He's nothing. He's not even a knight now... [Diarmuid doesn't know if Donn is still alive, and he finds that he doesn't even care. That is a surprisingly strong negative feeling toward someone for a child as loving and trusting as this one is.]
Oh! I didn't realize you were that new to the city! Are there any questions I can help you with? I came here with the first group of people. That was over a year ago! I know a lot of things even though I am just a little knight!
[Of course, when Robin mentions that he is dead and how it happened, all the color drains out of Diarmuid's face and he steps forward ready to wrap the older boy in a hug. The only thing that stops him is the fact that he has Lir in his arms, and he would have to drop the pokemon to do it.]
Why? Why would your family do that to you?
[And why does the idea of one family member killing another cause Diarmuid's head to hurt so much?]
That's not right! Not right at all! It's good you are here now. It's safe here! You can be happy and help people here! You won't have to worry about...that anymore! [He means being dead, but it's hard for him to say it so he doesn't.]
I don't know what Pur-gat-or-i-o is, but if you don't like hugging, there are other things you can do! You can shake someone's hand or spar with them! I spar with people sometimes and that is all the contact they need.
