[If Servants could get headaches, Lancer felt one starting. More than likely his imagination, he knew--he really did not want to be the one to deliver the news but there was little choice. He was dressed in human clothes once again, including the glasses he didn't actually need. Diarmuid at least took those off as he spoke, folding them and putting them in his shirt pocket.]

It would seem Issei Ryudo can no longer access the community. Don't worry...he's still here and perfectly fine. I know he has a number of friends here, and I wanted to let all of them know they don't need to worry. As his Servant I will protect him at any cost.

This changes nothing. My Master's temple is and shall remain a safe haven for those in need of it. This place and all those who should reside within it are under the protection of a Knight of Fianna. Please do not hesitate to come here if dire circumstances leave you with no other alternative.

[A while later, after taking a few things into consideration ~~and figuring out how filters worked~~ Lancer managed to send an anonymous text--granted, if someone so much as sneezed they could probably hack it. Damned technology.]

I'm sorry to trouble anyone, but I have a question.

What would you do if your purpose in life was rendered mostly irrelevant?

I'm no saint either, Retasu.

You're good enough for Issei-san to like you.

And you are his friend. That logic goes both ways here.

He really loves you.

That doesn't mean that he does not care about you.

*blink* Y-you...?

...I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?

[seriously how are these two so similar]

[damn awkwardturtles]

I just wish you could be able to regard yourself a little more highly.

I. Um. It's okay. I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

Issei-san kept saying that to me, but I almost tore this place apart just for his sake. People could have died.

Retasu...listen to me.

I once reduced a close band of friends and allies, most of which I considered family, to a bleak fate of infighting. I turned my back on one who was like a second father to me, running away from all that I knew and loved...all for the sake of one woman's love. I killed people I once fought alongside and betrayed the trust of the one to whom I swore unbreakable loyalty, all of it for the sake of one woman's love.

...So I think even if only a little, I understand how you feel.

...*sniff* I'm so sorry.

Please don't be sorry. I regret only that fate put me in such a position--I would not change anything I did.

So you... um, you always... ah, d-don't answer that. Everything must have been really hard for you.

Always what? It wasn't easy, but that's alright.

It's better now for you, right?

Yes.

So I have faith you will be alright as well.

Thank you. I'll do my best.
