[h2]Hayashi Mamoru-Arena[/h2]

Mamoru got a big grin on his face, not only at the idea of Berserker facing off against some really strong Servants, but definitely at the idea of ice cream afterwards!

"Yeah, let's do it! It'll be a celebration of your victory in the Arena!"

He paused and reflected for a second. It was definitely possible for Guan Yu to lose. After all, they were a newbie pairing and he hadn't really tested her in battle too much before this. Oh well. If they lost, the ice cream would be a consolation prize still.

"Go out there and kick butt, for ice cream!"

[h2]The Witch's Assassin[/h2]

The boy hopped up from his tangle of limbs and fancy clothes on the floor and grinned at the girl, who looked to be only a few years older than him.

"Too small to be a knight?! I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll have you know that I routinely beat enemies ten, no, one hundred times my own size without even breaking a sweat!" He seemed to blink out of existence and reappear next to the fruit bowl, grabbing an apple and munching down on it with gusto.

"Mmn! You jush dunno wha' ya deali' wiff, luchi o' wi...[b]nom![/b] lucking out with a super strong and noble knight like me! Whatever the ambitions are that drove you to summon a Servant, I'm the one who'll make 'em come true easy-peasy, ya got it?"

The boy did his best to pose heroically again, and even succeeded in not falling over for once.
