Good evening.

[ The video flickers on, and there's a very pale, very fatigued-looking Archer sitting in his apartment. A dragon egg is also visible, nestled in a bundle of blankets next to him. (Is he nesting??)

In any case, he doesn't mince words. ]

Since we're all likely experiencing similar symptoms, I'll be brief - I'm looking for moonlacing partners, specifically hand-holding and basic physical contact. Anything more than that is subject to discussion.

[ He moves a hand, and just for a moment, it almost looks translucent. Or maybe, it's just the crystals staring to form on his skin. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ With that, he ends the feed. ]

[Shirou is also very pale when he replies. His dragon egg is likewise close by. He, too, has been ignoring the need to moonlace while still trying to give enough Chroma to his egg.]

So no matter how strong you are, you can't fight the effects of the egg either, huh?

[Somehow, that makes Shirou feel even more determined to supply his own egg with what it needs. Maybe because it means he did it better than Archer now?]

[ You're not doing better than him, you little shit. He's a Servant a you're not; that's literally the only difference here.

Archer frowns. ]

It has nothing to do with strength. The egg draws what it needs from its surroundings, and in this case, from us, specifically.

You remember Rider's Bounded Field, don't you?

[ They all almost died, and he almost got petrified. Truly, a great time. ]
