I-- I don't think I'll find Lancelot here. You've changed me a lot. I think.. maybe I'm a little bit dizzy..

If.. Lancelot was here.. neither of us would have to be part of the war. Right? And if.. I go there, and he goes there... But would he want to? H-He has a wish. And..

.. The one that's.. there already. He won't know me, will he? He won't.. know me. And I won't.. know anyone else. They're all strangers.


--I should.. just go home..

Hey, just look at this as an opportunity for meeting new people, kid.

[infesting]

[ a fidget, staring down at his feet, burying his hands in his shirt. he never knows how to handle people talking to him like this. it's one thing coming from lancelot, because he's kariya's servant. but complete strangers? ]

I.. don't know how.

[puppy_lancer]

...Really? You don't?

[pure_as_snow]

As long as you are kind to others things will be fine.

[infesting]

[ a small shake of his head. ]

The.. other Masters.. don't really say much to me..

[infesting]

[ .. oh. ]

Y-You're.. Saber's Master.

[pure_as_snow]

Yes, I imagine you could say that.

[That was what Kiritsugu had intended their foes to think, and there was no need to dispel such thoughts in front of those who may wish to stand in their way.]

[infesting]

Lancelot.. doesn't want to fight her. N-Not really. [ he stares down at his feet, toying nervously with his eyepatch. ] She seems.. nice.

[pure_as_snow]

Indeed she is, Saber is very dear to me and I hate to see her in pain for any reason. But I fear we still must fight for the sake of our dream.

[infesting]

.. Dream.. [ he scrubs his fist over his good eye, nodding. ] I think that's m-maybe what Lancelot fights for, too.

[puppy_lancer]

What about people other than Masters? Friends? Family?

[infesting]

There's my big brother, but I-- I've always known him. He reads me stories sometimes, when I'm really sick.

[pure_as_snow]

Do you know what it is that he wishes to ask of the Grail?

[infesting]

[ a small shake of his head. ] It's.. not my place to ask.

[pure_as_snow]

That is a bit of a shame, servants are rather interesting people if Saber is anything to go on.

[infesting]

Lancelot's the best. [ a slightly shy glance up. ] But.. I just do what Father tells me to do.

[pure_as_snow]

Who is your father?

[infesting]

M-Matou Zouken. [ he twists his fingers together, chewing his lip. ] He's scary.

[puppy_lancer]

...Ah. And what's your name, kiddo? Maybe your brother is already over at that game?

[infesting]

I'm Kariya. I.. don't think he is, though..

[puppy_lancer]

...Kariya? Well...uh...I know a Kariya in the Tower. He's my friend, actually.

[infesting]

.. He has my name?

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, looks kinda like you too.

[fionnuisce]

So what if you won't know anyone?

[Shrug.]

Generally speaking, the people there aren't so terrible.

[infesting]

[ oh no he's said something wrong. his gaze ducks to his feet and he nods, fingers white-knuckled in his shirt. ]

I-- I'm just.. not used.. to people. I mean.. there's the other Masters, but we don't really.. t-talk.
