Thank you. I appreciate it. If any of you wish to come and sit with her, please let me know. As much as I would like to sit here at her side the whole time, I cannot.
[And he has no idea when Cu Chulainn will be back. The other Lancer is really the one who should be here when she wakes up.]
Seelie and Unseelie alike are welcome here, so none of you will be in danger. She wouldn't stand for it.
Once I get the message out, I'll swing by. Our other friend, Hiccup, he'll probably come too, no doubt about it. [The three of them had stuck together for a long time when it all started after all. They'd stick together even now, especially now.]
I'm fine. I ... when I slept, it was for a really long time. Almost three centuries, actually. I know it won't be that long for her, obviously, but still, it just ... it's not easy. I didn't want anyone else to have to go through that.
You and Hiccup are more than welcome here. It's been a while since I saw Hiccup and Toothless. I hope they are doing well. [Samhain seems like a very long time ago now even though it's only been a few months.]
Thank you for all of your help. If there is ever anything I can do for either of you, please let me know.
[Diarmuid blinks in surprise when Jack says how long he was away.]
Three centuries? I can't imagine how disorienting that must have been for you....
[Would it have been anything like being summoned back into the world about 2000 years after his death had been?]
Not the worst. I know how to keep myself having fun. It's kind of my thing. [Despite the fact that he had to go through it almost entirely alone. At least Merida will be able to be by her family.]
I appreciate it though. Merida's our oldest friend here, so we'll want to be there.
Good! Being able to have fun does make hard times a little easier.
[Not that he knows that much about having fun. Diarmuid thinks things like helping people and teaching are fun. What a weirdo...]
I am glad that she has friends like you two. I worry about her. She is a brave and feisty girl, much like my daughter was and, boy, could Druime get herself into trouble...
Guardian of Fun, hu? That is a good title to have. Maybe you can teach me how to have more fun sometime. Most people who know me will tell you I don't have nearly enough of it.
[Diarmuid laughs and jokingly winks at Jack.]
Well, what can you say? People teach best when they have first hand experience with what they are teaching...
I know I should have more fun, but I am one of those who completely throws himself into his duty. Plus, I always had to be the one to keep people from having too much fun in the past.
[Oh, the joys of leadership...]
My wife will probably thank you. [As long as Diarmuid doesn't end up in too much trouble that is.]

[Diarmuid gives Jack a concerned look.]
Are...you all right?

Feisty, yeah, that's pretty accurate. Though she's pretty good at scolding people for getting into as much trouble as she does.

[He'd be more than happy to do it. People need to laugh more in the midst of all of this.]
True enough. It's why people come to me first when they need to be taught a little more about trouble.

Everyone is good at something...
