[Video] To Cherish the Time...
[This face usually isn't found on the Network for two reasons. One is because he is only barely knows how to use the Network. Not only is he young, but from far in the past. If a person wants to talk to another where he is from, they just go and talk to them. They don't use a strange machine to do it.
And two, those strange machines really require one to know how to read to use them fully, and that is something Diarmuid is still learning how to do. Devin took the time to show him how to use the video feed shortly after he arrived, though, and so it is a video he is currently making after a bit of fiddling around with the buttons.
Diarmuid is obviously distressed. He's trying to seem strong, but his eyes are red and his cheeks damp. It's clear he's been crying and might be close to doing it again. The boy opens his mouth to speak, but as he does, a whine sounds. He turns away from the camera and reaches down to pat his puppy, Grey, on top of the head.]
Don't worry. It will be okay. I won't go away and leave you.
[For a few moments, Diarmuid seems to have forgotten he is recording a video and just spends time comforting Grey. Of course, maybe he's taking the time to comfort himself as well considering how shaky his voice is. However, he does finally turn back to the camera.]
I-I know knights are suppose to be strong b-but...
[He reaches up to wipe a tear away from eyes.]
Can we do something? Something to celebrate everyone who has left here? I just lost another friend and I-I...
[Tears start slipping down his face more freely. For a moment, it seems like Diarmuid is going to end the message, but then he continues. Even though he's crying and his voice is shaking, there is determination in his eyes.]
I want to celebrate the time we had here instead of being sad they are gone! Will anyone help me? Please?

[Diarmuid jumps up and down happily, clapping his hands at the same time.]
I love stories! I don't care if they are stories I have heard before or have memorized. I still like hearing them again. There is so much to learn from them and some even take you to far away places you might never get to go to otherwise! It's so much fun!
