That would be giving it away.
[Shaking his head and walking over to the bed.]
Let's at least sit down.

Athena is still a fledgling lawyer and has a great deal to learn. But yes, I trust her, so I see your point.
Perhaps I'll ask Rin about it sometime, if she's willing to discuss her past.

Tired of me hanging on? [ Once he's near the bed, she's swinging off and landing on it rather skillfully for someone who was just mimicking a sloth. ]
It's all right to express that you don't want me to do this, you know. I think as my boyfriend you have more sway than as my Servant.

No, I'm just making sure you're in a more convenient spot, that's all.
[Still if she just chilling, that's cool.]
I've already made up my mind. There's no sense in taking it any further.

[ Yes, just chilling with her hands in her lap to keep her skirt pinned down and everything. ]
No, there's no sense in it. However that's what a relationship is all about.
Committing nonsensical acts for the person you care for. [ Carefully avoiding the l-word now. ]

Like punching someone your Servant got in a fight with?
[Standing up in front of the bed. Mostly so he can make sure she doesn't sneak attack him for 6x damage.]
That was definitely nonsensical.
[Never mind that Archer probably would have been more violent. Ssshhh.]

Or maybe she hasn't done anything because she realized how idiotic it was in the first place. But you're more than free to keep thinking like that.
[He stops to stare.]
Go ahead and do what you need to do. That's my final word on the matter.

Of course I'm not okay with all the possibilities. That just happens to be the nature of taking risks. The cost-benefit ratio here is far more favorable for the benefits.
There may be an outcome I sincerely dislike but I know how to keep those feelings in check.

[Letting it just whack off him. ARCHER IS STALWART IN THE FACE OF DANGER.]
Fine, if that's what you want to hear. If you were hurt, harmed, or had your memory tampered with in any way, I would probably be emotionally compromised to say the least. And I refuse to be responsible for any of the resulting destruction caused to the guilty party.

Of course I'm saying I would be hurt! What else would I be implying and there's no other way I would feel.
[Seriously grumbling over here. This is not how he'd like to be seen at all.]

[No sense in disobeying. He takes a seat on the side of the bed. There's no avoiding danger through distance now so he may as well completely give in.]

[ Which means she's pulling herself into his lap and giving him a soft kiss once she's settled in. A rather mature and bold move compared to her usual though that's just the way she is. Ever adapting to her situation. ]
Hey.
I wouldn't do this if I thought it was a bad idea.

[Good, good. He just gently wraps his arms around her. Despite treating her like a precious baby, it's still firmly in place for the moment. No sense in escaping.]
I know. Which is why I'm still putting my trust in that.

[Sighing internally now. Is that really what she jumped to?]
...is that the first thing you had to jump to?

[He's pretty blank faced on this. Mostly because he's trying to come up with a way to reply. A way that doesn't make him seem like a gigantic loser (well, a gigantic loser in Emiya terms).]
I'm concerned that you'll forget that I care for you.
...love even. [Absolutely nailed it.]

[Thankfully, he's still holding onto her.]
At least you know now, if you didn't already.
