GUESS WHO'S BACK.
It appears that this place has taken a liking to kicking me out, and then bringing me back.
[That voice seems familiar, doesn't it? It most definitely does, because he has been here before. In a much cleaner state, really.
His voice is hoarse. He seems out of breath about something; like he's just gotten into a fight and someone punched him right in his throat.
Funny.
All is explained when the feed clicks on and Neah is much more visible.
Crimson staining his clothes; along with his skin. There also seems to be fresh blood dripping from the tips of his hair. Either way, he doesn't look fazed. He's been through this before. Twice now. His wounds don't hurt as it did the first time, but damn. Does he look happy.]
I complain too much about how this place has awful timing, but I must say... [A chuckle.]
What perfect timing.
[He goes quiet for a moment so he can catch his breath.] What have I missed?

I assure you, I didn't want to leave without saying "Goodbye", but Prospero didn't give me a choice.

[BREATHE, Diarmuid.]
...Are you alright?
[video]
[Holy shit. That's one of the few moments that Neah is legit surprised that the speakers on his phone were actually loud. Excuse his sudden look of 'what the hell just happened'.]
Peachy. Unfortunately, the concierge refuses to let me back into the hotel until I get cleaned up.

[Time to play the waiting game right now, huh.]

Neah?

Diarmuid. [He stands. Extending out his hand for a handshake. GOOD OL' TIMES.] It's nice to see you again.
[action]
[action]
... Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you.
[action]
[Like he's not used to that, sheesh.]
But I...everyone left. You, Arturia, Grainne, Issei--I didn't know what to do. I thought...I thought none of you would ever return.
[action]
I've returned. In time, as well. [Pausing. Followed by a sigh.] ... Have they returned?
[action]
...all except Grainne.
[action]
I'm sorry, Diarmuid.
[action] 1/3
...don't apologize. It isn't your fault. Besides, most of you have returned, and others besides that--

If you should encounter a man far out of his element accompanied by butterflies and possibly your parrot, please try to be kind to him despite his...eccentricities.
[action]
[Hey wait, his parrot? Hey wait what is going on] Ah... Who is this man?
[action]
[Awkward cough.]
...My father.
[action]
[cough. what.]
F...ather? Your biological father?
[action]
[That reply was very sudden and unusually cold, as if that was the final word on the subject and further questioning was definitely not happening.]
...He's the one who adopted me when I was still very young. And unlike myself and Arturia, he is a little less...up to date, shall we call it?
[action]
[Whoops. Treading on red flags, not a good idea. Let's move away from that subject and pleasantly smile like he didn't even mention that at all!]
Very well, I will take note about a man with... butterflies. [Yes good.] His name? So I don't mistake him for anyone.
