[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

The girl, no Sakura looked uncomfortable after she asked her question, so she made a mental note of not prying further there for now. On the other hand it appeared like her connection to the grail had vanished so she was indeed in need of support if she wished to remain. Considering all this she spoke again. "Kindness is one the great virtues and you seem to exhibit that quite nicely. I feel honored by your offer, but are you sure you would be satisified with having to maintain me. I am a servant after all so it would be straining."

[Thedoctor]

Archer

continuing in the same dark tone with the accented English he said. "No Rin, I am your father."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“That’s not a problem, don’t worry about that. I actually have the opposite problem, I have an-ah-condition that makes it so I always am overflowing with prana. If I don’t use it all, I’ll be in serious trouble, so you’d actually be helping me, you see?” Sakura blathered like a fool, not wanting to go into the details of the fifth war. “So what do you say, Jeanne?”

[Elf]

Rin

Rin stared at Archer for a moment before it clicked.  Then the tension was gone and there was just this sense of relief.  A smile crossed her lips before she started to giggle.

"Really?  You just quoted The Empire Strikes Back at me. . ." she said, the giggles turning on to full out laughter.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Jeanne smiled at her. "Don't worry I'd happily accept your aid if that's the case. I have one question though. Are you a follower of the words and teachings of His Lord and Saviour?"

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“Yeah, I guess so, nominally anyway. I’ve prayed to Jesus before.” Sakura answered.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

The saint looked at her a bit confused. "Nominally?"

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"Is it really that unlikely for me to have seen them? They even made sequels...Oh right not that year yet." He told her.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“I had a... troubled childhood. Grandfather and my brother both abused me, and they never really took me to church. I’ve gotten a bit more religious in the past few years.”

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

"I'm sad hearing that. The Lord enjoys testing us in our faith, but he also loves us. All of his children, and he watches over us." She made a slight bow to Sakura and continued. "I place myself in your care then Sakura."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura bowed in return to Jeanne. “Well, let’s make the contract then, it won’t take long.” Sakura took out a small piece of chalk and drew a small magical circle on the floor. “Will you become my servant, servant Ruler?” Sakura asked her.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Nodding to Sakura who finished drawing the circle on the floor, she responded to her. "Yes, I accept you as my master Sakura Matou."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“I’m glad to hear, Jeanne.” Sakura smiled at her. “This is my other servant, Rider.” Sakura introduced Jeanne to Rider.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Still smiling the saint walked over to the other woman. She had long lavender hair and was quite a bit taller than her, she also had an incredible beauty to her that almost seemed divine. While looking over her she realized what heroic spirit it was. "Good day Rider or should I call you Medusa?"

[Elf]

Rin

Rin blushed and said, "I didn't see them until I moved to England and this guy I was dating flipped out when I told him I'd never seen any of the Star Wars movies.  So one weekend I went to his flat and I watched through all three."

She stirred the cooley she was making with a chuckle.

"He told me never watch the prequels."
