[Semi Open] A little welcome surprise

[bluespearmanofthewind]

Who: Lancer, Rin, Archer, and anyone close to Rin!
When: 01/30
Where: CERES' Garden
What: Welcoming the "too brave and annoying" Rin back to this world.
Rating/Warning: None!

[It has been a few days since Rin arrived to the city. Lancer has made a little promise to keep so he's already preparing for her arrival.

His way of welcoming are... a bit odd. Lancer flies through Rin's apartment and without reserve he goes inside and maybe catch Rin by surprise.]

Yo Little Lady Jr! I'm borrowing your for a while!

[With that, he lifts Rin up, who he knows very well might not remember him, and puts a blindfold on her eyes. He then gets out from her apartment and flies around the city. Much like an abduction.]

I'm going to take you for a walk a little!

[He soon arrives at the designated place where he gathers people who are close to Rin with the help of Archer, puts Rin down and takes her to the waterfall.]

Are you ready? I'm taking it off!

[With that, Lancer puts away the blindfold and a big confetti follows him up with a big "Welcome Back!" banner being spread through by Lancer and Archer. Kinda unexpected for them to work together. There's a little food to enjoy nearby because Lancer has been fishing for a while. Anybody close to Rin can enjoy the mingle here to refresh some of her memories!]

T-torture?! [His hold loosens as he blinks in confusion.]

Did I make a mistake?!

[faithfulflame]

That's...quite an arsenal.

[Rei's not much of a weapons nut, but she does sense the general enthusiasm in Rin, and decides to play along. She peers down at the knife, blanching just a bit at the sight of the gun, but still obviously interested.]

I've never seen many guns, at least not up close. You collect them?

[swordboning]

[Soft sigh. Yes, it was like Rin was trying her hardest to embarrass him.]

Is that what you're focusing on here?

[codere]

I could focus on the fact you allowed an enemy Servant to abduct me right under your nose. [ Hmph. ]

[swordboning]

How do you know I wasn't complicit in this operation?

[codere]

[ That silent, but knowing glance towards the food says it all for her. If he was involved in this, he would have made sure certain things were handled by his own hands instead of leaving them to others. ]

[swordboning]

[On the other hand, Archer shrugging and huffing right now probably indicates some form of manship. One formed when two men have to sit through manicures and pedicures together.]

[codere]

[ That's right, she remembers a bit too late. Lee takes every statement made literally. ]

N-No, I just mean..!

I'm not used to this kind of thing!

[codere]

[ Rin's more embarrassed that she's looking down at her legs like that even if she did pull up her skirt to show it off. What a troublesome girl she turned out to be. ]

Yes. Firepower will be essential whenever this colony falls apart.

[ She speaks her paranoia as if it's something that's on everyone's mind. ] If the plants in the gardens are sentient, then who knows what's beyond the perimeter of CERES' safety net.

[codere]

[ Threesome?? ]

[codere]

What's with that stupid look you're giving me now?

[ It isn't fair.

She doesn't have weeks worth of experience in the Holy Grail War with his stupid Master any more to rely on. ]

[swordboning]

[Don't get any dumb ideas, Rin.]

My stupid look is telling you that your stupid look is wrong.

[faithfulflame]

[Rin's the one showing off, Rei's not exactly sure how to take it.]

I suppose it will be, won't it? If half of what I've heard is rumored to be out there is true then there's no telling what we'll need.

[Monsters, mostly.]

The garden was bad enough. So I'm just going to hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. I'd like more time to prepare, you know.

[codere]

I don't have a stupid look at all!

[ Hiding her face behind her hands and turning around to show him her back. Jerk!

One thing's for sure: she's a lot easier to embarrass since she's come back. ]

[swordboning]

It'd be a smart look if you were somewhere close to actually being correct. Since you weren't...

[He walks over, mostly to put his hands on her shoulders.]

...I'll accept it as is.

[niceguypose]

[Only most statements!!]

Oh, I see! So, you want me to help you get used to it? I would be honored to! [Squeezing intensifies.]

[codere]

You're so mean to me, Archer.

[ Kicking at the ground. ]

[swordboning]

How would you like me to be nicer?

[codere]

I don't know.

[ Always with the frustrating questions. How is she supposed to answer that when she's just getting used to being around him once more? ]

... You could hold my hand while we're sitting.

[codere]

That's not what I was getting at!

[ It does feel kind of nice to have this attention from someone, but Lee?! He's her friend. ]

[swordboning]

I could, yes. But that does remind me...

...I'll be back in a couple minutes.

[Yes, turning to walk off.]

[niceguypose]

N-no? I apologize! [He just gives too much attention to his friends... With that, he finally releases her and gives an apologetic bow.]

[codere]

Oh... all right.

[ Surprisingly just going to stand there and let him go. ]

[codere]

Don't worry, I think we'll be given enough time for that.

[ Flipping her skirt down. ] Even still, it doesn't hurt to collect what you can for supplies in case of another power outage or something along those lines. Humans get desperate to take back what they feel is being denied to them when the fear and discomfort gets to be too much.

I think.

[ It hurts to try to think about that. ]

[swordboning]

[He's back minutes later, with a dozens roses in hand. And a smile for Rin.]

Here, this is for you from me.
