...hm.]
Lancer, what is the last thing you remember? I'm starting to have some suspicions about how things back home are accounted for, though I'll obviously need that information first.
[... the idea is a bit relieving to him, at least, even though this could just as easily be explained by infinite parallel worlds. Still, he is rarely wrong.]
Anyway... a Servant and a magus? I'm suspecting they aren't aligned with each other, then, if the latter is aware of some sort of third faction the rest of us haven't been informed of yet, but it's always a possibility. I'd suggest you keep an eye on things all the same --- I've been trying to make some early contacts with people from worlds other than ours, since if we're in this for the long haul that's going to be a necessity.
no subject
[Never mind that he had been somewhat distracted by thoughts on how the fight had gone and why his lord had reacted as he did. It is why he did not see the fairy ring until it was far too late to avoid it.]
Why do you ask?
[Diarmuid nods in agreement as he listens to Kayneth detail his plans for getting to know people in the court.]
That was my plan as well. It just so happens the first people I ended up talking to were those from worlds like our own. I believe you are right about the magus and Servant. The magus seemed to have limited knowledge of Servants and the Servant made no mention of a Master also being here. In fact, it is my belief he was pulled from the end of his war.
Have you heard anything about a magus that is bearer of the second iteration of your title? The magus I spoke to said he knew such a person.
no subject
[...there really wasn't any need to mention the tension between the three of them given that he's peeved enough about having to admit any of this, but...]
...and then, infuriatingly enough, whoever initiated the attack went ahead and blew up the hotel. Sola-Ui, you, and I survived intact, but I'm missing practically of my Mystic Codes outside of Volumen Hydragyrm.
So, I'm suspecting, then, that the fact that you appear to have come from an earlier point in time means one of two things. One, it barely, if at all, disrupts our original lives and we return with no hint that we'd left. The other is, of course, theory of parallel worlds, and that is the main point of difference between them.
...well, this seems like a more pleasant fate for a Servant at the end of his war than I might usually think of, though ---
[...wait, what]
An... El-Melloi II, I'm guessing?
[aw man, future children... that could be awkward.]
no subject
[Diarmuid repeats the words, alarm in his voice. Some of his concern is lessened when his lord says that everyone made it out of the hotel safely, but to lose their base and all of its protections so soon...]
If we are from different times, perhaps I will be allowed to remember this when I leave. That way, I can warn my lord...err...you about what will happen. We can hopefully prevent the loss then...
[To be honest, he is not sure if that is possible, but he will hope so anyway. He will do whatever he can do to increase their chances of winning and not losing their base so soon will definitely do that.]
That is correct, though the magus I talked to made it very clear that the one carrying the title is not your child, but another who was picked by the family head to bear it. I can only guess that they decided to pass the title on sometime after we won the war. If that is the case, then that person is from farther in the future than both of us.
no subject
[you're a lucky fucker, alternate Kayneth.]
But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Though... wait, that isn't my descendant?
[He actually looks a bit peeved about that.]
That isn't particularly encouraging, given that any child of mine should be talented enough to inherit my title. Are you sure he wasn't lying?
no subject
I will make every effort to. Of that, have no doubt.
[Diarmuid considers the question for a moment and then shakes his head.]
I do not believe he was, but at the same time, he also told me to make sure I consider everything I am told here closely before making my decisions. He implied that those who are in charge here are not being completely truthful with us. To be honest, I had the feeling he was trying very hard to encourage more people to whatever this third group is.
no subject
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't --- it's rare to find a person in this world who doesn't have some sort of agenda. ...or any world, for that matter.
Well, regardless, perhaps I should speak to this man and judge for myself, then. Did he show his face at all?
no subject
He did, though there was very little about him that would set him apart from most of the other people here. His most unique feature would be his long brown hair.
[Which, now that Diarmuid thinks on it, might be why the man was so willing to show his face. It's not like his hair was an unusual color or he had horns. There was very little about his looks that would make him stick out in a crowd.]
no subject
[ahahahaha]
For now, though, I'm content to wait until after this feast to track him down. This is in our honor, after all.
no subject
[Diarmuid is far less interested in this feast that is being thrown for them at the moment than Kayneth apparently is. This is certainly not the first feast that has been thrown in his honor, after all.]
In that case, shall I allow you to return to the festivities? I will continue to gather what information I can and will be in touch should I find anything out.
no subject
[this absolutely cannot go wrong at all]
Anyway, most certainly. You're dismissed, then.
no subject
I wish you luck in your search. If you need me at any time, please contact me via the lockets.
[Since their bond has been broken, it is the only way they have that doesn't involve Diarmuid always being at Kayneth's side.]
I will be in touch.
[He gives Kayneth a nod and then disappears into the crowd.]
no subject
[He'll give a brief dismissive wave and head on his own way, then!]
