I keep telling people that this is kind of like a fairy realm, but no one listens to me. [Diarmuid isn't really sure to what to make of Robin's reassurance and continuing to talk about it is just making his head hurt worse, so he stops for now, instead focusing on something that won't make his head pound.]
They say the idea it too old-fashioned or that it's too magical or it's stupid because there are no fairies here. I still think they are wrong...
[He can't understand why Robin wants to go back home when it means dying, but Diarmuid also doesn't know much about the boy's situation. Maybe the Batman he speaks of is a god and can bring people back from the dead? Or maybe the great Justice League has gods who can do that in it. In that case, he should probably go back and wait for them, but does he really have to right away? Why not help people who need it first and then go back?]
I like helping others and if the people here need help so badly they couldn't ask before taking us, I want to help them! Since time isn't moving back home, I don't see why I can't take time to do so either. Helping people is what knights do!
[Even if he is just a bitty knight right now.]
Lots of people like to spar around here including me and my brother! I don't know if I am good enough to spar with you, though. I just got my real swords before coming back here and my brother is still using a practice sword. I'm going to get him a real one soon! Just don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise!
[Not that Robin knows who Diarmuid's brother is, but...]
