A Story and a Song...
Who: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (smallspot ) and anyone who wants to run into a cute little kid.
Where: An open grassy area near Building One.
When: 8-19, in the afternoon
Format: Starting in prose, but please use whatever you want to reply!
Summary: There are a lot of fun ways to spend a warm afternoon, though, for a bitty knight the best way to spend it is...training! Oh, and sometimes stopping to sing songs to his 'family.'
Warnings: Cuteness?
For once Diarmuid is using his cloak as something other than a blanket. Right now, he is carefully spreading it out on the grass so that he can set his new toys on it. With him are three small stuffed animals he got at the end of the festival--two adult swans and a baby one.
"Here is the father swan," Diarmuid carefully sets the first of the adult swans onto the cloak--the one he has picked to represent his foster father, Aengus. He then sets the other adult swan next to the first, this one representing his foster mother, Caer, "And here is the mother swan! And here is the baby swan who isn't lost anymore!" The boy sets the baby swan in front of the two adults and then jumps up and claps his hands happily.
"Now the whole family is together again! Watch me, Father! Watch me, Mother! I'll show you what everyone has been teaching me while I've been away!" The boy bows to the toys and then picks his practice sword up off the ground. He takes a few steps away before starting to practice the new sword moves he's been taught by Suzaku and some of the others who have offered to train him.
He knows that the toys aren't really his family, of course, but over the last few days he's been more homesick than usual and talking to them like they are helps for some reason. Once he's practiced for a while, Diarmuid will sit down by the toys for a rest and to sing some happy songs to his 'family.' After a few songs, he will jump up and start practicing again. Diarmuid isn't really paying attention to anything going on around him, but he will be happy to talk to anyone who approaches him and be even happier should anyone decide they want to train along with him.

[It's surreal, knowing what will become of this boy…]
no subject
[Diarmuid makes a couple of trusting strikes with his sword.]
That way if something doesn't work, I will have something else to try! I can't help people if I let myself be defeated!
no subject
Yes, you're right-- but don't forget, you still have quite a bit of time to learn. Be in no rush, young Diarmuid.
no subject
[The boy lets his practice sword drop down to his side.]
Don't worry. I like playing still! I don't practice all the time.
no subject
[She's a little surprised by it, honestly.]
And it is good that you do. Have you many children to play with here?

[An excited look fills his eyes.]
His name is Cu Chulainn! He's my hero. Well...he will be when he gets big! Right now he's my best friend. Have you met him?
