...you've reached Archer. Leave a message and if it's suitable, I'll get back to you.

[swordboning]

It's fine. I doubt there would be a problem either way.

[Yeah, sit back, eat, and watch yo movies.]

She doesn't have a leash attached to me in that manner.

[poised]

[She will, thank you. Archer continues to prove his househusband status.]

I merely hope that she's faring well. I noticed that Saber doesn't appear to be in our company any longer, after all...

[swordboning]

Try not to bring that up.

[THE UNTOUCHABLE TOPIC. Especially around Rin and Archer.]

Rin is fine. If she has any issues that need your help, I'll ask.

[poised]

And if you have any issues that need my help?

[She says as she keeps eating chicken soup prepared by him.

Who needs help here, Natalia.]

[swordboning]

What I need help with is you getting better. Which worrying about others doesn't help.

[poised]

I'll get better in due time.

[That much she sounds certain about, though she does sigh.]

But I suppose I'm merely curious... You are faring well, aren't you?

[swordboning]

Again, don't concern yourself with others until you're in a position to do so.

[He's always fine. ALWAYS.]

[poised]

That wasn't a yes.

[asshole]

[swordboning]

It wasn't a yes because I'm refusing to answer your questions. Ask them later.

[poised]

That's entirely unfair. What's wrong with now?

[She says before she's interrupted by a coughing fit.]

[swordboning]

That's exactly what's wrong with now. You can't sympathize with others when you're worrying about yourself.

[poised]

That sounds quite a bit like underestimating my ability to multi-task.

[an offended sniff]

[swordboning]

I could just say I'm dodging your questions until a later date when another excuse is handy. But I doubt you'd like that.

[poised]

Well at least that's more honest.

Though I don't see why dodging my questions is necessary either.

[swordboning]

That's the nature of being a friend with me. I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it.

[poised]

At what point do you cease dodging questions?

[swordboning]

That sounds like something you'll have to work on. But you not being sick would be a good hurdle to pass.

[poised]

Hmph....

[She doesn't like that answer but at least she's finished the soup for now and moves to put it on the coffee table. Then it's curling up on the couch and pulling a blanket up to ward off a chill.]

Then make yourself useful and pick another movie.

[swordboning]

I'll just go with whatever you like. Chances are, the drama will be boring and the acting plastic. It may as well be something you prefer so the limitless bad choices won't be my fault.

[poised]

Pick another movie, Archer.

[she's picked too many by now........]

[swordboning]

[SHRUGGING.

And grabbing the nearest action movie. Sorry, Natalia, but it's what you requested.]

[poised]

[It's fine... She'll probably fall asleep at some point somehow anyway.

Regardless, she can't help but comment--]

You like this sort of thing? Just more fighting?

[swordboning]

It's all fake, certainly, but at least it's not romantic sap.

[If Natalia likes that stuff, whoops.]

[poised]

You don't have a single romantic bone in your body, do you?

[She says as she claims one of the many pillows on the couch to rest her head on. Yeah, this movie is reading snoozefest to her for now.

Buffoons punching each other, blah blah blah.]

[swordboning]

That kind of thing is reserved for Rin. I'm sure you won't ask me to discuss that since it's 'girl talk'.
