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

[swordboning]

That's a difficult question. The answer is no. But frankly, that's because you and her would be too busy fighting to spend time with anyone.

On the off chance that the two of you would somehow get past trying to claim sole dominion over me, I'd give her some of my time without sacrificing any previous responsibilities.

[codere]

Do you think we really couldn't get along with each other ??
That's not very fair to say.

I'd want you to return to her if that's what you would want.
It's important to be with the one you've saved.

[swordboning]

I've already made my choice, which is why I'm still here bugging you about going away too long.

Besides, I'm not forcing you to make a choice. I'm just kidnapping you for a single night and you can run back and bother whomever you want once I've made sure you've slept and eaten properly. If it goes on too long, I may get jealous but we've just started discussing this.

[codere]

I'm just excited to see him here.
You're right however.

He's a Heroic Spirit so he wouldn't think of things like my health whereas you do.
Once I'm sure he's settled in, things will resume as normal.

It isn't a choice.
I was just curious how you would handle things.

[swordboning]

Try not to treat me as an unobservant idiot, by the way.

[Sarcasm is hard over text.]

I know who you plan on seeing simply by your reaction. Ask him if he knows me, and if he does, send him my regards for him and his hounds.

And if he does know me, I won't promise to get along with him. We still have unsettled business. When that's done, I can at least see him being a tolerable person to spend time with as long as he keeps his hands off you.

[codere]

Of course he'd know you.
You were Hakuno's Servant during that time.

I don't understand your business, but if you're afraid of me getting in-between I'll tell you that I'm not going to.
You do what you need to, Archer.
I'll support you however I can.

[swordboning]

The Lancer I know has something of a grudge against me. And I, the same. But during our last fight, he went full out against me and I had no way of doing the same in return as I had no Master. Despite that, I managed to survive his Noble Phantasm, which is something of an insult.

If he still possesses those memories, he'll want to settle things because he has a distorted sense of honor. I'm simply giving you a fair warning.

[codere]

So long as you manage to survive it again, I won't complain.
It'd be troublesome if you both died and I wasn't even the source of the fight.

[ On the other hand, it's okay for them to kill each other if they're fighting over her. ]

[swordboning]

I have no intention of killing him. If I were to be victorious, I'd rather force him to pledge loyalty to you. I've already calculated that he'd be far better as an ally than a tense neutral or an enemy.

No, the goal would be to use your power to its maximum so he would be impressed enough to know which side would have far more glory.

Though, if it is about you, I apologize for any skullduggery I will commit to end his life.

[codere]

You'd kill him for me ??
That seems a bit unnecessary.

From what I've been told, people don't die here in the first place.
I'd like to confirm it just not with Lancer's head.

[swordboning]

I'd remove anyone who tried something with you without my knowledge or consent. Don't think it's specific to him. I just know how he is so the likelihood is higher.

[codere]

Tried something with me ??
Like what ??

[swordboning]

Things a significant other wouldn't approve of. I'll let you stew on that.

[codere]

It was fine when Saber did it.
Was it because she was a girl ??

[swordboning]

First, did you and Saber ever even do anything? Secondly, I know she wouldn't do things out of spite. Third, did I object when you spouted to me that you were dating her?

You'd be surprised what I would tolerate as long as I'm aware of a certain few things.

[codere]

So what ??
Do you want a closed relationship suddenly instead of being open ??

[ Also not answering him.

RIN DOESN'T KISS AND TELL. ]

[swordboning]

I'm not interested in an open relationship at all since there's no one I'm interested in outside of you.

But I don't mind what you do as long as I'm aware of two things. That I'm not going to be tossed to the side and that you give me an idea of what you're doing instead of mysteriously vanishing.

Since I doubt we'll have a problem on either front, like I said, you'll find me tolerant. But I'll admit to having a slight bias against Lancer.

[codere]

I have no interest in Lancer that way.
He saved my life when we were denied our win.
It's hard to explain, but he's a fair guy so it pisses me off that he was treated unfairly.

If I'm the only one for you, then you'll be the only one for me.
It's that simple.

[swordboning]

...hmph.

I won't deny that he has his own sense of honor. He did save my Master in my war too.

I'll accept your reasoning, Rin.

[codere]

Are you worried you'll not be able to satisfy me entirely on your own ??
I believe you can.

It's important to me that I make his life here as pleasant as I can because I wouldn't be here without him.

[swordboning]

[Conveniently skipping the first question.]

Like I said, I'll accept that. And if you wish for it, I'll help.

[Although he won't promise not to insult Lancer every opportunity he gets.

He has to get some joy out of it.]

[codere]

[ Lancer probably enjoys it anyway. ]

There's one more person I need to come here.
One more and then I'll take over this colony.

[swordboning]

Let me guess. The person who is my Master that I don't know about?

[codere]

That's right.
I'm afraid if I retaliate against CERES now, they'll stop bringing in fresh blood.

[swordboning]

Then I have a serious question for you. If offered the choice, would you intentionally bring her here?
