[After his response to Ruana, the almost disturbingly composed Waver with his mercury maid behind him decided to address the network himself.]

I'll make this clear: I don't give a flying multiverse-traveling fuck how real or fake it is, I will give damn near anything for a cigarette right now.

[Either he'd gone completely insane or just snapped into harsh sarcasm and irritation as a defense mechanism.]

Waver, he shouldn't have to be on any side. He's a child! We should be protecting him not looking to him to help save us!

[Diarmuid pauses here, shaking his head.]

No, we can't even say that for sure. Not after learning that all that we have been seeing has been fake all this time. How do we know they look anything like the forms they show us? For all we know, he is just as much an adult as the rest of them if they are even things that can be called 'adults' or 'children.'

...I don't know--maybe you're right. Maybe it's still too early to form any kind of hypothesis to lean on no matter what it is.

At this rate I'll get a headache just trying to rationalize it.

[oathshackledbird]

Probably, though if anyone can figure things out, it's you.

[Diarmuid drops an arm around Waver's shoulders and turns him toward the bathroom door.]

Come on. Lets stop thinking so hard for a little while. I know my brain could use the rest and I am sure yours could too.

[fionnuisce]

You don't need to flatter me. [Laughing, Waver walked out with him.]

Do you feel a little better about all this in general, at least?

[oathshackledbird]

Yes, I do. Thank you.

[He looks a little sheepish for a moment.]

I would say I am sorry again, but I have a feeling you will probably hit me alongside the head for being an idiot, so I think I will just stick to saying 'I feel better' for now.

[fionnuisce]

You are, but I think I'll overlook that part just this once.

[oathshackledbird]

You are too kind. Come on, lets get out of here. I don't care what we do, but I don't want to think anymore on this right now.
