Comments

[yuetsu]

[ are you mine


. . . no . . . ]

[beautymark]

[ Oh you're vaguely familiar. Wait, Lancer mentioned you. ]

Kotomine Kirei, isn't it?

[yuetsu]

[ stares at his face before dropping his eyes to the swords. ]

. . . Saber, then?

[beautymark]

Correct. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[yuetsu]

Same here, Saber.

[beautymark]

Are you the same Kotomine Kirei the other Diarmuid would have mentioned to me?

[yuetsu]

[ . . . what has he told you . . . ]

Most likely.

[beautymark]

[ Oh not much. Not much at all. ]

Then perhaps I should apologise for not being the one you know.

[yuetsu]

And is your past more similar to his, despite the difference in Class?

[beautymark]

It seems our Masters were the same, as was which war we were summoned to. Beyond that, I can only assume.

[yuetsu]

The Fourth War, then. [ a thoughtful pause ] You will have to seek a Master here as well, though the Thusian gods have at least given you the boon of choice.

[beautymark]

So I've heard. I'll make that choice carefully.

[yuetsu]

Good luck.

[beautymark]

...I've heard what you've done, in very brief terms.

[yuetsu]

[ studies Diarmuid's face for a moment, then drops his gaze. ]

Do you wish to raise issue with something?

[beautymark]

I don't know his feelings or past, and I know nothing of the one you had with you before, but I know that there is much one can endure and much one can bend to before they're broken. I also know that those who keep moving after breaking are the strongest. That's all.

[yuetsu]

. . .

You mean to prove that he's not fragile.

[beautymark]

It isn't my place to interfere in his troubles. I'm merely saying to be careful what assumptions you make of me.

[yuetsu]

Unless the subject of your fragility becomes something to be tested it seems unlikely your strength of mind will matter. Perhaps you have succeeded your lord. This line of conversation is meaningless then, isn't it.

[beautymark]

...Your opinion of them reflects on me at least in some regard. As we're likely to see each other relatively often, I thought it best to establish my position from the beginning.

[yuetsu]

I know 'Diarmuid' quite well. If you wish to shift your position in my eyes it will take a great deal of effort.

[beautymark]

I am not the man I was when I entered the fourth war. Even if we all began the same, we must have all ended differently.

[yuetsu]

"Those who keep moving after breaking are the strongest."

Even if we differ on the definition of fragility there, I have experience with that phenomenon within the Heroic Spirit named Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. But even simply 'moving' . . . [ cuts himself off ]

Ah, forgive me. This topic is going to get unpleasant if we continue.

[beautymark]

...So it seems. It can be saved for later. For now, I simply advise not coming too close. I'm not as naive as I once was.

[ Glares sharply, then turns to walk away. ]

[yuetsu]

[ . . . watches him go, without another word. ]
