Diarmuid seems to notice there is some kind of hesitation and he tilts his head in confusion, "Is everything okay? You can sit down if you like. Oh!" Something else suddenly strikes him, "Are you hungry? I said I would get you some food and something to drink!"

The boy turns and starts toward the kitchen, pausing near the table to grab one of the bags of candy. He then turns and returns to James' side, "Do you like chocolate? This is milk chocolate. It's the kind my brother and I like the best. We tried white and dark chocolate too, but we didn't like either kind as well."

It's probably obvious to James from his training that the boy is paying no attention at all to the weapons on the table. They aren't there because Diarmuid thinks he might need them for protection. They are only there because Diarmuid tends to use them everyday for practicing and it is a good place to put them so nothing happens to them when he's not using them.
