On being dead for a few more weeks in tvk

[ex_cashcow493]

Will this end anytime soon? I wish to be reunited with my beloved and Sir Pounce.

Ah, I should have expected a refusal to back down from your commitment. Very well. After this battle has been well fought, I would like it very much if you would just leave me to spend time with those I hold dear to my heart.

[Have a sudden hug from behind!]

Hey.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Eee at the sudden outburst of PDA! ]

S-Shirou! [ Must. Regain. Composure. ] Your grades have not suffered any in my absence, have they?

[emptysword]

O-of course not, Saber!

[Still holding her, because he missed her too much, dammit.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Fine, she'll permit it only this one time because of the circumstances. ]

And you have been eating well, right? [ Next she'll ask if he's been changing his underwear. ] Ah, and Diarmuid. Have you been getting along better with him?

[emptysword]

Y-yeah, I am.

[...The second question, though...]

Well, er. Sort of.

[ex_cashcow493]

Sort of? [ Time to equip the holy blade, Mamabur. ] Sort of? You do realize it's up to the two of you to figure it out, right?

[emptysword]

...Well, yeah. But considering recent happenings, its a miracle for us to even get this far in this first place.

[ex_cashcow493]

Your anger is misguided, Shirou, as is his. It is I who is the source of such anguish, so be disappointed in me.

[emptysword]

No, I won't.

[He's going to just lean his head in, as if tired of recent happenings.]

I will never be disappointed in you, Saber.

[His dad, though? That's a completely different case.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ It's alright, for she'll lean in a bit into his chest with her back. A momentary sign of weakness, but this was taking a toll on her own mental health. ]

I know. I suppose it was foolish of me to think I could have you be angry at me in his place.

[emptysword]

You know that I'll never be angry with you, Saber.

[Beat.]

I think I have an idea for your return party.

[ex_cashcow493]

Party? [ Why a celebration? ] Will you spoil it by telling me?

[emptysword]

Hmm, I suppose you'll have to find out for yourself later, but it does involve food.

[Oh wow he's actually teasing her right now.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Perking up because hey food... ]

I think this may be the longest I have ever gone without a good meal. [ Kind of hard to eat when you're dead. ] Will you not tell me a little more?

[maguskiller]

[Take your time. No rush.]

[Say, would you happen to know Lancer's weaknesses?]

...

[puppy_lancer]

...Wow. Th-that's cruel and unusual.

[And now he's worried about Misaya being in the headspace of the same mun.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Right, she'll just continue to be dead. For a while. No thanks to him.

Lancer's weakness? Of course.

It's kind of dead. As in, he keeps killing it. The weakness that is. ]

[emptysword]

Well, why don't I just give you a preview?

[Going to just get, his packed lunch for her.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Foooooooooooooooooooooooooood... ]

You have one with you?

[ex_cashcow493]

It is, but that is the price of this plot. I am getting plenty of action in another game though, so I should not be disappointed.

[emptysword]

'Course I do.

[Ta-da! There's a boxed lunch made just for you, Saber.]

[puppy_lancer]

Does she do stuff like this often?

[As opposed to Saber, Misaya was only going to be for her personal game, right? Suddenly, he has a few unsavory images dancing around in his head.]

[first_knight]

...Sir Pounce?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Gently and valiantly diving for it... ]

Shirou! This is amazing!

[ex_cashcow493]

No, not very often. It is a special circumstance due to her other muse in the game.

[puppy_lancer]

[He gives a sigh of relief.]

So it's more a case of favoritism?

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes. [ A sheepish smile follows that. ] My lion cub by the name of Sir Pounce-A-Lot. He lives up to his name, you know.

[emptysword]

Whoa, slow down!

[Going to just, catch Saber before anything embarrassing happens.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Shirou has acquired Saber [1].

What will he do with his newly acquired swordswoman? ]

[emptysword]

[...oh wow this is quite close.

BRB blushing.

And also setting her down on the ground.]

Geez, you need to control yourself around food.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Keep calm and eat all of the food. ]

Shirou, I have not eaten since the ninth! [ Pouting. ] Is it not natural I act a bit eager?

[ex_cashcow493]

The lady mundane wished to do something with my Master from the Fourth Holy Grail War. Since I am a notable individual in his time, I had to be eliminated, else I would have ruined their plans.

It is unfortunate to be caught up in this, but I will not mind it once I can return to my beloveds.

[emptysword]

[Going to just, give the food to her, and plopping down on the ground besides her.]

Here, don't eat it too quickly, alright?

[puppy_lancer]

Man, remind me not to get caught up in any games where my mun plays more than one muse. Sounds more troublesome than it's worth.

...She's gonna give you something good to make it up to you, right?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Curling right up beside him. ]

Will it be an insult if I did? [ Sighing after, she'll nestled up even closer. ] I have missed you, Shirou.

[emptysword]

No, I just don't want you to choke.

[And going to just, lean a bit onto her.]

...I missed you too.
