[Issei is taking down the month of February's page in his calendar. On the next page, the date of March 3rd has 'BIRTHDAY' written in blue, circled, and with sparkles around it.

Issei stares at it for a few moments, then goes to get a black marker. Scowling, he blacks out the entire square.]

As though that were any cause for celebration. Khh, happy birthday to me.

[Lancer seemed to think things over for a few minutes; when he spoke it was in a quiet and tired voice.]

...I'll stay. But only on one condition: I'd like to be left alone for a while. A week, maybe two--there's a great deal of things I need to work out for myself, and I am not sure I can do that here.

In that time, I'd like you to seriously consider just how you should be handling this as well, and whether or not you're intending to continue with things like this. Is that fair?

That's fair. -Thank you, Diarmuid. It's more than I possibly could ask for.

[croibhristeoir]

Don't thank me. I have my own selfish reasons to stay or to leave, so either way it's not something worth praise or gratitude.

It's natural to praise the things that cause me happiness, right?
