Emiya shook his head and said, "I know you have a crazy amount of Mana. That's not what I was questioning. The mana's only part of the equation. A Servant can be given a ton of mana, but without a Master, or being incarnated like I am now or like Goldy was by the Grail, the World will eventually crush their existence. If they are bonded to something that was there, like their Master, the World considers them acceptable and lets them continue to exist."
He flicked her forehead with a whisper soft touch. "You were a Grail, you know."

"I am a grail, you mean?" Sakura retaliated by flicking right back at his forehead. "If I recall properly, I won the grail war." She replied with a wry grin that held a hidden melencholy. "But that's in the past now. We're here together, now, and you don't need to worry. Don't make me worry about you, either."

"I'm careful," Emiya said, smirking at her retaliation. He reached out and took her cool hand.
"I'm going to worry no matter what, and you'll worry about me. That's just who we are."

Oh man, that wasn't cute. This wasn't cute at all.
"Oui, oui. I get it." He closed his eyes patiently and waved some signals at a worker in his line of sight, sending him the code to prep up a VIP room for them ASAP. Man, this was rough. He didn't think she'd get this upset, he was actually getting concerned that she might be getting sick or something.
"Relax, just focus on your senses. I get it, it's scary, but it's not dangerous. Deep breaths, just focus on my breathing and try to keep its pace." He wrapped his arm to comfort her a bit, since she asked and all. "It is kind of noisy though. Should I cover your ears until we get somewhere quieter?"

"Nah just... just get me out of here."
She did as he asked and breathed in-
Breathe out.
It wasn't helping much, but it was something, still....
"Do you have more private room?"

Marc
"Oui oui ma chère!"
His feet spiraled like a roadrunner, kicking dust across the golden halls and velvet carpets - all with the straightest face you could muster on a sorry french mug. Mon dieu! This wasn't his specialty at all. It wasn't bullshit, kicking people in the teeth was the usual job description, feelings, and pampering people wasn't his forte at all.
But she wasn't looking that great. Partners gotta help each other, you know? Especially when it's partners in crime.
"Oh, by the wayyy.... how do you feel about cake."
Only a crook could say the silliest things with the most serious of expressions.
The VIP room was a gorgeous little decor of crystal, velvet, and gold, as opulent as the rest. Well, it didn't really hold up to the real deal, there were places elsewhere even crazier than this. But in its own way, it had its charms.
And a table filled with desserts. Were they conjured up? Delivered? No, there was a stack of boxes... it probably meant all of these would have to be delivered. As soon as he set her down and tended to her, he moved to that table in the same room and started inspecting each dessert meticulously, going so far as to weigh them and inspect the fillings to make sure they contained what was necessary.
Until he glanced at the lass.
"Hungry?"
She'd probably be able to tell... there was a magic source in each cake. Contained, compact, and volatile. The containers on Marc's side clearly had some sort of sealing markings, concealed as regular decorations, but they were clearly second rate. They might fool a magic sensing dog, but some of the weapon detectors would and could go off if he wasn't careful. That must be why he was checking the contents so meticulously. If one weighed too much, well...
"Ugh, these *chew* mana cores are the cheap stuff. Barely *gulp* worth a dime in the underworld. The other families in the district don't take too kindly to our territories, so attacks are a regular occurrence. This is actually one of the few neutral zones, since it's so popular with the nobilty." He chewed on a strawberry shortcake like it was a pizza. "And who could blame em? The stuff here's delicious. Seriously, you've gotta *munch* try the pudding."
He licked his fingers over the frosting, seriously addicted to the stuff. It was kind of adorable, like the kind of thing you'd expect a little brother to do while pretending to work hard.

"First humans... old world... what's with all this lingo. Is it some kind of code?" A lone spider rubbed his temple and the headache throbbing in it. How long had he been sitting in this room, right under the premises the three purchased. He didn't really mind leeching off Suerte and co, it was honestly comfortable.
But surrounded by computer screens, his fingers kept typing and trying to hack into the different data encryptors. There were piles of coded information and top secrets taken from that CHEIRON base, some which couldn't be sold. Since he had to act as lazy as possible, he couldn't possibly (not try to) disappoint Justice. But if no one was looking, well, it was fine to work a little. But just a tad.
This was personal after all.
He'd been at it since the morning, ingesting cup noodles like mad, trying to make sense from the information and the protected databases. A lot of the names sounded familiar, but they didn't ring any bell.
"What the hell? I don't understand anything." He sighed and smashed his head on the keyboard, defeated. The bulbous monster floating in his bunker purred and circled around him, its one eye prying inquisitively. It almost sounded adorable, if it wasn't drooling all over the place. Just what had they done to his big sister? Something about inheriting the promised land? Human potential? New forms? It just didn't make sense. He didn't get it.
His sharp glance shifted at her with a sad expression. She probably still understood human language. He hoped she did.
"Do you?"
