Pine Garden

Emiya

"I want to join you," Emiya said with a shrug.  "Give you someone to talk to that isn't a part of you.  And I don't want to leave you to drink alone.  That just makes things worse in the end, Rin."

He'd honestly been expecting a fight as well, but seeing her so miserable took the fight out of him.

She's a girl who needs saving, and she saved me so long ago.  At least I can do is try to help her, he thought.

He said, "A version of you saved me once, the least I can do is be your friend again."

Rin Tohsaka

She stared at him, arms trembling just a little bit. "F-fine." She answered, then turning around away from Archer. "We can go to a place that's slightly nicer than where I usually frequent, then."

[Aiden]

Amanda's Mansion

Just then a clanking noise akin to metal hitting metal cut through the air and the entrance behind them sealed up, completely cutting the house off from the rest of the Nexus.

Barriers then flared up and blocked the entrance to every other room could see.

"Who goes there?"

A deep sounding voice demanded them answer but no one was there besides them, no....

One of the statues near the entrance that resembled a medieval knight, had seemingly come to life and was moving toward them.

Sage

The leash's tug brought Sage back into appropriate focus, and she turned to open her mouth before her keen senses picked up on the threat. She turned her wide red eyes to the animated suit of armor, her nostrils flaring in preparation for conflict. She did not however speak - she instead focused upon building up some of her great reserves of mana within her lungs in case she needed to melt the metal.

[Elf]

Emiya

"Well, I feel honored by that declaration," he said with a smirk.

Then he frowned and asked, "Where is it?  There's certain places I probably won't be overly welcome."

[SINIB]

Rin Tohsaka

"Hmmmph. You'll know when we get there, now won't you?"

She slurred her words, wagging her finger at him as she scowled. "I'll have you know I'm no lightweight. You're going to have trouble keeping up with me."

It was truly a look that did not befit Sakura's body.

[Bern]

Mansion Security

"Confirming with databank, subject identified as Eruraviel, classification: Big Boobs Elf Princess. Access level insufficient to bring others in..."

The knight's head did a full 360 degree spin before settling its gaze on the elf. "Would you like to make a call to Lady Harrington? Otherwise I will have to insist that you vacate the premises or face the consequences."

Eruraviel

"Feh. Yes, call her." She shook her head, frowning. "Big boobs? Nothing about my dick? Really? How rude can she get, jeez."

She turned to face Sage, shaking her head. "I'll just have to bully her later in return."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lulu

"You wish to break your own shackles and grasp power with your own hands, do you not? I'd be sorely disappointed if you chose another path fufufu.." She giggled to herself as her angelic wings retracted into her body.

"Perhaps you will find me equally fascinating in time. But to that extent, what do you find more appealing, my current appearance or how I appeared in your dream?"

Vega

"I truly don't care. Just follow your sense of aesthetics." He shrugged and pulled a bouquet out of... somewhere. He handed off the roses to Lulu with a small bow.

"Well then, I truly loathe charity. Consider this my end of the deal."

He detested giving things more than anyone else. And he did not want her to take anything from his. Therefore, something like this was the most obvious way to settle a deal.

A favor for a favor. There was a business card within the roses. The rest was self evident, he truly hoped he didn't need to go into details.

[Elf]

Rin Tohsaka

"Hmmmph. You'll know when we get there, now won't you?"

She slurred her words, wagging her finger at him as she scowled. "I'll have you know I'm no lightweight. You're going to have trouble keeping up with me."

It was truly a look that did not befit Sakura's body.

Emiya

Seeing Rin's mannerisms in Sakura's body was very . . . odd.  Both girls were gorgeous in their own but completely different ways.  It would be like comparing apples to oranges.  Both delicious but both completely different.

Rin's strong mannerisms didn't harmonize with Sakura's soft curves and violet hair.  Rin needed her own slim, athletic body and the bouncing raven curls that always seemed to have a life of their own.  She needed those sharp aquamarine eyes.

The red doesn't work with Sakura's coloring either, he thought sadly.

Emiya tilted his head, shrugged, and asked, "What makes you think I'll drink?  I want to keep you company, but I've never been much of a drinker."

It was true.  He knew his way behind a bar rather easily, but he didn't like partaking.  It made him feel odd, off balance, and weird. 

[Bern]

Lulu

"If you say so..."

Her hair lightened in color until it attained a lustrous golden shine, and her eyes shifted to a more cerulean blue. The maid outfit gave way to a far more firm fitting black dress that exposed a lot of cleavage, and there was a lot of that now as her breasts seemed to have grown a size or two in mere seconds.

"But I won't accept that. No, I know what I want now, and that is your sincere appreciation. I will make you like me!"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vega

"...Make me like you? How absurd." He shook his head at the very notion.

"A woman's beauty isn't reliant on superficial traits. What you need -" He waved his arm and snapped his finger, as if embracing the whole room. "Is style and presentation! And that isn't something you can just learn and show in one day."

And all of a sudden, he was interrupted by a ringing sound. It was like a bell, which directed his gaze to a clock at the corner of the wall.

"Oh my. It seems like the time is flying by. How convenient." He put a hand on his cheek innocently, like a coy child. His smile turned genuine and heartfelt.  "Perhaps you'll get a chance to make me like you after all."

[Bern]

Lulu

"Ah but my superficial traits as you so eloquently describe it are not there by nature, they are an expression of my will and desire."

She smiled back at him as she pulled her legs up on the soffa and folded them, which left her underwear completely exposed should he chose to look. Not that she had any expectations of him peeking, the angel had genuinely done it for comfort reasons.

"Is something supposed to happen now?"

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vega

"Hrm." He nodded in an oddly curt way, before turning his back from her for a moment. His back was completely exposed, open for a strike. But despite that, something in his aura was shifting. No... the color of his very soul.

"In my line of work, it can prove...desirable to have a schedule of sorts. Routines can be comforting." He picked up the plates and cups from the table and began to clean. "Time is precious. Time is fleeting. And time is something our good guest doesn't have much left of."

But before then, he needed answers from him. And until he talked, he had to delay the inevitable, as much as it tore his heart asunder.

"Perhaps a woman's touch could be suited to this." He turned back to smile at Lulu, but there was a cold sort of gleam in his eye.

[Bern]

Lulu

She didn't even consider striking him when his back turned and when turned to her again she was just as relaxed as before, unlike him there was no coldness in her eyes, just curiosity.

"How gently would you like me to coax it out of him? Surely you're not suggesting some sort of seduction?  Hehehe it would be quite pathetic if he fell for that."

She leaned forward slightly but not enough to actually slide out of the couch. "Maybe you could explain on the way.

Rin Tohsaka

"Hmmmph. You'll know when we get there, now won't you?"

She slurred her words, wagging her finger at him as she scowled. "I'll have you know I'm no lightweight. You're going to have trouble keeping up with me."

Rin Tohsaka

A shadow familar opened up on the wall behind her, evidently controlled by Rin. She walked forward, heading into it. "If you're not going to drink with me, I'm not interested in being around you right now. Make your choice now, before you have to find me again."

[Elf]

Emiya

"Yare yare.  Fine, I'll drink with you.  I forgot how difficult Tohsaka Rin can be," Emiya said with a sigh and a shake of his head.

"It's probably why Ishtar bound herself to that version of you," he muttered under his breath.
