Letter, March 15th

[puppy_lancer]

Woah, that's pretty great. I'll go greet that little lady in the meadow then.

A meeting among flowers is pretty romantic, don't you think?

--Cu Chulainn

P.S. Just kidding on the romantic part

[oathshackledbird]

I trust you.

And I trust she will kick your ass if you do anything too forward.

Just a friendly warning from your roommate.

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

Don't worry. She'll be like a little sister. Or a niece. No need for her to kick my ass, even.

--Cu Chulainn

[oathshackledbird]

Niece, hu?

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

Wait. Did I say write that?

--Cu Chulainn

[oathshackledbird]

You did.

Brother.

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

[Too bad Diarmuid can't see how stupidly huge the grin is on Lancer's face.]

I didn't mean

I'm glad you

Can I call you big brother now

You're not Ferdiad but

This is stupid but

Guess it's official now.

Brother.

--Cu Chulainn

[oathshackledbird]

[It's a similar shame that Cu Chulainn can't hear the honest laughter the note causes in Diarmuid.]

Call me what you will, Brother. I won't argue.

And we have been thus for a while now. What has taken you so long to realize it?

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

I didn't think I'd every have another brother.

Not after Ferdiad.

And you had Oscar.

So even after all that happened and we got really close, I was scared you didn't want I didn't know if you wanted to accept someone like me as a brother.

--Cu Chulainn

[oathshackledbird]

I will always accept you.

Once family, always so.

You're stuck with me now.

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

I think I should be saying that.

I can be a troublesome little brother. You're sorta stuck with keeping me in like now

--Cu Chulainn

[oathshackledbird]

There are worse fates, my brother.

Much worse fates.

--Diarmuid

[puppy_lancer]

There are, but in terms of good things, I can't think of anything better. Well, maybe if Misaya or Ayaka were here and I could introduce you to them. But this is as good as it can get around here.

[When he sees how the letter is signed, the smile on Diarmuid's face is electric. Amusingly enough, he is also blushing slightly. There are o many things he wants to say, but in the end what he writes is just a short reply.]

Thank you. I am sorry I have no special name to share with you. Maybe you need to think of a nickname for me?

--Your big brother

[puppy_lancer]

Can't think of any right now. But I'll think of one soon enough.
