SINIB:
Tsumiko

Tsumiko stopped. She bit her lip and looked down at her feet, shuffling slowly in place. She reached up towards her ribbon as if to play with it, but instead pulled her hoodie up. She began taking deep breaths and looked away from Archer, away from his question.

She unconciously began to step back away from him.

This question was scary, because she didn't know the answer. It terrified her. It was such an easy question! The answer should be one, and only one!

But for her, she didn't know. All these people's lives were intertwined in the back of her head, mixed together and jumbled up. Who knew how many people she was a composite of? Not her! "I-don't know..." She finally mumbled after ten or fifteen seconds. She wasn't exactly sure.

"So you wish to test me." He pondered for a moment, walked up to a counter in the living room, and picked up an apple. His eyes locked with the reflection on the fruit. His tone was far more serious than before. "In order to grow, one must surpass their weaker self. That is what it means to be victorious..."

Only then did his eyes move away, to look at his challenger in the eye. He took a healthy bite of the fruit. It was sweet, ripe and overflowing with juice. Its taste was victory, and glory. All which fate had decreed he would receive. Perhaps that was why that girl arrived at his doorstep as well? And yet-

"Unfortunately, I dislike battle. I could not bring myself to strike you." He raised his hands up in surrender with an amiable smile.

Mira

The purpled-haired brawler watched Vega's every move as he spoke to himself and ate the tasty looking apple. She crossed her arms, the muscles in them gently flexing with the motion, and considered the meaning of what he said. It was all common sense to any fighter worth their salt - to strive against those who could challenge them. To challenge yourself.

But then Mira's eyes widened at his last line. She leaned forward, put her hands on her hips, and looked at him and his muscles incredulously. "A guy as strong as you, who fights as hard as they say you did, doesn't like to fight?"

She scoffed, and lifted one of her hands to wave it past her face as if she'd smelled something awful. "Don't try to fool me, pretty boy. Nobody gets as good as you apparently are without passion."

Elf:
Emiya

Emiya watched as the young woman stopped, reach for the ribbon in her hair, stop and then pull up her hood.  She looked away from him and took deep breaths, as if she was trying to calm herself.  He watched her, keeping as still as he could until he folded his arms across his chest.

Then she stepped away from him.

Finally she said in a low voice, "I-don't know..."

He reached out and gently rested his hand on her head.  "It's okay that you don't know," he said in a soft voice as he bent his knees to meet her eyes as best as he could.

"But, you could hurt yourself without knowing what you're doing," he said with a smile, "And . . ."  The smile ran away from his face as he took a deep breath.

"If you're not compatible with that spiritually," he said as he gestured to her arm, "It will be fatal.  I want to help, but I need a beginning.  You said a Grail right?  Well, I've been both a Master and a Servant.  With a little more information, maybe I can help you connect the pieces."

And you know, make sure that Unlimited Blade Works doesn't destroy you from the inside out.

"Huh?" She blinked, reaching over and touching her arm. "That's never given me any trouble, though. It's just my slightly larger arm."

And then, she turned to look him in the eyes. "And I don't know too much about those things. I just know that what created me was the grail, eight years ago."

Elf:
Emiya

White brows furrowed as steel colored eyes widened and then narrowed as Emiya's handsome face twisted in a scowl.  He stood there for a moment, letting her words sink in.  Just my slightly larger arm.  Just, he thought.

He tilted his head and asked, "You don't dream of swords do you?  Especially really pretty ones?"
