Waver... [He broke the silence with his name, taking a deep breath to steady his hands that he placed on his Master's shoulders.]
Waver, look at me. [He would wait to speak until he was, no matter how painful the expression. Even Diarmuid's reflected the hurt straight back, but his was not born of fear. At least not in the majority.
It was born of his anger and frustration. Of his adoration and appreciation.
Passion and fury.]
Even if I were faced with him again, do you truly think that would stop me from protecting you? You are my Master. And I need you to trust in me. Trust that I will never turn my back on you.
No matter who stands against you. [He held a tremble in his voice back. Ever the treacherous man when it came to Fionn mac Cumhaill. But never against Waver. Never. The grip on Waver's shoulders tightened ever so slightly.]
If you are aware of the mistake that you made, learn from it. When you're in trouble call for me. I will go to you. No matter who or where.
You cannot do this alone. No one man can accomplish what you seek alone. The strongest among us will struggle to conquer an army on his own. So rely on your Saber.
