WHERE: Bookstore
RATING: PG-13 for now.

[ The night before was a failure. She left Diarmuid by himself to chase after his shadow, but was left with nothing but guilt for abandoning him. Tonight though she was prepared all while keeping an eye out for any of the other potential Shadows she had been told about.

Perhaps it was stupid of her to be out on her own, but she cared not. Sitting alone in the bookstore, lights turned off, she waits for the clock to strike midnight. She may have dozed off sometime before then though. ]

No good. Such an action will only break me. I do not take kindly to my knights being harmed.

[croibhristeoir]

I am your knight. He is nothing but a copy, a weak and pathetic self that can't even confess his love for fear of rejection.

I am without fear. Without hesitation. And yet we are the same.

[ex_cashcow493]

Yet, you hesitate even now. You are the one that is nothing more than a copy. A shadow in guise under my closest of allies with the intent to cause malice.

[croibhristeoir]

Malice? Arturia, if I wished to harm you would you not be dead right now?

[ex_cashcow493]

You speak as though you can defeat me.

[croibhristeoir]

I did exactly that in our last match here.

[ex_cashcow493]

And I am not foolish enough to permit you to defeat me a second time.

[croibhristeoir]

My point remains that I do not intend to cause you pain.

[ex_cashcow493]

Yet you approach me with the ideal of killing my comrade within this place.

[croibhristeoir]

I am your comrade. Why don't you understand that?

[ex_cashcow493]

You are not real.

[ But that pain in her chest was. ]

Damn it. I tire of this conversation.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm sorry. How can I make you happy, Arturia? I clearly only have value if I can make people happy.

[ex_cashcow493]

You cannot.

[croibhristeoir]

Then should I not just die? What point do I have if I can't make people happy?

[ex_cashcow493]

Did you not make your w--ugh, Diarmuid's wife happy at one point?

[croibhristeoir]

That was a very long time ago. What am I to do now?

[ex_cashcow493]

Work on making yourself happy.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't deserve happiness.

[ex_cashcow493]

I say otherwise.

[croibhristeoir]

You're wrong. I don't deserve to be happy and it's selfish of me to try.

[ex_cashcow493]

Then I will spend all of my time here convincing your true self otherwise.

[croibhristeoir]

I am a Shadow, the true self. I am Diarmuid Ua Duibhne and he is me--we are one and the same.

[ex_cashcow493]

So if I can convince you of it, then he will be convinced as well?

[croibhristeoir]

You can't convince me that the truth is a lie, Arturia.

[ex_cashcow493]

I will convince you that your idea of the truth is a lie.
