estoria | open to all;

Who: Archer

swordboning and YOU. (Maybe Athena too)
When: December 15th and on
Where: Right here where you need him. At least in the streets.
What: Golden Archers is sadly open. Come get your top tier food of choice.
Rating/Warning: Nah.

[Archer was fully cringing at the emblem Athena made and the fact that it was pasted on his apron. Well, inwardly at least. Athena got to have her way with the things went around here since she was the one who put in the money and most of the work. That meant her lame idea of what was great ended up plastering almost anything that had the surface for it.

But for a food stall, there was a serious lack of menu. Archer, though, intentionally wanted that. Restricting himself would only be admitting that he couldn't make things that people wanted outside of said menu. Obviously, there were some restrictions because supplies of some things were exceedingly rare or impossible to find. Which meant that rich people places had to be visited for that. But here were reasonable prices for fresh cooked food.]

Before you ask, there's no menu. So just tell me what you want.

[Customer service needed a little bit of work, however. And no, Saber, you weren't getting any free food.]

[All she's going to get from him is a smirk.

Smooth playa here.]

[ Until she spits out her food instead of swallowing it.

WHAT THEN?? ]

Was it really that bad?

[That's what. Still taunting.]

No, I was just caught off-guard. Saying romantic things like that where anyone can hear... What if people got the wrong idea about us?

[ So rude. ]

How would someone get the wrong idea? Unless you're saying you don't want people to know that we're dating.

[Archer is not good at faking hurt faces. So the smile stays.]

I don't mind it if people know.

[ Sighing as she kicks the food on the ground away from the cart. ] I just don't want people to think I'm taking advantage of you.

Thinking like that is pointless. Everyone is more than aware that I'm too stubborn to go for something like that. If someone does think that, I'll take care of them.

[Archersplanations. He seems completely confident about it.]

Good. [ Working on finishing off the crepe. ]

Another.

Another, please?

[Thankfully, he was ready for that request.]

I thought you were going to walk around with one, not scarf them down.

You commented that I don't gain any weight so where's the harm in me eating five or six before I start walking them off?

[ What a brat. ] Do I really have to use please? I'm paying you, aren't I?

If you eat five or six, I might run out of supplies used to make them.

[This isn't a crepe restaurant.]

And you should practice saying please with me so it comes naturally elsewhere.

I'm pleasant when I speak to others. [ She's not. ]

Is that why I have to tell people to try harder to get along with you?

[He actually doesn't but he probably would. Athena has his back though.]

You seriously have to tell people that? Why do you bother?

... well, I know why you bother. It's not necessary.

No, not really. I was just seeing how you'd react to hearing that. It's pointless to lie to me either way.

How many lies have you told since you've come here? Just curious.

That all depends on what you consider a lie and who I've said it to. To you, I've only done it in jest.

Anything that isn't the truth is a lie, Archer. That's the definition of a lie.

[ Not that she thinks it's anything worth making a big deal out of. ]

I don't think withholding information is a lie. I'll admit I do that a lot.

I won't ask you how much you've held back from me. [ She's not foolish to think otherwise. ]

Finish my crepe and I'll be out of your way.

If it helps, I've always answered your specific questions thoroughly.

[Wrapping it up, sheesh! Here, take this Rin.]

[ Takes it. ] This one is on the house.

Because you're a swell guy, Archer.

Oh... and if there is anyone who is starving, I expect you to put them on my tab. [ Taking a bite and speaking around a full mouth: ] Make sure they know just who they owe when they get back on their feet.

You almost impressed me with your selflessness until that last sentence.

[On the house. Thank you, Rin.]

It'd be good if I need to call in a favor or two, wouldn't it? Besides that, there's no point in being selfless here.

Personally, I can't stand selflessness so I'm not going to judge.
