Pine Garden

[Elf]

Emiya

The white haired man blinked as Tsumiko flung herself onto the bed before slowly smiling.

Emiya nodded and said, "Of course, it's your room.  When we're shopping we can get some stuff so you can make the room yours."

Girls liked stuff like posters and he figured he could make her a vanity with a mirror.  He nodded to himself and said, "And I could easily make you a vanity right there."  He pointed to the corner of the room.

Tsumiko

Tsumiko rolled over, hugging a big pillow. She gave Archer a quizzical pouty-faced look. "What in the world is that?"

[Elf]

Archer

"Well, it's like a small table but there's a large mirror.  Apparently girls like to use it so they can fix their hair and put on their makeup," Emiya said with a shrug.

Then he held up his hands and said, "If you don't like makeup that's totally fine.  Or if you'd like to try some, that's totally fine as well."  He snapped his fingers together and eyed her.

"We'll need to get you a phone and maybe a computer of your own.  Well, I could build one from spare parts like mine . . ."

Tsumiko

Something in Tsumiko's eyes showed she was panicking on some unconcious level, but the girl just nodded, seemingly unaware beyond a faint sense of unease. "Um, I don't know anything about makeup. Can you help me with it?"

[Elf]

Emiya

Gray eyes widened as Emiya stood there for a moment, silent with his mouth slightly opened.

"I . . . really don't know much about it.  There might be books or magazines we can look stuff up in.  Or on line," he said after a moment, "That I can help you with.  Putting it on, not so much."

Tsumiko

"Uuuu..." Tsumiko made a noise of disappointment. "Okay. I'll learn on my own..."

She held the pillow tightly, rolling back over.

Emiya

"What?  Just because I wear leather pants with straps doesn't mean I know how to put on eyeliner," he said as he folded his arms across his chest with a tiny grunt.  He looked away.

He was also pouting slightly.

Tsumiko

"No, no, I'm not upset! It's fine, really!"

Tsumiko was definetely a bit upset.

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya looked back at her and grinned.

"Sorry, I'm sort of new to all of this too."

His face sobered and he looked at her.  "It'll be hard, but would you be interested in going to school?"

Tsumiko

Tsumiko rolled back over. She stared at him with those two mismatched eyes. "Um-ah..." She bit her lower lip hard enough for it to bleed a bit, grunted in pain, and stopped. It instantly healed in front of Archer's eyes. "I don't know..."

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya nodded at Tsumiko's words.  He silently wondered how much of Rin and Sakura's knowledge passed onto her.  She didn't seem to have Rin's genius, but she wasn't a slouch either. 

He watched as the bite on her lip healed and he frowned.  "Hey, just because you can heal yourself doesn't mean you should hurt yourself like that, okay," he said.

Pot, let me introduce you to this kettle.  It is also very black, he thought dryly.

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

She just cocked her head in confusion at him. "Um, why...?"

[Elf]

Emiya

"Because one thing it'll make people worry," Emiya said as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

He rested his hand on her head and added, "And the fact that you can heal yourself like that will ask a lot of questions that you don't want to answer."

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

"I think that's the least of my worries in that regard." She responded. "What's so unsual about regeneration in this place?"

She sighed. "But I'll do my best to listen."

[Elf]

Emiya

"Well, I sure as hell can't heal like that," Emiya said as he lifted up his shirt half way up his chest. "It would make my life easier if I could."

He was muscular, but there were white scars cutting against his bronze skin.  A couple of bullet wounds, something that looked like a deep gash in his side, and shrapnel entry and exit wounds.  He turned so Tsumiko could get a good look of his back as well, which told the same story as his front.

"This is why you'll never see me at a public pool.  People like to ask about things different, or talk behind your back," he said as he lowered his shirt.
