[Lancer looks outright haggard as he appears on the feed. However, he at least has his normal form back.]

Master. Brother. I'm okay now.

[And then he shuts off the feet.]

Then there's still not much you can do once the damage has already been sustained.

[proteusmoon]

I am not a proper white mage, no, but I learned to use healing magic enough so that I could do something in cases like that.

[puppy_lancer]

[He smirks.]

Maybe I can let you work just a little magic on me then.

[proteusmoon]

If you were close to death, I don't think you'd have a choice. Would you expect me to allow you to die?

[puppy_lancer]

Then the fact that I don't die easy should save you some work.

[proteusmoon]

[ Her expression turns a little skeptical at that, an eyebrow arching doubtfully. ]

...How often have you died here?

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, just a few times. More than seven.

[proteusmoon]

[ Just a few times, he says... ]

More than seven, Lancer? How long have you been here!

[ She's expecting him to say at least over two years. Less than that is rather worrying. ]

[puppy_lancer]

...A few months. Why?

[proteusmoon]

It sounds more as though I have my work cut out for me...

[ She sighs. ]

Please do not volunteer yourself for Jason's experiments again.

[puppy_lancer]

...You've got no worries when it comes to that. I'll fuck the Morrigan three ways to Sunday before I do that again.

[proteusmoon]

I'm... not sure what you mean by that, but I trust it isn't something you'd prefer over much.

[puppy_lancer]

Hell no. Go ask my brother sometime. He'll give you the full story.

[proteusmoon]

Er... It seems too personal of a story to ask Diarmuid about...

I can't protect anyone constantly — I know that — and least of all someone who gives of himself as selflessly as you, but it would mean a lot to me if you could understand that there are people who need you.

[ Like Diarmuid. ]

Sacrificing your life for them is often not what they need from you.

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods.]

I'll take that to heart. Thanks for telling me.

[proteusmoon]

[ The severity of Cecil's expression lessens and she gives Lancer a soft smile. ]

Thank you for listening.

[puppy_lancer]

I'm gonna go now, alright?

[He hadn't told her much, but just talking with her makes him feel better, in that he knows he has friends who support him.]

[proteusmoon]

...All right.

[ Cecil doesn't know if she's helped, if she's done anything to comfort him, and a part of her wonders if she pushed too hard or spoke out of line. She has no choice but to let him go and trust his words. ]

I'm relieved you've been returned to your original state. Please be safe.

[puppy_lancer]

You too, Lady knight. Stay safe.
