[ Meanwhile, during the process of moving the children back down, Cu Chulainn's hazarded a guess about who he's talking to, a conversation that went largely like:
"you're the Ua Duibhne kid, aren't you— 'Diarmuid of the Shining Face'? good to see that they still had a few good eggs left back in Ireland." "another Heroic Spirit from Ireland...? then that would make you—" "the Hound of Chu—" "—the Child of Light? Unbelievable..." "...ah, yeah, it's been a while since anyone's called me that."
Accordingly, Diarmuid looks...well, brighter than before (if that's at all possible), and he beams at his senior Spirit when he sets a few of the kids he'd been carrying gently down onto the ground. ]
If the opportunity presents itself, it would be an honor to lock blades with you.
[ whoa whoa what happened here
but with the task largely finished, Diarmuid moves back towards Ai Thao, still...beaming... look at that face. ]
