Let it be known that Diarmuid Ua Duibhne has sworn off of the cláirseach.
[A pause- and then he sighs. No, that's far too weak willed for his liking; if he were to give up now, he'd never be able to look at another harp again. What started as a faint interest in rekindling his connection to his father has turned into an endless string of headaches and sore fingers but he's nothing if notmasochistic stubborn.]
... at least, temporarily. In the meantime, does anyone know how to restring this godsforsaken thing? Harps are so damned- [As if in objection to whatever insult he was about to throw its way, Diarmuid is interrupted by the sharp twang of another string snapping.] I might need a tutor.

Ah, I see! My father attempted the same with me but without much success. [There's the hint of a smile in his voice.] Don't take this the wrong way but I can't imagine you playing a lyre.
[Maybe a very big one.]

Well, I must admit I was a horrible student, always much more interested in fighting than music but my teacher, Lysimachus, was not a man easily discouraged. I think the fact my father had little patience for people in his employ that failed to produce results contributed significantly to his relentlessness.
[Iskandar laughs at that failure of imagination on Diarmuid's part.]
I don't blame you. I was only ten years old then, so several sizes smaller. I might need a custom made one today.
[It doesn't mean he's unable to handle delicate ... items with care now. Just ask Waver.]
