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. ]

[ He's perfectly happy with this compromise!! ]

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.

[Everyone wins!]

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.]

[ Yay food!!! ]

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.

I can certainly not complain about such good fortune.

[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.

[ Now, wait just a minute, Gawain...!! ]

I..."Mother Hen" her?

[ WUT????? ]

[galatining]

...yes? Almost over protective. You cook her all these good meals and watch out for her. It's almost coddling...

[He's teasing because it's the truth.]
