Mm. That attitude is what makes you the person I love.
[Above anything else, that love is the most important thing in Diarmuid's life. From childhood puppylove to teenage infatuation to tormented long and on to the easy affection they have now, loving Cu has been a fixture in his life for as long as he can remember. The fact that it's ended up the way he dreamed (or as close to it as he can get now) is something he'll be eternally grateful for.
But he can't linger on it anymore right now. There isn't time for that, when they're being pursued. Soon they'll be too far from town for an easy return, so despite how much he wants to linger in Cu's arms he knows this is all they've got.]
I'll have to demand a head start, though. I'm sorry.
[To his credit, he keeps a faint smile on his face when he goes to kiss Cu's forehead. It might be the last they ever see of each other, after all. To his regret, he's got to knock Cu out with a quick and expert jab.]
