1/2 cw suicide mention

I got lucky, and he got careless. Or just too arrogant to know better.

[Waver shrugged, back to uneasily wringing his right hand.]

That memory...it isn't what happened. Diarmuid was fighting Berserker, and I went to confront Kayneth in possibly one of the stupidest decisions I've ever made in my life. There was no way in hell I could ever have won in a flat-out fight--I'm still nowhere near as capable as he was. So I tried to catch him by surprise, until he broke the tree I was hiding in. Damn thing fell right on me and snapped my leg. Never healed quite right, which is why I'm the poster child for 'go to the fucking hospital and don't rely on magecraft'.

He had me completely trapped, and he decided to be magnanimous. Said he'd let me live if I withdrew from the war--that is to say, if I ordered Lancer to kill himself and forefeited my right as a Master. Swore it on his Magic Crest, which frankly meant I completely believed he was telling the truth.

Diarmuid's life or mine. Coward that I was, it should have been an easy decision. Then again...I guess it was easy, in a way.
