Who: Archer swordboning and Tohsaka Rin codere
When: October 19th
Where: Apartments
What: Finding a place to live is suffering for Archer
Rating/Warning: Nuuuuuupe

[With a sigh, Archer opened the door to a place that seemed to fit a certain someone's requirements. Oh well, Archer knew what he was getting into when it came to their work relationship. If he was ever frustrated, he could really only blame himself in the long run. No doubt, Rin would be the one to point out that exact fact to him too. Not so secretly, though, Archer picked a place that he would have an easier time performing daily chores at. Better location and placing, using his keen eye to make sure it was all right.]

Is this place suitable or will there be a reckoning?

[It was a one bedroom place. Yes, Archer planned on staying but he had no need to sleep. It was one of the perks of being a Servant. Hopefully Rin wouldn't get the mistaken idea that she'd be the only one here. Because that was a headache waiting to happen.

...maybe he should address that sooner rather than later.]

If it is fine, I'll work on making sure it's furnished with things suitable for both of us.

[Don't get him started on a cleaning spree.]

I'm going to hit you so you can test your own limits since it's clear you don't already know them. An unprepared Master causes a weak Servant.

[codere]

I think you want to hit me just because.

[ Man, he's serious about this and that leaves her on edge. Being prepared is one thing, but actually getting hit by a guy his size? Geez, that might leave an unsightly bruise. ]

If I hit you back, it can't be helped. It's natural for someone to strike back defensively.

[swordboning]

[If one thing is true, she'll never have a Servant like him again!]

The entire point is to try and hit me back.

[brb tossing her a wooden sword he just traced and he keeps one for himself.]

[codere]

[ Catching it with reflexes a bit too precise for an ordinary teenager girl. Either she plays sports or knows what she's doing. ]

All out?

[swordboning]

I'll give you leave to go all out. I'll take it a little easy.

[codere]

Okay Archer. I'd like for you to do your best while taking it easy.

[ Holding his projected wooden shaft with both of her hands firmly. ]

You should come at me first so I can determine your speed.

[swordboning]

[If she wants to be like that, he's kind of just going to be right there in her face, kind of not whopping her in the face.

More like poking at her gut.]

[codere]

You should take this seriously, Archer!

[ And quit implying she's eating too much junk food. ]

I guess it's up to me to show you how it's done-! [ Incoming one swing with all of her strength behind it. ]

[swordboning]

[A loud CLONK as he sort of brushes it to the side. Come on, Rin. You'll never be on Saber or Lancer's level.]

I get the feeling swords aren't your thing. Still...

[brb taking a swipe at her ankles.]

[codere]

[ CRASH!!! That's one very visible panty flash and is that a hole cut in her skirt just for--yes, yes it is. ]

Ooooooh!! [ Swords definitely aren't her thing, but she's getting back to her feet rather quickly. ]

[swordboning]

[Extreme consternation. Next laundry day, that's getting fixed.]

Pay more attention to your footing or you're going to keep getting hurt. It would be extremely inconvenient for me if someone decided I wasn't worth fighting and targeted you instead at the skill level you stand at now.

[codere]

[ LEAVE HER BUTT HOLES ALONE. ]

If they did that, I'd kick them in the balls. [ Smooth. ]

[swordboning]

....not everyone is vulnerable to that technique.

[Double smooth.]

[codere]

They are if I kick them hard enough.

[ Look at these boots!! ]

[swordboning]

You've never fought with a non-humanoid in your life, have you?

[codere]

I made it to the end of the Holy Grail War. What do you think?

[ What she doesn't say is Lancer failed to and besides she's still under the assumption that Masters and Servants fight together. ]

[swordboning]

So, no.

[He's been in two grail wars and has only seen one monster thing!!]

[codere]

I'm fighting you right now, aren't I? [ DON'T SASS HER, ARCHER. ]

[swordboning]

What a cruel statement. What would have you done if you hurt my feelings?

[He flips the wooden sword around so she can grab it and have two. Let's try this.]

[codere]

[ Now she's truly an Archer class with her dual sticks. Huzzah. ]

Beat the softness out of you first of all. No Servant of mine can cry over words.

[swordboning]

When it comes to beating, you still have a thousand years before you can touch me.

[codere]

That's not a nice thing to say. I've been trained especially by the militia in order to defend myself so I can fight better than most girls.

Just not with these. [ Waving both of the sticks around in her hands. ]

[swordboning]

Your militia may have been amazing for its time but I have more experience and expertise than they ever would have. Besides, any soldier should be prepared to use any weapon because what they use well, they may not have on hand.

[codere]

So what?

You're going to teach me how to use a sword just in case those are laying around?

[ Just... going to swing them at him in an attempt to hit him. Diiiie. ]

[swordboning]

[Hopping back! Try even faster.]

I'm teaching you to use them because I can create them. Unlike a certain King of Heroes, if there is an emergency, I would probably temporarily loan you a Noble Phantasm. You're not going to kill a supernatural being with anything else.
