all Diarmuid cared about as the result of it. That was the best he could have hoped for, and now she was on her way to his hotel room--it was probably lucky Grainne wasn't around. He had already had a hell of a time explaining why he had come home bruised, bloody, and with at least two cracked ribs.]

[Whatever. Didn't matter. So what if moving caused him agonizing pain, she hadn't asked him to move. He needed to stay exactly where he was and wait, as he had promised he would. Just a few minutes more and all of this would have been made worthwhile as soon as he saw her face.]

[video]

[Much later, Diarmuid finally made a video post; probably less than a good idea, because then everyone could see how scratched up, bruised, and bandaged his fight with Maiya had left him. But despite all that, he seemed...oddly content.]

I missed my birthday. Shame, really...I'd hoped to celebrate it for the first time in quite a while. That's alright, it is not as if I've never ignored this before. I wonder, does this make me twenty-six or does it not count for someone like me?

[He shrugged, then seemed to immediately regret it judging by how he winced in pain.]

Ah, one more thing--how well do healing spells work on broken bones? [Calm and casual as ever.] Even a little would help, it's actually very difficult to move as I am now.

What did you do?!

[Video; private]

[croibhristeoir]

Calm down. Wait a second.

[And with a whole lot of confused messing about, he managed to make this call private. Just in case.]

Everything went almost exactly as I wanted it to. So please just relax.

...It is the 'almost' bit that is a little troublesome.

[technologic]

[... What the fu-]

What the-? What happened to you, Diarmuid?

[Video]

[croibhristeoir]

Oh...just a fight, nothing unusual.

[video]

[doudemoe]

[Dude, did you get in a wrestling match with a monorail?]

I don't have any. Sorry.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

[Some crazy linefaced bitch dropped part of a building on me, bro.]

That's alright. Thank you, regardless.

[Video]

[crownedexorcist]

I have healing spells. [Dude, what happened]

[Video]

[croibhristeoir]

Thank you, but I think I might be able to talk Issei into helping me this time. If it doesn't work for any reason, I'll let you know.

[lyres]

[ Just slightly amused. ]

What did you get into now?

video;

[croibhristeoir]

Nothing so unusual. Just a fight.

[video]

[assaultedramen]

Whine, whine, whine.

Just because Gil isn't here doesn't mean you can use this as an excuse to not come into work.

I have things to do tonight so you better show up.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

I'll be there. I apologize, I should have--wait, why am I apologizing, you don't own the place.

[Video, private]

[truthsnomiracle]

[This... didn't look like the results of what they discussed the other day.]

Diarmuid, what happened?

[Video, private]

[croibhristeoir]

A...small complication.

[He smiled awkwardly, actually looking a little embarrassed.]

For all that I planned, I missed a few details. On a subject that is possibly related, there is now a small collapsed structure in another part of the city.

[lostherstrings]

That is an interesting question, though one I have no answer for.

[Her voice turns a little more stern as she continues.]

I would hope that you would have a little more care for your own health the next time you fight. I'm sure you had a worthwhile reason for what ever it is you did to end up in such a state, but I don't like seeing those that I know hurt so grievously.

[croibhristeoir]

This isn't all that bad, by my standards. But I thank you for your concern.

[Video]

[theshiningone]

Sounds like you're used to having some limbs hurt.

You could always buy yourself a cupcake and blow out the candles.

[Video]

[croibhristeoir]

I tend to get into a lot of fights.

Wouldn't it be better to celebrate with other people? That sounds terribly lonely.

reaction;

[emaiya]

[ So Lancer survived the fall. It's not too surprising to Maiya in all honesty. If that alone had killed one of the Fianna, then she would have had to think less of them. He didn't become a heroic spirit by dying easily.

It did complicate matters though. Specifically the one where he knew who she was and that he possibly knew of Kiritsugu. Not good. Not good at all.

No matter. It's information gathered and she has no purpose to talk with him. These 'healing spells', if capable of healing broken bones, might be good to invest in. ]

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Saber doesn't bother to knock when she makes it to his hotel room. He's expecting her and honestly, the sooner she gets back into hiding in a room, the better. Archer was a kind caretaker, but he also took great care in keeping things from her. The mystery of her death shrouds her mind, keeping her from realizing just how impulsive she's action.

It's foolish for a king who's injured and weak to leave the safety of her castle. Yet, here she was, visiting the territory of an old enemy-now-ally. At any point the person who sought her out would know this to be a room she may visit.

So don't mind the bundle of blanket quickly entering and locking the door behind her, leaving her back towards Diarmuid. ]

action;

[croibhristeoir]

[It didn't matter if someone did track her down; even in this condition, Diarmuid would defend her with his life.]

...Is that...is that really you?

[video]

[range]

Wait, hang on one second.

[He's going to leave the screen and come back in a party hat and one of those party blowers that rolls in and out. And he'll blow it out.]

Happy birthday.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...What on earth is that?

[Video]

[monohoshizao]

Ah, had a fight, Diarmuid? Quite a warrior indeed you are.

That aside, I should congratulate you a happy birthday, whether you want to count another addition at your age or not.

[Video]

[croibhristeoir]

It was hardly one worth speaking of. I've not had a real challenge in a long time.

Thank you--whether it counts or not I suppose any reason to celebrate even a little is a good one.

[ video ] PREPARE YOURSELF BECAUSE I'M TAGGING EVERYTHING LATE

[dancingdeath]

[ She does look shocked by all the things he said, but more importantly it was his health. ]

Diarmuid! What happened to you?

[ video ] awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaah

[croibhristeoir]

I just got into a fight, that's all.
