If you need to hide your face, I think any part of my upper body is big enough for that.

[While sickeningly gross, it's like he's welcoming her to do it in public too.]

[codere]

[ Now she's really embarrassed as she turns around to face him just enough to hide her face into his chest. What an uncomfortable position for them both. ]

I wasn't prepared for that, Archer!

[swordboning]

[Uncomfortable. Until he wraps his arms around her.

Definitely a smooth player. Almost like he expected this!]

[codere]

[ He's just trying to coax her into this stuff now, isn't he? ]

What if I did this while we were out? You'd be embarrassed.

[swordboning]

Or maybe I'd just prefer to protect you. That an instinct of a lover, I'm sure.

[codere]

Do I really need protecting? [ Yes. ]

I've survived a lot more than most of the stupid people. They could probably use this attention more than me.

[swordboning]

Everyone needs to be protected at some point.

[Which means Rin should save his ass sometime too.]

I'm focusing my attention on you, though.

[codere]

Everyone, huh?

[ Gently running a hand along his chest. ] I understand.

There's a new level in ViViD I wanted to try. We should go sometime after all this ball and holiday stuff.

[swordboning]

Hearing both suggests something ominous. Like you want me to get in trouble in the game and you can swoop to my rescue.

[Not fighting her. Oh no, instead, he's still working on getting her hair brushed. Just from a different angle.]

[codere]

[ Lowering her head so it's a bit easier, she just rests there. ]

No, it's nothing along those lines. I think it's an experienced level, but I didn't want to try solo player on something of that caliber.

[swordboning]

Why don't we jump to the most difficult level and bring Saber along too? Between the three of us, we're fairly invulnerable.

[codere]

[ The day that Rin saves both Saber and Archer. The true knight out of the three. ]

All right. Between the three of us we should be able to get enough rewards for clearing it quickly.

[swordboning]

It's settled. Now...

[Getting up so he can lay Rin back down properly.]

[codere]

[ Oh right, he's forcing her to go to sleep. Pouting a bit, she moves back into position under the covers and rests there. ]

Geez, you're so persistent about me getting enough rest.

[swordboning]

Because you're spoiled enough as is. I need to be able to get you to do something.

[And this was a perfectly fine option.]

[codere]

Isn't a princess supposed to be spoiled? [ Grump grump right into her pillow. ]

[swordboning]

Which is why I'm not complaining too much.

[Taking a seat beside Rin on the side of the bed.]

[codere]

[ Turning to make sure she's facing him. ] Hey Archer?

Did you celebrate Christmas when you were alive?

[swordboning]

....I did.

[Just that. A simple answer.]

[codere]

Oh. [ She wasn't expecting that. ]

Okay.

I just wanted to know.

[swordboning]

[Leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek.

And then shoving her over a bit.]

Make some room for me.

[codere]

Don't call me fat. [ Scooting over for him, but only enough so he'll have to still lay in close to her. ]

[swordboning]

I never said anything of the sort. But I suppose your chest and rear are bigger than your counterpart's.

[AKA: The other Rin. Undeniable fact. Said so casually while sliding under the covers.]

[codere]

Wha-? You can really compare us that way?

[ She's going to die of embarrassment now. ]

[swordboning]

I was simply pointing out the differences.
