[ HE ISN'T DENYING IT OUTRIGHT. She may be fretting a little on the inside. ]

I wouldn't believe you anyway. Who would want to kiss you much less have sex with you?

[swordboning]

I've never taken the time to ask. Since you bring it up, I think I should take the time to find out.

[codere]

What do you mean by that?!

[ He wouldn't dare ask the network. That's a post she would remove instantly upon seeing the alert. ]

[swordboning]

Aside from you, it's never really crossed my mind. I'm almost curious at this point.

[codere]

You're not curious. [ Shoving her mouth full and speaking while there's still food present. ]

You're not curious at all.

What a stupid thing to be curious about if you were. Are you daft, Archer? If so, then you may just be curious about this stupid thing which absolutely no one else would be curious about in the slightest!

[swordboning]

That sounds less like a statement and more like a dictation.

I'll ask around.

[codere]

Stupid! [ Fine, he can ask around. ]

I'll do the same.

I imagine there would be more people willing to have sex with me than they would with you.

[swordboning]

That's a poor attempt to make me jealous. Nearly every guy would probably not admit it but wouldn't turn down a chance with you. I'm not under some ridiculous illusion that you're unattractive.

[codere]

Women too. [ Just saying. ]

I wouldn't be foolish enough to try to make you jealous anyway. If someone said they liked me and you approved of them, I bet you would try to push us together instead of remaining at my side.

[swordboning]

You have a mistaken view of what I would do.

Namely that I would never approve of anyone to be with you. I may allow you to do what you wish but there is one truth to be had. I can find no one more perfect as a partner than you.

[codere]

Eh? [ That's too sincere of a thing for him to say. ]

S-Shut up. [ Because that's the appropriate thing to say in return. ] You can't be serious.

[swordboning]

No, I happen to be pretty serious when I say that.

[S-A-P-P-Y.

Thankfully Rin doesn't seem to mind in her tsundere way.]

[codere]

[ She'd stare at him in disgust but this food is really too good. If she could though, she would. ]

You're being stupid.

[swordboning]

When am I known for being anything but?

[codere]

When you're being reliable. [ Which is far better than being stupid!! ]

[swordboning]

Give me a percentage on how often I am reliable versus how often I'm stupid.

[codere]

That's not an easy thing to calculate since whenever you're being stupid, you're also reliable. In fact, it could be said that you're reliable above all else at least in regards to my welfare.

[ Towards others? Who knows. ]

[swordboning]

I'm glad to hear that compliment. As a Servant, there's really no higher praise. As something more, hm...

[codere]

What are you hoping I'll say?

[ Rin asks, watching him carefully. ] That you're clever? I wouldn't be caught alive admitting that you've bested me.

[swordboning]

I wasn't hoping for anything. I was just wondering if you'd get defensive and try to fill it in yourself.

[codere]

[ Hmph. ] I'm certain of the things I say when I say them so really you shouldn't resort to juvenile behavior.

[ Now she's defensive but only because she was a fraction of a second away from praising him endlessly. ]

[swordboning]

Does that mean you won't continue then?

[codere]

It means I'm tired of speaking with you.

[ There's no winning in this little debate of his so she won't continue to pursue it.

Didn't take her long at all to revert to her childish whims. ]
