... I don't push you hard enough?
You're the one pushing me too hard?

Which one is it? [ Rin asks quietly, unsure. ]

[swordboning]

I worry that I'm pushing you too hard. How many changes have you had to make because of me?

[codere]

It's flattering really. I've grown so used to not being able to take care of myself that having someone around to nag at me to do just that is nice.

If it gets to be too much, I'll just tell you to shut up.

[swordboning]

I'll accept that as long as you don't worry about me in return.

[Seems like a fair deal?]

[codere]

I can't accept that. It's the Master's duty to look after their Servant no matter how troublesome it is.

[ Plus Rin has a habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Constantly. ]

[swordboning]

Then how are we supposed to settle this?

[codere]

The usual way.

You do as I say and let me continue to do as I please.

[swordboning]

Don't you think it's a little stuck up to think that I let you do whatever you want?

[codere]

Is it stuck up when it's precedence? I get my way most if not all the time.

[ So she thinks. ]

[swordboning]

Which is why you don't eat as much junk food and don't act like a lump on the couch, hm?

[codere]

If I didn't think so highly of you, then I would continue to act as I have been. What do you think Emiya was doing while he was here?

[ NOW SHE'S DONE IT. ]

[swordboning]

Being an idiot who was doing things I could have done better.

[codere]

That's right. I kept kicking him out and arguing with him so he would just go home!

[ Hmph. ] Because I know how much taking care of me cheers you up, stupid.

[swordboning]

[Just silent while working on this stuff.

Totally silent.

No, that is not a very small smile on his face if Rin looks over. Nope.]

[codere]

Why did you force him to do that in the first place? Were you scared I was lonely or something?

If I got too bored, I'd just go visit you at work. [ She's that rude and disruptive. ]

[swordboning]

He may be a moron but he can be a good influence. I'd know.

[He's definitely know.]

I'd rather you didn't get me fired though.

[codere]

[ ... she did end up trusting him a lot though so there's that. If anything, he can say she's made a friend here. ]

He's not that bad. Sometimes when I feel I have to say something that I can't tell you or Saber, I talk to him.

[swordboning]

Sakura probably hears everything you tell him.

[codere]

WHAT.

Archer!

You should go and permanently silence Emiya so he can never tell Miss Sakura a thing I've said! She's going to think I'm a weak ancestor. And what about all the times I threatened to have sex with him?!

[ She didn't actually threaten to have sex with him. Just told him it was never going to happen. ]

[swordboning]

....I realize it's none of my business but did you actually sincerely threaten him with that?

[codere]

NO.

But he's a boy so that's probably how he took it!

[swordboning]

Let me explain to you something about him. Once he sets his eyes on a girl, he can't see any other girl in the same way. He probably has zero interest in you at all in that fashion.

[Sadly, it's absolutely true of Archer too.]

[codere]

He's the one who felt uncomfortable about me sleeping in the apartment while he was doing chores so don't start accusing me of being the one who was trying to seduce him. I have no interest in a dimwitted boy who can't even do a proper emoticon or play a video game!

[swordboning]

It wasn't about you. He was probably more worried about Sakura walking in and getting the wrong idea. Despite her demeanor, she can be rather ferocious. Did you say you were her ancestor? You probably get that from her.

[codere]

[ Tch! ] S-She's really scary, huh?

Her Servant as well... Rider doesn't say much and even on the network, she seems very quiet. Between the two of them, I'd be dead if they got the wrong idea about Emiya and me.

-but Archer! I like you, not the little bitch you used to be! [ Sorry Shirou, that's just how it is. ]
