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.

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

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. ]

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.

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. ]

[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.

[ GOTTA GO FAST. ] Ehh?! You'd just let me borrow one of your Noble Phantasms like that?

Is it all right for a girl to touch a man's sword in public? I don't know.

First off, they aren't mine. They're copies.

Secondly...

[Shrug and a smiling sigh. That annoying one.]

...with your attitude, maybe a lance would be far more suitable.

Ah! Can you make a copy of the Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death?!

[ Her eyes light up with delight at the name. ] Please, oh please. Come on, I want to see it. Show your Master you can make any weapon!

You're crazy.

[And it takes a few moment. Powerful Phantasms take a bit, which was why he loved his dual swords. They were simple to trace.

Once it was done, he tosses his Gay Bulge into the ground.]

That's the only request I'll do.

Crazy?

[ Throwing both his wooden swords to the ground, she approaches it with her hands clasped in front of her chest. It's almost as if he warmed her heart with the gesture that pierced his own. ]

Ahh, it looks just like the real thing. This is great craftsmanship, Archer!

I may be a hero without pride but I refuse to have anything but perfection.

[Don't get him started on weapons.]

[ Are those tears in her eyes? She's just swelling up with pride at the sight of the weapon before her. ]

I kind of miss that idiot. It might have only been for a few weeks, but he was the closest thing to a friend I had until Hakuno.

I don't miss him at all.

[The rudest.]

You don't even know who I'm talking about. [ Okay so maybe he has an inkling about it since she did just ask him to create his weapon.

Touching it gently, she tries to contain her feelings.

It doesn't work. ] L-Lancer was my champion in the Moon Cell and my best friend. I don't mind spending time with you, Archer, but there's a part of my heart he'll have. My survival was due to both him as well as Hakuno.

... and you too, I guess.

I know exactly who you're talking about. Lancer, the Hound of Ireland. I fought him twice, one time because he was trying to kill you.

[The second because....not going there.]

He's loud, brash, and annoying.

He tried to kill me? [ She was having a moment here and now she's not. ]

That asshole.

I hope you killed him!

I think he killed himself.

[He certainly burned himself...]

Guh, I don't even have the satisfaction of having someone who can best him as my Servant now. This is the pits, you know.

[ Her mood swings around fast than she can move those sticks at least. ]

Please excuse me for not being perfect, Princess. I'll certainly strive harder next time.

You can't strive harder next time because he's dead. [ Throwing a sword at his stupid face. ]

[DUCKING.]

What was that for?

You pissed me off by reminding me that my real Servant is dead! Now I have to deal with a substitute who seems to think I should learn to fight with a stupid sword!

[ What a brat.
Definitely ten times brattier than the one he's used to!!! ]

I'll not take the blame for that. You're the one who asked the questions to begin with.

[Just making another sword, who even cares.]

Yeah, but any decent human being would have lied to keep me happy. [ Hmph. ]

Which means I can expect you to be honest at any given time.

When I don't want you to know something, I won't tell you. I thought we already established that, Rin.

[Seeing as he hasn't said a single word about his past.]

Besides, what kind of monster could lie to a girl?
