Pine Garden

Emiya

Emiya blinked as Sakura ran off to "change".

When she emerged again he stared at her for a moment, drinking her in.  It was almost alarming how sensual she looked standing there.  He looked down at his jeans and T-shirt, but he really didn't have any clothing to change into to match her dress.

Emiya smiled at her and said, "You look amazing, but you didn't need to do that for me."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Her ribbon disintigrated, rematerializing to tie her long locks up into a side ponytail.

"Why shouldn't I? It's one of the few benefits of my situation, so shouldn't I make the best of it?"

[Elf]

Emiya

"That's understandable I guess," Emiya said with a shake of his head and a grin.  "Just don't trace gold bars out of thin air.  It's tacky."

He held out his arm to her and and said, "Are you ready?"

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura's dress suddenly morphed, reconstructing itself into solid gold thread.

"No, this is tack. Tracing gold is functional when you live your life on the run from the magus association. Don't tell Tsumiko off for it or she's feel really bad."

She stuck out her tongue as her dress returned to the normal, pleasant pink color. She wrapped an ice cold arm around his. "Let's walk."

[Elf]

Emiya

"Rin was handing out gold bars to the bartender like it was going out of style," Emiya said with a sigh, "On the run is one thing, but using it to get drunk is something else."

He pulled her closer to him, enjoying the chill of her body on his overheated form.

"Still, we need to talk though," he said in a soft voice as he started to guide them to the park.

[SINIB]

Sakura

"Mmm? About what?" She asked, slowly absorbing his heat and stealing it. A cold hand reached down and wrapped its fingers around his. "Just stuff, or something specific?"

[Elf]

Emiya

"About us," Emiya said in a soft voice.  "About what happened earlier tonight.  I don't do casual sex, you know that."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura, aided by her heels, rested her head against his. "Neither do I." She answered. "This is like a dream, to me."

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya smiled at Sakura resting her head against his and reached out with his free hand to stroke her cheek.

He kissed her forehead and said, "I know, but we need to be careful and I don't want to hurt Tsumiko or Rin.  Well, Rin more than I already had."

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura laughed, a hint of derision in her tone. "She may be my sister, but she can be quite the fool, can't she?"

She raised her chin, giving him easier access to it. "Tsumiko won't know about it. She doesn't know I exist, at least conciously, anyway." She added, almost as an afterthought.

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya frowned slightly at Sakura's laugh and words about Rin.

"Yes, but she's also hurt and upset, which is making her act like that," he said with a shake of his head.

Which is my fault.

He tilted his head and asked, "So Tsumiko actually isn't aware of your arrangement?"

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura scoffed. "Well, you'd better get used to sucking dick then, Shirou. She seems to have grown quite enamored with having one." She laughed, and  pulled Archer tighter. It wasn't quite clear how much of that was reality and how much of that was trash talk. He'd have to ask Rin to be sure.

"And, no. Of course not. She's just a child. She doesn't need to know complicated things like the ghosts of her past."

[Bern]

Amanda

And the Human sorceress completely ignored the Elf's complaints, instead she seemingly pulled what appeared to be clothes out of thin air.

"I was getting this gift ready, you know the clothes we went out to get for you the other day? They arrived and.... And I'd love to see you wear them..." She held them out towards Eru while looking the other way. It was a very very frilly maid outfit, that had been tailored to fit Eru perfectly.

" Oh and Sage listen up, I'm not mad at you or anything, I knew all about the harem plans. I, I just didn't wanna look weak in front of a dragon, and I-I'm sorry I offended you ok!"

[Elf]

Emiya

Heat filled his cheeks at Sakura's crass words about Rin.

But it's mine.  His.  Mine.  A version of me's.  Like the arm.  Does she use the arm?

Emiya shook his head to clear his head as Sakura cuddled up close to him.

"Yare yare, I might just have to hire her a cute blonde from that succubus owned mega-brothel," he said to himself.

He squeezed her shoulders and said, "She should learn sometime though.  It's not good to keep things like that from her.  You can't protect her by keeping her ignorant."

Sakura

"Let's not talk about stuff like that. She doesn't need to be burdened with that knowledge." Sakura answered quietly.
