[codere]

I have a little trouble falling asleep at a reasonable time and I do admit I'm a bit of a slouch when it comes to my downtime...

[ Chewing a little on her lower lip in thought, she pauses to consider her words carefully. ] If I didn't resemble her so much, would you have trusted me? I don't believe you would have.

[ She can't finish that thought. ]

[swordboning]

[Yes, he pushes her forehead with his pointer finger.]

It would be a lie to say it didn't get my attention. But your attitude combined with the way you see things is what made up my mind.

In the end, you're far more ruthless and realistic than her. Which suits me better.

[codere]

[ Stop that, Sasuke. ] I, I don't think that's a kind trait to comment on!

[swordboning]

I consider it a positive thing.

[SHRUGGING.]

Want something to eat?

[Totally deflecting from her original problem.]

[codere]

You can't distract me with food.

[ And then under her breath: ] Even if I do feel better after eating.

[swordboning]

Well, what do you want?

[She can unleash her woes while he's cooking. This was Archer's way of saying he welcomed it.]

[codere]

Melon. [ Surprisingly healthy. ] Maybe an egg sandwich too...

Um, but Archer!

[ Scrambling off of the couch to follow him into the kitchen should he try to retreat in there. ]

Am I really ruthless?

[swordboning]

[Archer reaches into the fridge, no complaints.]

More ruthless than the other, yes. Absolutely, no? I think you'd sacrifice a lot to save your friends. But the Rin I know would do what she could to save innocents, even if it meant endangering her own goals. While it's commendable, it doesn't get results. I believe you would make a more level-headed decision in that regard and would do what you could to benefit more people than who you just see in front of you.

[codere]

[ OH BOY, let's hope he never meets the blank slate Rin fancies. ] Um... something like that, maybe.

[ Someone doesn't believe it herself as she shuffles around in the kitchen, staring hard at the floor. ]

It's why I surround myself with sensible people. I'll leave the heroics to someone like Lee.

[swordboning]

He's better suited for it, at least.

[It requires a lot of idiocy, really.

And yes, SIZZLE SIZZLE cooking while chopping up a certain fruit for a butt.]

[codere]

Mm... so was Emiya. [ Yes, she just went there. ]

[swordboning]

Yes, he's an idiot too. Is there a point you're trying to make with that?

[Not even taking the bait.]

[codere]

I just wonder if the same could be said of you, is all.

[ Is there a part of him that's still an idiot? Who knoooows. ]

[swordboning]

Am I an idiot? I won't argue that.

After all, I'm stuck in this place cooking food for other people and am generally satisfied with it. Something only an idiot would do.
