[Elf]

Forest

Forest gave the dark man a withering glare on top of a charming smile when he patted her shoulder.  She tilted ever so slightly, dislodging his hand on her shoulder before shrugging.  "Eh, honestly, I'm not overly worried.  I've been in far worse situations," she said.

Then she heard the old guard's announcement and sighed.  She muttered, "Somehow I'm not surprised.  I wonder what she blew up."

[SINIB]

Jin

His girlfriend hugged him from behind, seeking his comfort after the shocking event. "Of course I don't mind it, but it might be a bit hard walking up stairs like this." Not that there were any stairs in sight, he just wanted to say something to make things appear normal. He was pretty short on subject on though, hmm maybe...

"Are you gonna buy ice cream for Wormy too?"

Oka Kurosawa

"Mmm-nnnn" The girl said to Jin, still listening to his heart beat steadily. "I'll get him something else. He doesn't like ice cream because he's too hot and it melts before he can manage to eat all of it unless he glups it down in one bite, but then he gets brain freeze, and…" Oka stopped herself from rambling on any further. "Heh, sorry, I'm still a bit shaken up." She pressed herself closer to Jin and hugged him from behind, holding her heans up against his chest. "I'll get him cookies or something." She said finally. "I'm going to get something with chocolate and cherries, what about you?" She asked him, looking at him over his shoulder.

Sakura Matou

Sakura shook her head. "No, of course not, go ahead." Sakura said, scooting over. "Carrying a child is an amazing experience, isn't it?" She said to the woman.

[SINIB]

Auspicious Breeze

The former gladiator made a little 'o' with her mouth, then nodded to Mordred. Nothing more needed to be said there, she could take a hint.

And so they went, and into the steak place they came, and a male server escorted them to a booth and asked them for their drinks, before leaving them to look at the menu.

She aimed to sit across from both of the cute girls she was with so she could look at them. At the same time. Breeze could be smart if she tried! Even if reading was coming along slowly. Then she smiled and asked a different question and hoped it wasn't a bad one, too."So, Sakura! How long have you been in the city for?"

IRON=SAKURA

"Oh, not long at all, about a month." She said, sitting lazily on a special reinforced chair just for her that could handle her weight. "It's been a nice respite from my usual life. "I've never seen a city like this before, it's really been weirding me out how it's built on flat ground and not a mountain. Hehehe, not that I expect you know what I'm talking about. It seems like my world is pretty unique compared to others."

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

Heeding Julius' advice the two of them moved through the hallway, eventually you could make out that something was inside the hives. Taking a closer look might be dangerous but it wasn't like they'd ever get anywhere if they were too careful.

"Do you know what that could be Julius?" The girl asked him, uncertain on how they should continue.

Jeanne

Her final blow sent him flying across the yard, hitting a wall as he then slid dizzily towards the ground, his voice betraying his current condition.  "Mhm...why are you so distracted today, you usually block the first one..." Jeanne walked closer to where he lay on the ground as she talked. She started poking his stomach with her flag when she reached him.

"Maybe if you had a bit more fire in you." She said with a devious smile. With that she moved it further down, pulled it back and hit him between his legs lightly.

Shirou Emiya

Shirou closed his legs quickly, catching the pole just in the nick of time. "Hey hey hey..." He said, frowning at her. "You should be nicer to me, or Sakura will get mad." Shirou jokingly warned her. The truth was he enjoyed her company. She was a nice change from Sakura's bubbly love and she'd never creeped him out like Rider did. "He grabbed onto the flagpole to steady himself, and looked at her. "I don't think I can take anymore today. Sorry. Haha." He laughed at his own discomfort like he always did. "Would you like some tea or coffee? I can make it the way you like it."

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Pretending to think about, the blonde adopted a thinking pose. "Trying to bribe me to get out early, how clever of you." She appeared to be struggling with the decision, both wanting the tea but also not wanting to let him go. In the end the tea won out. She helped him get up, pulling him into a hug with her breasts pressed against him. "I'll take the tea then, I like it almost as much as you, or maybe slightly more. The tea isn't a walking dissapointment~" She said while teasing him like usual.

Shirou Emiya

Shirou snorted at her insult and walked in the house with her, quickly making his way to the kitchen and beginning to make the tea. "You know, it's incredible how you are absolutely nothing like what's written in the history books, Jeanne." Shirou commented to her as he boiled some water.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

Following the man as he strode into the kitchen and started making the tea, she couldn't help but sigh at the comment and he made. "Oh, and are you disappointed I'm not? I thought I knew you, ah to be betrayed by conniving men, what a fate. The Lord has surely abandoned me." She wailed in what was quite clearly faked agony.

"Who even wrote those books cause it sure wasn't me. It was you wasn't it? I'll make you repent heathen!" The blonde saint grabbed him and shook him comically.

Shirou Emiya

Shirou ignored the ridiculousness of her outburst and played along with her. "Yes, I'm very disappointed in you indeed, my fair lady. I wanted to meet the holy virgin of France, a kind woman who would never try to whack a man in the groin." He was about to continue, when Jeanne grabbed him and shook him. "Whoa, hold on." He said, stopping her and putting his hand to his head. "I just went flying across the yard, my head hurts a bit right now." He chopped her on the head. "You should be more considerate."

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne 

The shaking stopped the moment she heard him complain. She looked down with a sorrowful expression, a hint of regret present. "I'm sorry I got a bit carried away, sometimes I forget how strong I am."

She looked up and met his gaze a bit more hesitantly this time. "Do you think I'm a bad person Shirou?"

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Cookies huh, considering they were going for ice cream too it would be quite hard finding a place that sold all of that. Odder things did occur here, he had been here long enough to know that at least. "I'll see what they'll have, who knows what crazy tastes they might have. And don't worry about it, even I was shocked at how quickly that happened."



William

The masked man stepped into the pool of blood, it's content coloring his footwear with a crimson hue. "The only way of course....by destroying everything" He stopped speaking, letting the sentence hang over them like a guillotine over it's unlucky victim.


"Hah hahaha"

The mage burst out laughing suddenly. "I got you there didn't I? Haha...Actually my plan involves me seizing power a more 'peaceful' way. Crushing all opposition until I'm the only one suitable."

Oka Kurosawa

"Mhmmm, something crazy does sound fun." Oka agreed. "You'll have to let me have a taste Jin." Oka cluckled as they walked. "Yeah, that was um, a bit crazy. It felt like that, uh, Ika-ruga war you've told me about, kinda."

"Heh, so how badly did I mess up the name, on a scale of one to ten?"

[SINIB]

Jeanne 

The shaking stopped the moment she heard him complain. She looked down with a sorrowful expression, a hint of regret present. "I'm sorry I got a bit carried away, sometimes I forget how strong I am."

She looked up and met his gaze a bit more hesitantly this time. "Do you think I'm a bad person Shirou?"

Shirou Emiya

"Hmmmm..." Shirou brought his hand to his face, pretending to think hard about it the same way she had, mimicking her exact movements.

After a minute, he suddenly brought his hand down on her head, and rubbed it. "Nah, I don't think you're a bad person. You might be a bit inconsiderate and take some jokes too far, but it's all just good-natured teasing. I think you're a fun person to be around." He gave Jeanne his honest opinion.

At that moment, the tea kettle began to squeal, signaling the water was boiling. "Hold on a second." Shirou said, turning around and turning off the flame. "What kind of tea would you like?"
