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 not masochistic 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.

[He isn't even going to begin to argue against that. He's only heard a small sampling, but that was enough...]

Your assumption is not incorrect. Music was also an integral part of my education. [How else is one to offer praise to the gods without a bit of song?] But my instrument was my own voice.

[With lungs like his...]

Not from a lack of interest mind you. I have always held a great admiration for those gifted with such talents! But, unfortunately, I lacked the time to train in anything else and even as a child, I was not satisfied to do anything with only half-efforts.

[Minor consequence of being raised to continue bringing an entire empire from the brink of collapse and to greater glory than it's ever known. Musical education gets to be a bit of a backburner.]
