Yes, it'll be fine. Trust me.

TEXT

[codere]

I trust you.
If I change my mind any, you'll be here waiting for me.

TEXT

[swordboning]

If you need me to pick you up, just let me know.

TEXT

[codere]

It'll be ok.
If I have the tea to help me sleep, then no one will think I'm weird.
Maybe we won't sleep any at all.
It is a sleepover.

[swordboning]

You're thinking too hard about it. And Saber won't allow anyone to think badly of her Master while she's around.

TEXT

[codere]

Of course I'm thinking too hard about it !!
If I mess this one up, I'll never be invited to anything ever again.
I'll be a social outcast !!
A L O S E R ! ! ! ! !

[Sighing externally]

You're attractive and you're definitely not a boring person. Those two things alone would keep you from being an outcast as long as you didn't push others away.

TEXT

[codere]

If I was so attractive, how come I've only been on one date?
Two if you count the one I went on with Saber, but I don't think that one counts.

TEXT

[swordboning]

And I need to take you on one too, yes. The problem is, you push people away. And I'm usually around, which probably scares off people.

TEXT

[codere]

I DON'T PUSH PEOPLE AWAY.
ONLY THE STUPID PEOPLE.

Which just happens to be every single person CERES has rescued so far.

TEXT

[swordboning]

For your own sake, please try lowering your standards. You don't want to end up like me, do you, with half of this place hating you.

TEXT

[codere]

I won't lower my standards.

Let's make an agreement, Archer.

TEXT

[swordboning]

Another one? What is it?

TEXT

[codere]

I'll attend this party without my usual standards.
Meaning I'll be polite and willing to speak to others.

If you'll make things right with Saber.

TEXT

[swordboning]

Do you have a plan for that or am I supposed to figure it out on my own?

TEXT

[codere]

Her concerns with you are of things of the past.
We've known each other for a few weeks now so we should be able to move beyond that.
I wish I could say I have a plan.

TEXT

[swordboning]

I'll accept that deal but I won't guarantee any outcome.

TEXT

[codere]

Just as I can't guarantee I'll make any friends.

TEXT

[swordboning]

We'll both have to promise to do our best.

TEXT

[codere]

It's a promise.
Let's both try our hardest, Archer.
