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. ]

[Oh well that's too bad. He can't just bother this one for food.
Lot's of people are a bit leery about the touching, so Archer isn't alone in that. Okay Gawain isn't really as bothered by that, but that's neither here nor there.]
But I am a knight of the Round Table, Sir Gawain.
no subject
[ You never know unless you try, Gawain!! Who knows, he might be amenable...
The other's True Name has him looking a little surprised, though, even as a brief pang grips his chest. (Best not to think of her right now...) ]
Sir Gawain...I see. [ He could tell other Servants were in the area, but somehow, it just didn't occur to him that there would be a Knight of the Round Table. ] Is it common practice in Chaldea for Servants not to use their class titles?
[ In the absence of an actually Holy Grail War, he supposes that would make sense, but he isn't quite used to it yet. ]
no subject
[Yeah he's probably going to try anyways. His cooking is so bad anyways someone needs to save him.]
Well it depends on the Servant. Some are more cautious outside of Chaldea. As for me, I was in a war before Ritsuka summoned me and my Master never made me conceal my name there.
[Maybe a proper Grail War will come along where he has to go all stealth and he can use the cool code names.]
no subject
And he's gonna owe Ritsuka omurice as it is, anyway, so Gawain might as well go for it. ]
I see. In my last summoning to a Holy Grail War, we followed the traditional practice of concealing our names so that is what I am accustomed to.
[ A beat, then- ]
Could you tell me a little about this...Ritsuka?
no subject
And be careful Archer, his appetite is big, since he and his king share the same genes.]
A lot of Servants did in the my first war, but my Master was very confident and we made it to the final round.
[And losing wasn't just because of his name being known.]
Ritsuka? It's strange, but she's in many ways the most ordinary girl you will ever meet. Yet she's seen everything through, not matter what.
no subject
The 'final round'?
[ That's a bit of an odd way to put it. As for Ritsuka...well, that is a rather curios description. ]
I see. How long has she been a Master?
no subject
Ah the war I refer to occurred in a place called the Mooncell. Master's are pitted against each other in rounds and have a week to prepare to fight. The losers are deleted, the winners go on to the next round.
[Different than the average holy grail war.]
About a year at his point. She wasn't supposed to be the only one originally.
no subject
I see... So you're familiar with Hakuno's Grail War, then.
[ An interesting concept...but not one he likes. ]
And so this singular Master has summoned many Servants, bearing the fate of the world on her shoulders. [ He lets out a thoughtful hum. ] She must be quite special.
no subject
Yes, though certain details are blurry, but I guess the Throne thought it would be useful for me to remember the experience.
[But who knows how the whims of the Throne went. Especially in Chaldea, where the normal rules didn't apply.]
She is very special indeed. She has succeeded against all odds.
[He's very proud of course.]
no subject
I'm surprised you were allowed to keep it, honestly.
[ He doesn't really have anything to show for all his battles -- just the weapons stored in his Reality Marble. ]
Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to meet her while I'm here.
no subject
[It's a kindness of a sort, even if it's mixed with pain as well. Regret so that he can better serve.]
If anything, she will probably greet you first when she sees you. You we know Mother Hens her quite a bit.
no subject
I..."Mother Hen" her?
[ WUT????? ]
no subject
[He's teasing because it's the truth.]
