Welcome. (apped to havenmods)

[loyalknight]

I have spent entire months waiting for this night, mun. For so long you continued to try and hide away in your little hole - telling yourself time and time again that when you are ready everything about me will come as naturally to you as a woman's touch comes naturally to me.

Yet, despite this, you denied every opportunity and every chance I freely offered to come out to you only for you to now create this so-called 'better' opportunity for us both.

[The Heroic spirit shakes his head slightly, his expression almost exasperated due to this turn of events.]

Why 'so-called' you ask?

Well I regret to inform you, however, in your mad attempt to reach out to me you have now chosen to estrange myself from my lord and his fiance. Something which, as a result, creates an almost paradoxical existence for myself.

[Lancer pauses as his amber eyes narrow]

Because of this I seek to make it very clear right here and now. No matter how immediate my death may be looming upon the horizon I refuse to kill innocents for the mere sake of energy restoration and survival.

Do with that what you will.

[dipolar]

Ah, you too, huh? [ He rubs the back of his neck. ] Maybe it won't be so bad...

[loyalknight]

The place itself I'm not concerned with.

[Wasn't like he was some weakling after all]

...will you even be able to survive in such a horrific place?

[The kid honestly didn't look like much. It kind of made Lancer worry that his time would be spent more trying to protect people such as this rather than seeking a way to return to his Master.]

[dipolar]

Yeah. I'm sure I'll be fine. [ A pause. ] Weapons aren't allowed, though.

[loyalknight]

[Okay, that caught him off gaurd]

You're kidding me?!

[dipolar]

[ Holding up his hands, he's stepping back a little now. ]

Sorry, um. I'm not.

[loyalknight]

[Lancer rubs a hand across his face in slight aggravation before taking in a breath.

His lances were his main attacks. Though strong independently he didn't stand a chance if the enemies were spell casters without them]

We really will have to make the most of this, won't we? What weapons can you use then?

[threewishes]

'A woman's touch that comes naturally to you', huh?

What a weirdly cute and old-fashioned way of speaking! And I wouldn't be so hard on your mun, by the way.

[loyalknight]

[Lancer looked slightly flustered at that, having not expected a lady to be around beyond his mun to hear him speak in such a way]

I-Is it? I hadn't thought so.

[Quick change the subject before it is too late.]

Normally I am adverse to lecturing but it seems to be the only way to get her to cooperate with me. Were it my lord I would cut him a little more slack truth be told.

1/2

[threewishes]

So, she is cooperating with you? That's good! But I'd watch out for that other saying, y'know-- the one says 'hell hath no fury like a woman scored'.

2/2

[threewishes]

Um. Scorned, that is! Scorned.

[it's pretty obvious that wasn't accidental.]

Not to say that we can't be a force to be reckoned in bed, of course..

[loyalknight]

[Did she really just say that...

Yeah okay. That smirk definitely mean's that those words came out of this lady's mouth.]

I haven't slept with my mun!

[Shit, he was getting more flustered. After spending so many years of his life with the more docile Grainne Lancer had forgotten what it was like to deal with more forward women]

Though I do have to agree with that statement perhaps this conversation is a bit inappropriate?

[Going to see if we can change this conversation again]

[threewishes]

Slept with your mun...?

[well that was unexpected!]

I think that's what we call a "Freudian Slip". Do you have an Oedipus complex, mister?

[loyalknight]

[This girl was persistent]

Wouldn't it be an Electra complex in my case?

[hitolove]

What's this? Having some troubles?

[loyalknight]

[Diarmuid sighs briefly at that before forcing a smirk. It is probably obvious after that monologue that he isn't his more chipper self]

Only a few. But I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out. Can't be too hard, right?

[hitolove]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Who knows? Only you would be able to tell unless you're the type to be stuck in self denial. Do you think you know yourself? If you say you did, you could be lying. If you say you didn't, you could be being too humble.

Now, which do you think you truly are?

[loyalknight]

[Lancer was hardly one for preferring lies over the truth yet this hardly made sense to him.

Was he one for self-denial?

He didn't like to think so. How could he be honest with other's if he were not honest with himself? And so long as other's depended on him, no matter how little Diarmuid though of himself, he would do his very best to come out on top]

I am fully aware of my inefficiencies if that is what you are implying, Stranger. If a knight is unaware of his weakness his sword would crack easily beneath the right kind of pressure.

[hitolove]

Ah, but a knight armored only in ideals will crack under reality.

[loyalknight]

Better to fight for an ideal then give up a dream because of one's reality.

[Lancer's frown deepened]

My apologies but I don't think I received a name?

[whitehairwanderer]

The mun of mine is quite keen on horror of all sorts of interesting...well, topics.

But I find your reasoning vague, knight. You sound ungrateful. But do you think this is truly betrayal?

[loyalknight]

Not betrayal as much as reluctance to pursue the events.

[Lancer sighed]

Were I to stay there too long, separated from my master, I stand the risk of failing in my endeavors.

Something which, quite unfortunately, would mean my very existence was all for naught.

[whitehairwanderer]

Yet the world that awaits you doesn't act as any sort of downcast?

The mun is on the brink of dropping a game and feels the need to fill the hole in the void. S/he's just unsure of who to choose.

The fact that he/she(?) is already involved with another horror themed one (not the one s/he's dropping, mind you) and that the Mundane seems not at all undeterred from having two...it's just plain weird.

[loyalknight]

As someone who has already been to hell and back a little horror can't scare me off.

[Lancer appears far too relaxed and far too happy for someone who had just uttered that sentence.]

If anything it just looks to me like your mun would get bored with a little slice of life. Where's the fun in that when you can enjoy the thrill of battle and danger?

[whitehairwanderer]

I can't tell if I agree with you on that or not, but...the mun does crave action vs. debate.

Although there are those times where the line between those blur. *voice dregs on* The reason he/she is dropping one is because there is a lack of both deliberation and quick action. It is dull, dreary, and lax adventurous types.

[loyalknight]

Why stay in something that is repetitive?

[Lancer shrugs loosely as an excited grin crosses his lips]

To think on one's feet and put your life in danger day after day, that is where fun lies!

[It was a life Diarmuid Ua Duibhne had always craved and...a life he had been forced to give up for the sake of Grainne]

To work with others and succeed in the name of your master is the best feeling in the world.
