Very new muse...

[nonacquiescent]

That was fast - way too fast.  Weren't you going for Saber's master?  Obviously that guy's a magi with a long lineage, so of course you would want to go that route.  What's the point in wasting time on a weak kid who won't amount to anything?  It's impossible, that's just the way things are, no one rises up past their birthright, how can I even begin to compare.  That's what you're thinking, right?

Well that's wrong!  I'll show you, Waver Velvet will be a household name!  How can you even think something like that, aren't you supposed to be supportive?!  It doesn't matter what you do with me, wherever I end up, it's just another chance to prove I can be the best!

...Just, nothing too dangerous.

If you wish for nothing dangerous, why did you join the Holy Grail War, master of Rider?

[artisanship]

Spoken like a true flea on a wild dog's back.

[nonacquiescent]

...

[Well, he can't exactly admit it was a mistake to join the Grail War...or that he only did it to prove he could win if he tried, only to realise it isn't so.]

That has nothing to do with this.

[excaliblaster]

I am not seeking to discredit you; instead, after that experience shouldn't whatever your mun may throw you into be minor in comparison?

[macedonian]

Ha, you're as lively as ever! Though, come, if you truly want to pursue glory, there is no better way than through great danger! Overcoming a great and dangerous challenge is what brings true greatness!

[nonacquiescent]

...Archer.

I can't accept that. If you call me a flea, there's nothing I can say to stop you, but...to simultaneously imply Rider is so low...

[nonacquiescent]

It's not the same at all. Fighting with a servant doing the work proves nothing, so it's not any sort of preparation.

[excaliblaster]

I strongly doubt that man would have accepted a master that did nothing. Yet, by my understanding, he had faith in you and rode at his side.

For you to refute that, does that mean nothing to you?

[nonacquiescent]

That might be easy for you to say. But you must be thinking the same thing, 'this kid is too weak to face danger'.

[artisanship]

Is the privilege of a king before his defeated enemy. Should I withhold for your pleasure?

[nonacquiescent]

That's wrong! That guy is just too nice for his own good. You saw that firsthand. To have a great king say something like that really is an honour either way, but he wouldn't even let me supply mana, so...it really was all him. I need to prove myself by my own means.

[excaliblaster]

Then shouldn't the task itself not matter, if you drive to succeed?

[nonacquiescent]

...If that's what you think, then you're no king. Rider would treat his 'defeated enemy' as a friend and acknowledge their strength. Even if they were incredibly weak, he would praise them for having the determination and bravery to challenge him!

[nonacquiescent]

Right, but, still...don't you think that's going a bit far all at once?

[excaliblaster]

I see no reason to.

[nonacquiescent]

I want to live past the next month. That's a good reason.

[artisanship]

If they gave him good battle.

[nonacquiescent]

Are you saying he didn't? If that's the case, that blame lies on me.

...you're not all stupid, are you? I'll raise your rank to maggot.

He gave well.

[unreachableutopia]

That man has a twisted personality. Your mundane made no mistake to choose you over him.

[Well, he is better than Kiritsugu in Saber's biased Point of View.]

[nonacquiescent]

Then I might be able to raise you to the the rank of a duke in my mind.

[nonacquiescent]

Um, well, I don't think it's that she 'chose me over him', per se... But I think I'll take that as a compliment.

[unreachableutopia]

It was meant to be. W-Wasn't I clear enough?

[She has good memories of Rider and Waver according to that Taiga CD Drama, on the other hand.]

[artisanship]

If you can still speak well enough to give me cheek, I have left too many teeth in your mouth and too much skin on your back unflogged, maggot.
