Rider sighed at her master's response.
She really has gone crazy, Rider thought.
But, now really did not seem like the time to try to argue with her. She was stressed out and scared about what might happen to the various Shirous she had met, and any attempt to convince her otherwise would only make her more determined. Sakura was, after all, a Tohsaka, and Tohsakas could be extremely stubborn.
As Rider approached Shirou, he projected his familiar twin swords and jumped backwards, before dropping the defensive stance when it became apparent that Rider was not hostile. Unfortunately, though, he did not seem willing to comply.
“I’m sorry,” he said, sighing, “but I’ve delayed too long. I have to find someone important before people get hurt. Tell Sakura I can take care of myself.”
Rider sighed as well.
"I know you can but, as I said, she will not take no for an answer. She is determined to ensure your safety, and your words have left her paranoid about you being hurt. If I disobey her orders, she will lose her trust in me, and I will have no chance of getting through to her and convincing her to drop this self-destructive obsession with protecting you even against your will. Further, she would simply send her other servant to collect you instead, so you would not even gain anything.
Please, just come with me so we can sort this out. I would much rather not have to use force...", she said with a sigh, nevertheless preparing herself to attack in case he chose to run.
