[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.

[April has been busy the last few days; with all this stuff about the church going on, April needed to get her computer lab set up for some info gathering. Plus, there's that whole Valentine's thing, which has made her more anxious, and she needed to get something she promised she'd get for someone. So today, April can be seen around town either:

1.) Walking down the streets carrying a pile of boxes; this wouldn't be too much of a problem if the boxes didn't block her vision, so she currently can't see where she's going. Luckily, she has been able to to avoid bumping into anyone, even though a few times her tower of boxes almost looks ready to topple over and it doesn't help that she's carrying a few bags too. Don't worry though, she'll try not to walk into anyone.

OR

2.) Later in the day, April has decided to go to the park and is now seated underneath one of the tress there. And she's tinkering with... something, humming to herself as she does so. Judging by the faint frown on her face, the tinkering doesn't seem to be going to well (the thing may have just sparked at her for a moment there), but she continues to hum while she works.]
