For the record, I do not work at a maid cafe or as a sky pirate, nor am I a fairy godparent or a squire to a knight. I am dating only one person, not a dozen, and his name is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. I went to high school in Fuyuki, and never went to college or to Hogwarts. My family is limited to my father, Reikan-nii, and Kasumi-nee.

I would make an Unlimited Virus Works joke here but it's not coming to me.

[unknownrival]

Very well. As you wish.

[croibhristeoir]

...I didn't even know Servants could get headaches.

[unknownrival]

I have doubts they were designed to hold several different timelines in their heads at once.

[croibhristeoir]

No, I would assume not.

[unknownrival]

At least your head didn't explode.

[croibhristeoir]

It was a close call, with the crying blood and all that.

For the record, I do not intend to make that a habit.

[unknownrival]

Good, I'd need to change the carpet. [It's a weak joke but at least an attempt.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm sorry for all that.

[unknownrival]

Why are you apologizing when you're the one who suffered?

[croibhristeoir]

It must have upset you, didn't it?

[unknownrival]

Of course, but you should be happy for your own sake, not for mine.

[croibhristeoir]

I'll be fine.

[unknownrival]

I know you will.

[croibhristeoir]

[He finally sat up after a moment, sighing and pressing a hand to his head. Exactly what was he supposed to even say now?]

[unknownrival]

It won't last. The headache, I mean.

[croibhristeoir]

I'll be alright soon enough. I've had worse hangovers.

[unknownrival]

You'll have to tell me about those sometime.

[croibhristeoir]

Bad decisions and very long nights. Apart from that, I'm afraid I haven't very interesting stories.

[unknownrival]

I'm sure they're more interesting than you think.

[croibhristeoir]

Not particularly.

[He shrugged and laid down again, resting his head on Issei's lap without a second thought.]

I've been miserable to deal with lately, I'm sure. Can you forgive me?

[unknownrival]

[Without hesitation, Issei began lightly stroking his hair with his fingers.]

As many times as you wish.

[croibhristeoir]

...If I could just perhaps accept what I have instead of questioning why I have it, I think I could be alright.

[unknownrival]

I'm sure that's within your power.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't think it will be very easy.

[unknownrival]

When has that ever stopped you?
