Giorgio Armadi
[Mion River, Under the Bridge] 

Well, it appeared that at the very least Giorgio was able to use quick wit in order to break Berserker’s restraints on his person. At the very least he had overcome the potential threat of “getting killed”, something that many people would consider to be “successful”.

Even better, Giorgio was able to retain control of his Command Seals. He did not want to be forced to make Berserker listen to his orders through implementation of a Spell. If he had felt his life was in true danger, he would not have hesitated to protect himself, but even with having his Servant have a disfavorable opinion of his person. At the very least, he was glad that she was no longer wanting to rip his throat out. 

[color=Gold][i]“Small gains are still good,” [/i][/color] Giorgio thought to himself. Though he had put on a rather brave face in the wake of his Servant attempting to murder him, he could not say that he was not afraid for his own life. Though believing in his ability to talk himself out of many situations, he was almost certain that was going to end up badly. 

[color=Gold] “A wish, eh?” [/color]

Both Servants and Masters tended towards a desire to obtain within the world. Everyone has the desire to obtain something. 

Perhaps it is to obtain material good.

Perhaps it is to change an event in one's life.

Perhaps it is to change an aspect about yourself. 

Giorgio cannot say that he believed in any of these concepts. He was merely a man who felt there could exist a bit of excitement in his life had he joined this back-water ritual. Giorgio already had the finer things in his life. Designer Full-grain leather clothes; jacket, pants, gloves, boots, the lot, wealth, a bit of [in]fame even. Spring break only comes once a year. however Giorgio this “once a year” constituted the entire year, but that was an irrelevancy. 

[color=Gold] “Don’t you think it is a bit too early to drink. Ha ha ...  I still haven’t even had my morning coffee yet.“ [/color]

Well, he did offer his Servant fine wine. Even if it was in passing, Giorgio was not someone to go back on their promises. If his Servant wanted wine after he had offered, he would accomplish his goals. After all, he was not someone to take promises without first being willing to commit to them. A man’s word is, above all else, his most important possession. 

Berserker edged on his follow by looking towards her Master, as she had put it only in name, to bring her to the promised wine. Giorgio was not upset with this arrangement. He had not planned to force his Servant to act as a familiar would in the first place. Though Servants could be compared to “high ranking familiars”, they were not truly the same thing. Servants were once people, and their projection of their legend brought them to the Throne to be summoned to battle. And being a “person” made Giorgio not want to impose himself forcefully on them. After all, everyone is entitled to their own agency as individuals. 

[color=Gold] “Act as you wish. I have no reason to chain you down. I lifted your madness for that reason, did I not? Even though you might not wish to have a positive opinion of me, I still think you are entitled to your own thoughts. I will say that I would prefer you not be so rough next time. However, I will prove you in this war I am more than a suitable Master for you. I, Giorgio Armadi, have a dream: to win this war! Though I might not have any reason for truly winning, since I had summoned a Servant that wishes to win, out of respect I shall give my all to become victorious.” [/color]

Giorgio had placed his hand upon his jacket collar and pulled it slightly to the side, keeping his other hand upon his hip in a somewhat flamboyant fashion akin to his own clothing. After all, fashion and appearance was important to Giorgio. Maybe overly so. 

Mad Enhancement of such a high rank tends towards making a Servant a drooling creature controlled by their own Master. A competent Master could act as a Jockey to a horse and control them like some sort of animal. However, Giorgio felt that this disgraceful position was less-than-optimal for his humanist philosophies. Even if he would have to kill other Masters potentially, he would at least offer them the ultimatum before such. 

[color=Gold] “But if you want wine, we shall look for a bar post-haste. Though I would suggest keeping youself in corporal form for the time being. People of our time are a bit weirded out by that sort of garb and I would say it would paint a pretty solid picture on our back.” [/color]

Well, a Servant at a bar would probably end badly. At least it was early so there would not be as many people thankfully. And even if it was early and a bar not open, they could most likely find a liquor store to drink in a more private location. Of course, the latter of the options was more likely, as a Servant who takes the garb of a warrior is more than likely to be seen as "odd" in a store. That being said, Giorgio would likely be able to convince the other they could simply a cosplayer. Probably.
