I'm more curious about any difference you may have discerned between the two Tohsakas, despite not really knowing either of them.

[faithfulflame]

What little I saw of the ancestor, with the dark hair? She cared about you. The way she looked at you made that clear. She values you, but you already knew that.

It was different than the blonde. Like you'd been through a lot together. Not that you haven't with the one in Cerealia, but without knowing either of them or specifics of what happened to you as the ancestor's servant I'd be hesitant to say anything with certainty.

They like you, I saw that much. But I think the blonde likes you as a partner while the ancestor thinks of you as a companion.

[swordboning]

You might say the black haired one was in love with me, but the one from my past.

[faithfulflame]

Emiya Shirou-san, then. That would make sense, given the conversation.

[swordboning]

Obviously. It's not a difficult thing to guess when you have the context.

[faithfulflame]

No, it's not.

And you've never heard of this phenomenon happening before, then? So blocking the dreams is unlikely...

[swordboning]

I don't have a cure for you, no.

[faithfulflame]

Sorry, then. Because it'll likely continue.

[It's more you she's worried about.]

Thanks for doing the cooking, while I was out. I didn't expect the sealing to knock me out so completely.

[swordboning]

It's the least I can do. Even if Rin returns, you can expect this service. Though with your girlfriend around, I suppose you appreciate it.

[faithfulflame]

It makes life easier on myself, Minako, and Ami, yes. Though if Makoto-chan arrives at some point, I'd ask you to stop. Cooking is her favorite thing to do, especially for us.

[She sits at the table, finally.]

The lessons on the Reinforcement spell are equally appreciated, you know. I've never had the chance to learn anything like that at home, that wasn't self taught. Magecraft is all but dead, outside of the Senshi.

[swordboning]

I don't need thanks. As a matter of fact, that's the last thing I want.

[faithfulflame]

Fine. Then I'll just use your lessons, and eat your cooking to become more capable than I am now. How's that.

[swordboning]

I'll find that satisfactory. Actions speak much louder than words.
