[@vancexentan] [@Enkryption] [@The Irish Tree] [quote]“I’m curious, though, since you haven’t shut up about it since we arrived, what’s gotten you so scared, Saber,” Scarlett says. “Why are you in such a rush? Afraid a skeleton might turn you into a frightened bitch or something,” she asks, “or did you get summoned in a weakened state, and you don’t know if you can actually hold you ground in prolonged combat?” “Doesn’t bother me, either or, but your incessant whining about how “uncomfortable” you are is getting old, Goldilocks. So, cry about it later in your diary, and stop distracting every conversation with it. Have some pride as a Knight of the Round, at least.”[/quote] [color=00aeef]".....Fran."[/color] [color=39b54a]"Ah."[/color] Less than 3 words were exchanged between the Master and Servant but the level of understanding and meaning was enough to get the message across, which is why Fran quickly walked over and held Mordred by the scruff of her armor to prevent the blonde knight from plowing through Lancer and separating Scarlett's head from her body. [color=00aeef]"Scarlett, you clearly know more about a lot of things than I do. From my standpoint, I'd say you probably even forgotten more about said things than I'll ever know. So when, in your infinite wisdom, is it a good idea to poke the proverbial angry bull? In the middle of hostile territory? During a mission where Humanity, as we know it, is at stake?"[/color], asked Conner in a deadpanned tone. Then he saw Scarlett pull her gun on Elise, startled. That got the most incredulous eyebrow raise from the young Griggs heir. [color=00aeef][i]And now she's pulling her weapon on teammates. This woman vexes me at every turn...[/i][/color] [quote]"...Leon, I’m seconding her staying behind to resupply. We can’t run around all night and day, so having a place be potentially safe enough to rest up will help." “More so, if you do find a Team A Master or Servant,” Scarlett says, as if nothing had happened, “You can't rely solely on Elise to heal on the road. Having a place to lay low is better for the long term,” she says, “Even a temporary one, since I can just scout out a new safehouse and defense it, as many times as needed. Such is the boon of Alchemy.”[/quote] [color=00aeef]"I concur with the ladies, Leon. We're very well in the thick of it and the only info we have to work with is that Fuyuki is a dark, barren ghost town and a murder scene of an Einzbern back at the landing point. It's best to play it safe and have a shelter that we can fall back to at any given time. As they say, 'Rome wasn't built in a day'....pardon the rhyme."[/color] [quote]Bunbuku bonked Elise in the head. “Baaaka~” she drawled, very Kansai region, as she chides, “That trusting nature of your is more dangerous than your Magecraft. You should sneak up on people, if you aren't going to kill them. Honestly, you could serve to be a bit more lady-like.” Elise recoiled as she was hit on the head, saying: "You just let me worry about that…also, fucking, OW." “Pain is our greatest teacher,” both Bunbuku and Scarlett quoted, “Confucius said that.” A moment of silence passed, before Master and Caster started attempting to "jinx" each other and racking up a vending machine's worth of sodas. Elise would stare in abject confusion, before looking to Leon. "...Uh, Leon, I think we should go before Scarlett manages to steal my Servant from me."[/quote] [color=00aeef]"Yes, let's get a move on. Since we'll be down to three, Saber can be vanguard while Berserker brings up the rear if that's good with you, Cap."[/color] [color=39b54a]"Hmmm. Ah."[/color], added Fran, still holding onto Mordred in case the Saber is still livid from Scarlett's comment.
