Sage

Sage looked pensive as her eyes traveled between the two women. She nodded, slowly, as though the false elf were considering something of great importance. "I shall look into these Columbians. They sound unfortunately familiar."

Emiya

"Reincarnated Servant.  Meaning I'm mortal again," Emiya said, holding his finger up in a very Rin-like gesture.

He frowned at Sakura's words and said, "Yeah, and most of those methods for immortality are like selling yourself for it.  I really don't feel becoming a vampire.  I use to hunt them so it would be weird."

Sakura

"There are other ways. Aren't you looking for a grail anyway?" 

She held onto him tightly.

"I'm not interested in a world without you, Shirou."

Emiya

Emiya stroked Sakura's hair and gently tilted her face to look at his.

"Yes, I'm looking for a Grail to help the three of you so you can live your own lives instead of this odd Purgatory that the three of you are sharing," Emiya said with a smile.

"Trust me, I actually don't have plans for dying any time soon, but saving the three of you are my priority."

Sakura

"And saving you is ours! We'll live forever. We can wait a bit longer if it means having a forever worth something!"

Sakura exclaimed. "Archer! Please!"

Thorra

Thorra shook her head, laughing. "No no, I don't really need to eat. It's mostly a pleasure thing for me." She replied, hunched down a bit so she didn't break the ceiling. She sort of crouchwalked over to the couch before setting herself down on the coffee table, plopping her body onto the couch itself. "Thanks. I'll make sure to repay you properly once I get some money.

She looked around. "Do you have one of those things that connects to the interent? There's so much good research on there for the mundane stuff!"
Mothra:

"Oh, d-don't worry about paying me back," Mothra said from the kitchenette, "I don't mind having guests over."

'Even if she doesn't need to eat, it is still rude for the host not to provide something for the guest' Mothra couldn't help but think, her generosity dominating her train of thought. 'Well, maybe a glass of water would be okay.'

The teenage kaiju quickly grabbed a pair of glass cups, filling them up at the sink. "Do you have one of those things that connects to the interent? There's so much good research on there for the mundane stuff!" she heard the blonde bombshell ask.

"Uh, yeah, sure, just lemme get it." Mothra jogged the short distance to the coffee table, depositing the two full glasses of water before making her way to her bedroom. Snatching a brick of a laptop from the tiniest desk imaginable, she brought it back to Thorra. "I-it's kind of old, though. Doesn't run all that fast and it takes forever to boot up."

Amanda

"Don't think you can dodge the bullet just because of that cute twirl." Amanda said as she grabbed Eru's hand and pulled her towards the stove. Gathering up all the ingredients didn't take long at all, and soon Amanda had several pans frying all kinds of things. She had a dragon to feed now and she guessed there would be a lot of meat for that.

"Why don't the two of you take a seat, I'll be done in a moment!" The mage was twirling around herself now, while juggling the preparations for a meal that looked more like a small feast than a breakfast for three.

"And saving you is ours! We'll live forever. We can wait a bit longer if it means having a forever worth something!"

Sakura exclaimed. "Archer! Please!"

Emiya

But I don't want to live forever.  I want to grow old and die like a normal person.  I don't want to go back to the Throne; I want to be recycled and reincarnated, Emiya thought as he looked down at Sakura.

He frowned and asked, "Are you truly immortal then?  What about soul degradation?   Your body may not age, but the soul can rot."

Sakura

Sakura sighed. "I thought you knew what the third magic does..." She muttered sullenly. She bit her lip, and buried her face into his chest so she wouldn't have to see his reaction.

"Yes, forever was a part of my wish." She answered quietly, holding onto him, perhaps for dear life. "Now I know forever can be a very long time."

Emiya

Emiya sighed again.

A cold knot of ice was forming in his gut.  She was asking him to make a promise to her.  She wanted him to pledge himself to her for all eternity.

The part that was still Emiya Shirou was urging him to do it.  It would make Sakura happy.  It would make Rin happy.  It would make Tsumiko happy.

The part that had been Counter Guardian EMIYA and became bitter and full of self loathing was all but laughing at the situation.

"Yeah, forever is a very long time," he said in a soft voice.  "Eternity doesn't end."

Sakura

Sakura held onto him quietly. "Forever is scary." She answered after a couple minutes of silence and agony. "There's no end to it."

In his arms, he held a terrified young woman who knew nothing of what she'd gotten herself into until it was far too late. In his arms was a scared little girl who'd been betrayed by the world.

In his arms he held a phantom of his childhood friend.

Emiya

Emiya stroked her long hair and said, "It's painful too.  The worse torture there is."

Would eternity be bearable with Sakura and Rin at my side? he thought, Would it be bearable for them if I was by their side?

Sakura

Sakura stood silently, holding onto him, and said no more words. Her Shirou laid catatonic inside of her, never waking again. She held her sister, trapped inside a body that was not hers. She held the unending guilt and anguish of that fateful night. She held the envy which had lead to it.

She didn't know what she would do if he died. All she could do was simply pray.

Emiya

Emiya noticed that Sakura fell quiet in his arms.  He tilted her face up to his and said, "I'll think about it.  Please, give me some time.  I just got out of one deal I made for eternal servitude.  Just, please give me sometime to think about becoming immortal."

Sakura

It wasn't a no, at least.

She looked up at him and gave him a genuinely weary smile, the exhaustion she'd been hiding now on full display. She nodded.

It wasn't a no. She held onto that fact, and treasured it like her most precious possession.

Emiya

Tension fled his shoulders and he slumped lightly as he held Sakura.

She looked exhausted but she was smiling at him.  Emiya cupped her cheek with his left hand and asked, "Do you need to get back and get some rest?  Or do you need prana?"
