[swordboning]

Who: Archer (swordboning), Saber (invisibleair), Rin (codere) and everyone that was invited!
When: November 11th (RIGHT NOW) ~4PM
Where: The Tohsaka Apartment
What: PARTY TIME. Well, a party so Rin can actually make friends since she secretly complains about not having any!
Rating/Warning: nupe

[Cooking for a large amount of people is what Archer was all about. Might as well call him the Chef Heroic Spirit instead of the Blacksmith Heroic Spirit. This guy was a complete pro in the kitchen and completely without complaint!

Tons of food, cake, and nachos and cheese and salsa (don't ask). Serving it was left up to Saber since she was still probably under punishment. Either way, she had to make up for her issues in some way!

So for everyone here, they just had to chill out and wait for Rin to return home. Which should be shortly if she's not trying to be an absolute brat. Which, admittedly, happens sometimes.]

Bearing with loneliness is one thing... [God knows, Ai's had to do that. Still, she smiles gently at the Master.]

And if you're strong enough to do so, then I shouldn't assume anything else. I don't know you after all.

But you know, how do you know if you're strong enough without someone else to test it against?

[codere]

I know I'm strong because if I believe otherwise, then I'll start to doubt myself. I can't allow that to happen again.

[ That again implies she's already gone through it once before. ]

[emotive]

[What Rin just said makes Ai Thao think; did she believe in her own strength even back in the beginning? Perhaps not; she depended on the virtue of her natural self to speak for itself, but it never translated well. But this isn't about her right now. Archer threw this party for his Master after all and Ai tries to level with her.]

Then I think that's fine too. But doubt isn't necessarily a bad thing. The less of it, the better though!

[codere]

Agreed. [ So short, it appears as if she's not the kind to speak, but when she does it's done so freely. ]

That's why I don't bother with things like mistrust and doubt. I believe in what I believe.

[emotive]

... That's actually very admirable.

I'll take those words to heart. [Not immediately, but it's something to think about. The perspective of people who are different from her are significant to Ai Thao after all.]

[codere]

You will? [ She's not used to people telling her these kind of things so she just kind of rolls with it. ]

Some more advice.

Don't just believe everything you're told. You're going to end up taking the wrong advice some day and believe in the wrong ideals. Let me tell you about wrong ideals.

[emotive]

[She's listening attentively!!]

Understood! [So serious about it too...]

I'm trying my best to distinguish what works for me and what won't.

[codere]

[ She is so serious about it, what the heckie. ]

... geez, you're kind of hopeless. That's kind of mean to say, but you're also kind of giving me no choice here.

I'll have to watch over you to make sure no one fills your empty head with dumb thoughts. What a pain.

[emotive]

[Hopeless? But wait she'll watch over her?? But it's a pain?? Ai parses Rin's words through her head, trying to make sense of them. In the end, Ai Thao guesses she means well...]

Um... I'll do my best from now on then! I look forward to talking with you more Miss Rin!
