[Video] To Cherish the Time...

[smallspot]

[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?

Your friends have escaped this prison and returned to their own worlds. Is that not enough for you? [Mewtwo, you have a heart of ice.]

[swordofzero]

Diarmuid. [Suzaku is on his PDA, though he doesn't check it every day he usually skims it to check if any of his friends has asked for help.

He is worried to see Diarmuid crying, and is saddened to hear he had suffered another loss.] Where are you?

[This is a very conflicting time for September, isn't it? The Observer in question watches this broadcast and tries several times to speak, but no words come to him. He has no idea what to say to someone who is clearly grieving. He suspects that these people haven't actually died, but they are just as gone as they would be if they had done. Eventually he asks, almost hesitantly:]

I do not know what I can do to help you. Do you wish to... talk about it?

[Oh no. Cute and tiny and trying so, so hard to be strong. What a sweetheart- and definitely too young for Cupid not to want to scoop up and hug until he feels better.]

It's hard to lose friends, but it's harder to be willing to remember them even though their being gone hurts your heart.

[She smiles gently, inclining her head.]

I think that's plenty strong for a knight.

[But her expression turns a little more serious for a moment, but never loses that sympathy.]

I can help, if you'd like? What did you want to do to remember them?

Even knights have emotions as the rest of us do. There is no need to feel embarrassed over the way you currently feel.

[After all, someone like him, who used to lack emotions and empathy, felt deep regret and pain over his master's leaving the city. He still does. There has not been friends he felt strongly for leaving as of yet. But he is expecting it to happen over the course of time. Hopefully not before the end of the year, at the very least.]

...what do you propose we do to remember those who have returned home? Do you have an idea?

action?

Brother?

[Cu Chulainn carefully up from behind the other boy and gives him a big hug. Their other dog, White, follows at his heels.]

Are you okay? I'm sorry...
