action / text / video / etc.

NOTE: I am forever backtag friendly and absolutely open to doing things from past events that won't really have an effect on things at any given time. For example, if you'd like to do something with Peter aged down or when he was his spider dream guide, etc.

[He bites his lip, thinking about the vision he and Max had witnessed, in the smoke... but even if he didn't fear possibly dying at the hands of the norsemen, there was just... a big blank space where his yearning for home should have been. Not that he didn't yearn to return to an easier time — to the monastery, where everything was simple and boring and safe — but... he never saw himself going back to the monastery now.]

I lost... a good deal of my fellow brothers. And my dearest friend as well.

And I think I would be disgraced to return to my home as I am.

So... I guess I don't. This place has taken a tremendous toll on me, but... home is not much better.

[He frowns down at the table, something uncomfortable forming like a mass in his stomach.]

... I do, yes. I believe in God. But — I'm not sure if evil is something anyone can truly measure. I try... to keep those things in the hands of God. To let Him say what is and isn't evil, because... humanity is a flawed creation, the kind that could misunderstand. The kind of creation that can be wrong. About what is and isn't evil.

[A held breath, as he dwells upon the words spoken to him, last he was in his world.]

If I may be honest, I had spent some time concerned if I had something evil in me. If my choices were actually the work of someone tainted by the Devil himself — and that I was ruined. [Glancing up, he considers the question, or rather, the reason for it.] Do you think you're evil?

[He bites his lip, sitting in silence for a moment.]

I think... it can influence someone. I think the more bad that one does, the harder it can be to... to return to a better path. And certainly, I think there could be energies at work that make choices more difficult. But — I have to believe that no matter how much evil one may have inside them, or how much bad they do, that there is always a chance for redemption.

... My friend in my world, he had left a long road of bloodshed in his past; he killed people, hurt so many... but he repented. He wanted to make up for his errors in life. He served our monastery faithfully. And if he had not been there for me, I would have died.

[He puts a hand on Peter's arm, slowly, carefully.]

It does not matter what you are, what you're afflicted with.

It only matters what you do with it now.

It's nothing you need to thank me for.

[He smiles in turn, a warm and kind sort of smile, the kind that leaves little room for doubt that he's fond of the other teenager; Peter's a good person, he thinks. Whatever nightmares plague his history, Diarmuid is confident in what he sees in the other boy. He gives Peter's arm one more squeeze.]

Shall we enjoy lunch?
