Still Cu Chulainn is a very different man and hero from Diarmuid even if he looked up to him while growing up. Despite those differences, Diarmuid finds himself a bit surprised at the other Lancer's thoughts on this war. The last thing he expects to hear is that his hero doesn't really want to take a part in this fight...
After a moment of thought, though, an idea pops into Diarmuid's head. One if true, is something that makes him sad.]
Did your war not go well? Is that why you do not wish to fight now?

My old Master was an incredible coward. He had two Servants at his disposal, but refused to use either! In the end, he just wanted to bend the rules and squeak by so he could steal the Grail from the potential winner.
[He sighed irritably, waving his free hand dismissively. He didn't want to talk Diarmuid's ear off about it.] That loser aside, it's not really the reason.
You know my legend, right? After all the fighting I did and all the things I managed to get done, do you think I really should be so greedy enough to ask for more glory? It was even a part of my vow to live a short life--so, if I fight, it should be for my own fun or my beliefs and not for some famous cause.

[Diarmuid might not agree with all of Kayneth's choices when it comes to battle, but he is not going to call the man a coward. After all, he had come to the fight, even if he had stayed hidden within the shadows instead of standing at his Servant's side.]
You have my sympathy for your misfortune.
[And, since he can hear the irritation in the other man's voice, Diarmuid says nothing more on that topic. Instead, he shifts over to the reason Cu Chulainn has given for not wanting to fight.]
I guess I see it in a different light than you do. It is not so much about glory as it is completing a duty that has been handed to me. If winning this war is the only way for me to return to my current lord so that I can fulfill the vows I have made to him, then I will put my all into finishing this war.
I am just saddened I will not have the chance to fight it with you at my side. However, the choice is yours. Even heroes deserve their rest.

You might see me on one of your battlefields if it's up to snuff by my standards. [He said that with a wide, toothy grin. The way his eyes had shone, it was clear that Lancer said that with the utmost of hope. He wanted a good reason to fight by his standards. By far, Cu Chulainn decided that Diarmuid was everything he expected from his legend and it was awe-inspiring that knights could still be that full of pride and valor.]
And, y'know, I'd probably have your mindset if my war wasn't over. Just try not to outshine those rookies who might just be starting their careers.
no subject
[He raises his glass in toast to Cu Chulainn.]
Here's to hoping I will see you on the battlefield someday and woe be to those on the other side from us. They will very quickly regret their choices.
[Diarmuid takes a long drink from his glass and then nods.]
I will try, but I make no promises, my friend. When I fight, I fight to my fullest and give my all. It would be a dishonor to the one I am fighting and myself if I didn't. Those rookies will have to work hard so that my feats do not shine alone.

He inspected the emptied glass a moment.]
It makes me feel a bit guilty when I hear that. [Still, he couldn't regret his decision. It was something he'd adhere to so he could respect Cathbad a little--for once. If not during his life, maybe a few times in the next one.]
I've always lived without restraint. It's gonna be weird trying it out.
no subject
[Diarmuid takes a moment to finally finish his drink before continuing.]
Restraint has its positives. I should know. After I got this...
[He passes his hand under the mole on his face.]
...restraint is something I came to know very well. There was too much chance of things going wrong and people getting hurt otherwise.
