[He isn't sure what he had been expecting, but it wasn't Diarmuid on his knee, bowing wordlessly before him. He hadn't been sure at all of how the other man was going to react after what had happened. It's a gesture that's touching in a way. He can't remember anyone else kneeling before him before, like Diarmuid is now.
And he remembers Diarmuid, being so kind to him, wiping the blood from his hands and singing to him, all because he asked. All to ease his sorrow. That's not something anyone's tried to do for him, not since Aoi used to care for him like a big sister when they were children, though that had been different. Diarmuid isn't anything like that. He's a Servant, a powerful Heroic Spirit, and he has no real reason to show Kariya such kindness. He simply has.
Kariya is silent a moment himself before he speaks.]

You don't have to do that.
