Good, the kid wasn't so stupid so as to go charging out like that. He'd been worried he'd have to knock the guy unconscious to keep him from doing anything idiotic. 

Well, could it really be called idiotic if it was for something you truly believed in? Yes, the answer was absolutely yes, but still.

At any rate, with Gin's question, Archer's expression tightened slightly. He'd figured that the kid had been listening to him earlier, when he'd already explained this much, but it seemed he'd need to put it in clearer terms.

[color=aba000]"See, kid, the problem is ya fundamentals are too shoddy. I could use it on ya now, but then you'd be 'complete', ya get it? I can't add shit after tha matta. Everything you get a bit better at before I train ya, ya'll get that magnified. It's like makin' an investment in advance, and see, you've got talent for ya magecraft but ya just don't have any of tha know-how. With my training, I can teach ya it, but tha more I have ta teach ya as far as fundamentals, the less you're able to get juiced up to eleven, y'hear?"[/color] He explained, waving a hand dismissively as he spoke, before pointing to the other eastern magus who was within the confines of the bar.

[color=aba000]"So, talk to that otha kid. Learn tha basics of ya magecraft, refine 'em, understand 'em past the slipshod shit ya've got right now."[/color]

A glint formed in his eyes, smirk splitting that pudgy face.

[color=aba000]"...once ya've done that, I'll turn ya into a threat that can fight these Servants on equal footin'."[/color]

The homunculus stumbled back as her Servant released her, a hand reaching up to massage her temples as she clenched her eyes shut. [color=a2d39c]"Ow, ow, ow. Okay, I'd more just been asking for your name and information on your Noble Phantasm, but reliving your life works too, I guess."[/color] She murmured out, rubbing her head for another few seconds before she straightened up. 

[color=a2d39c]"Well! Anyway, that helps a lot, actually. I was going to set up a workshop, but workshop creation isn't really my thing, and lucky us, we're still right by the water! Love it when a plan comes together. So, how about you summon that boat of yours and we hop on it, get a lil' bit of water distance between us and the docks, yeah?"

"I'm told the spooky scary things are those Knight Classes, even though that totally makes [i]zero[/i] sense to me, but anyway being on the ocean'll give us the edge against them, especially. Plus Mary'll be so excited. She's great, you'll love her. I've tricked her into thinking dried oregano is candy, she loves the stuff."[/color] She commented excitedly, punctuating that last statement with a brief giggle and rocking back on her heels. 

[color=a2d39c]"Anyway, yeah, boat please, if it's not too much trouble~!"[/color]

It was around this time, though, that two parties made their reappearance, thanks to the absurd speed now possessed by one of them. Despite that it had taken Mary a significant length of time to reach and cross the bridge, during which Carly-Beth had largely been setting up for and performing Strategist’s summoning, the return trip took an almost negligible length of time. 

“Hi, Miss Carly-Beth! I did the thing you asked me to do! Can I have a candy, please?”

[color=e8736d]“Kyaha, good evening, Maker. You may address me as the False World, Shaytan-Ea. The 「Great Devil's Mask of Primordial Rupture」. Do not disappoint my expecta-“[/color]

“Miss Shaytanea was super super fast! It was like ‘zoom’ and like ‘bang’ and then we were back here!”

[color=e8736d]“...once again, young one, it is Shaytan-Ea. Furthermore, you must use the proper terms of address when-“[/color]

[color=a2d39c]“Oh, can it, Shaytanea. Anyway. Strategist. Boat, please?”[/color]
