[It takes quite a bit to make Diarmuid really sad, but all of these strange words are starting to do it. His father would never throw so many odd new things at him at once and thinking of his father reminds him that it might be a long time before he gets to see him or his friend again.
In other words, he's very definitely starting to feel homesick.
He tries to put on a brave face though, still not convinced the other boy is anywhere near right about the people who brought them here.]
Just because you like to look at things and assume they are bad doesn't make it true! The first person I talked to picked me up and asked me nicely if I would help just like the people at home do and none of them are bad. You are just grumpy!
[His face brightens for a moment.]
I should sing for you! Singing makes everyone less grumpy!
