goshdarnspam | IT'S TIME FOR THE...

[ It's just as well. He is definitely not ready to confront the fact that she knows. He is, however, ready to address the matter of breakfast. ]

...Rin.

I don't believe you're even used to having breakfast every day.

[ He's kind of getting this out through gritted teeth, though, as if it's hard for him to say.

Psychosomatic command seals are a thing, apparently. ]

[ When that comes up, she's sure to chew him out for how much pain she was in during that one scene. Yes, she'll hold him responsible for something he might have not done. Welcome to Rin Tohsaka and her grudge. ]

I could get used to it though.

[ A shrug. ] Since you're going to have to cook for yourself, why not make a bit extra for someone you admire?

I suppose I'll need someone to feed the extra too if I burn something.

[ He's not going to burn anything. Before swords, cooking was his first love. ]

[ Twitch. ] I'm not eating your rejected scraps, Archer.

I guess I did want to start another diet, so not eating will work more to my benefit. If I was to be weak whenever a fight presented itself though...

[ When all else fails: guilt trips. ]

[ Oh... ]

You'll have to wake up while it's still hot.

[ Erk, that's a challenge in itself. ]

It's your responsibility to make sure I wake up in time.

[ Alarm clocks and her don't mix well after all. ]

I see. So you're giving me free rein in my methods.

[ Yanked blankets. Ice water. Three cats dropped on her head at once? ]

[ Sorry, but the only person who gets topped by pussy is Archer. ]

There's something I can't trust about you when you word it like that.

[ And he doesn't even get any. ]

I'm hurt if you can't trust me, Master.

[ Isn't it sad, Archer? ]

When have you ever given me a good reason to believe you?

[ --actually, he kind of pauses on this one, because there's something about that question that doesn't ring quite right to him. For all that he's fallen so easily into being her Servant and can't imagine anything else--she's only known him for a few days, right? Hmm. ]

Ah, well, it's true. I haven't had very many chances.

Huh?

[ The way he phrases that bothers her, leaving her to weigh if it's just her imagination or if there was something off with Archer. Concluding it had to be his fault (because nothing is ever wrong when it comes to her perfection), she shakes her head. ]

And the chances you did have, you fouled up on. Don't think I'm going to forgive you just because we had a touching moment.

[ Even if she forgave him at the time. She's taking it back because a) he's a butt and b) he's here right now so it invalidates that whole scene!!

Also c) because she's difficult. ]

--a touching moment?

[ It's not like he has any problem believing that he had a bunch of chances he wasn't aware of and fouled up on them. Screwing up is just what he does, after all, even if he doesn't like to admit it in front of Rin. But what's this about a touching moment? That wouldn't have happened. He's sure of it.

--he has a bad feeling. ]

Rin. What's the last date you remember it being?

[ Leer. ] I'm not telling you that!

Geez, I know you have a poor memory, what with you being unable to remember your identity or anything useful related to yourself as a Servant... [ Yeah, the guy who projects weapons identically just from memory sucks at it. ] Are you going to tell me something ridiculous like I'm involved in some sort of time skip?

[ Rin's not sure if she wants to be involved in the future. ~~Her future self might be madly in love with Shirou or something lame.~~ ]

[ ~~But let's be honest, wacky fanservice sequel issues aside, Rin is definitely not the one with the worst deal when it comes to future selves.~~

He sighs. ]

I hate to disappoint again, since it's already bad enough I'm not Saber. But I'm going to tell you that before I came here I'd only been your Servant for two days.

[ Funny how it feels like it couldn't have been that short a time. Rin just leaves that much of an impression. ]

Hm... this must be a side-effect of Second Magic. I don't like dealing with this kind of situation.

[ Ufufu. ] Oh but I have this new found power of you. Your future lies within my mind. I could spoil it all for you or just keep it to myself.

[ She seems to be enjoying this way more than she should. Archer, think about your life choices. ]

Well, it is more your sort of situation than mine. I can't help, unless you need a parallel world where breakfast is different.

[ Oh, he thinks about his life choices all the time. But the outcome is never good. Ever. ]

...you're mistaken, Rin.

Mistaken? I doubt it. [ A scoff. ] When am I ever wrong?

[ If he values his life and his eardrums, he won't answer a loaded question like that. ]

[ He values his eardrums, at least. And "stomped to death by Rin Tohsaka" was not how he was planning to go. So he politely lets that question pass. ]

If you spoil my future for me, won't I change it just to prove a point to you? Honestly...I think that would be embarrassing for both of us, so you shouldn't do it.

Oh ho ho, are you are saying you're capable of changing yourself? I didn't think that sort of thing was possible...

[ Another stab at his personality. She's quite vicious today. ]

How good are you with sewing?

[ He walked right into that one. ]

I didn't say I'd change it much. You know it would only be enough to make things more difficult for you?

--sewing?

[ Of course. He only would change to make things problematic. That's just like him. ]

Yes, sewing. I'll need an outfit if I'm going to be a super hero.
