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

[swordboning]

Everyone needs to be protected at some point.

[Which means Rin should save his ass sometime too.]

I'm focusing my attention on you, though.

[codere]

Everyone, huh?

[ Gently running a hand along his chest. ] I understand.

There's a new level in ViViD I wanted to try. We should go sometime after all this ball and holiday stuff.

[swordboning]

Hearing both suggests something ominous. Like you want me to get in trouble in the game and you can swoop to my rescue.

[Not fighting her. Oh no, instead, he's still working on getting her hair brushed. Just from a different angle.]

[codere]

[ Lowering her head so it's a bit easier, she just rests there. ]

No, it's nothing along those lines. I think it's an experienced level, but I didn't want to try solo player on something of that caliber.

[swordboning]

Why don't we jump to the most difficult level and bring Saber along too? Between the three of us, we're fairly invulnerable.

[codere]

[ The day that Rin saves both Saber and Archer. The true knight out of the three. ]

All right. Between the three of us we should be able to get enough rewards for clearing it quickly.

[swordboning]

It's settled. Now...

[Getting up so he can lay Rin back down properly.]

[codere]

[ Oh right, he's forcing her to go to sleep. Pouting a bit, she moves back into position under the covers and rests there. ]

Geez, you're so persistent about me getting enough rest.

[swordboning]

Because you're spoiled enough as is. I need to be able to get you to do something.

[And this was a perfectly fine option.]

[codere]

Isn't a princess supposed to be spoiled? [ Grump grump right into her pillow. ]

[swordboning]

Which is why I'm not complaining too much.

[Taking a seat beside Rin on the side of the bed.]

[codere]

[ Turning to make sure she's facing him. ] Hey Archer?

Did you celebrate Christmas when you were alive?

[swordboning]

....I did.

[Just that. A simple answer.]

[codere]

Oh. [ She wasn't expecting that. ]

Okay.

I just wanted to know.

[swordboning]

[Leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek.

And then shoving her over a bit.]

Make some room for me.

[codere]

Don't call me fat. [ Scooting over for him, but only enough so he'll have to still lay in close to her. ]

[swordboning]

I never said anything of the sort. But I suppose your chest and rear are bigger than your counterpart's.

[AKA: The other Rin. Undeniable fact. Said so casually while sliding under the covers.]

[codere]

Wha-? You can really compare us that way?

[ She's going to die of embarrassment now. ]

[swordboning]

I was simply pointing out the differences.

[codere]

It's probably because I'm more mature than her. If she was close to Miss Sakura and Emiya in age, then I'm likely older than her.

[ Of course she tries to rationalize his compliment. ]

[swordboning]

About a year older than Sakura. But that point is long gone. I doubt she could develop anymore, really. You have the advantage there.

[Said while all cuddled up beside her. Terrible.]

[codere]

[ She's going to die. ] B-But I'm still developing here, aren't I?

[swordboning]

Are you? If I had a year to judge, I'd be able to tell you. So, at the moment, it's up to you.

[codere]

I, I can't answer that right now when I should be sleeping!

[ There's his answer. ]

[swordboning]

Then I'll make a suggestion. Go to sleep.

[It's fine, see. He puts an arm around her.]

You'll be safe tonight.

[Just like any other night, really. NOT THE POINT THOUGH.]
