It's not a lot! Just a hug or two or a hand shake or two. That's why I don't understand why people let themselves get so sick!

[Diarmuid frowns slightly.]

I know some people don't like to be touched, but you don't even have to touch bare skin. Sometimes I have gotten all I need just sparring with someone. That contact is just through clothes! I could touch your arm and even with your gaunt-let on it would count!

[Speaking of sparring... Diarmuid's expression suddenly becomes a little shy.]

I know you just got here, but the other you promised to help me learn my swords better. Do you think you might be able to help me sometimes?
