It's not as if I'm insecure and just asking because of that !!

[ She has a Complex. ]

[swordboning]

So I'm in a lose/lose situation. If I find Saber cute, you'll think I prefer her over you. If I don't find her cute, there's obviously something wrong with me.

Does that explain it well enough?

[codere]

No !!
If you find me cuter than Saber, then I won't have to worry about competition.

[swordboning]

Fine. Saber is cute but you're far more cuter than her.

[codere]

Am I the cutest one here ??

[ She knows she is already. ]

[swordboning]

Possibly.

[Now he's just being a butt.]

[codere]

I have competition ??
It's that little girl, isn't it ??
I knew you liked her more than me.

[swordboning]

No, it's not that person.

[codere]

Is it Athena ??

[swordboning]

She's an idiot. Someone decent enough to spend time with but still an idiot.

Her name is Mary.

[codere]

I knew it !!
A girl with a traditional name like that is too cute for a traditional guy like you !!

[ If he's home, she's throwing the biggest tantrum right now.

... she doesn't even know who this Mary is okay. ]

[swordboning]

Do you mind if I give an explanation before you go running to where she lives and attempt to murder her?

[codere]

I'm not going to murder her.

[ Probably. ]

[swordboning]

The thought crossed your mind.

Either way, I have a sister. You probably didn't know that. This Mary, she's the spitting image of her. And somewhat around the same age physically, so don't worry about me being interested in her.

[codere]

You're right.
I didn't know that.

What was your sister's name ??

[swordboning]

[Wow, there's a long pause before he replies.]

Illya.

[codere]

That's a pretty name.
Little sister ??

[swordboning]

That's a difficult question. In that idiot's time, she looks much younger than the idiot but is actually older than him. So technically, she's an older sister, even if she is perpetually looking 12 years old.

[codere]

No wonder you want to disassociate from your past.
It seems pretty convoluted at times.

That's what I don't really understand about you, Archer.
You want to distance yourself from your past.
Buuuuuut your past rules your thoughts and actions now.

[swordboning]

People often dislike their past. But as much as they hate it, they can't deny that it guides their life. That's what experiences are.

[codere]

I don't dislike my past.
It doesn't guide my life.

People can change their fate if they have enough willpower to do so.

[swordboning]

Now you're lying to yourself. It may not guide your life but even you have to admit that you take actions based on what you've previously experienced.

[codere]

Do you have any proof of that or are you just trying to say things in order to appear enlightened ??
Your experience isn't my experience.

[swordboning]

What I should say is better to say in person. So I won't. I'll save it for a time we're together. So how about later?

[codere]

You're just trying to avoid the conversation.
Fine.

We'll talk later.
