SECOND WISH ♔ ( AMBER )

[knight_king]

[Saber's face immediately appears on the amber surface and, from behind her, there are glimpses of Chime's recently opened shop.]

Good morning. To those who were not aware, the spirit known as Chime has just opened her shop and brought wares that are not available to us in the tree. [She is inwardly pleased to know that means this creature too can leave the tree somehow, but she will try to communicate with her later.] However, these items are not free and we cannot afford them alone. Their stock seems to be very limited as well. The answer is obvious, many of us surely have concluded that the solution is reuniting with close allies to purchase the desired ware with them, but I will suggest something else.

[She has been speaking about this matter with some people already, but she has had no time to propose an assembly outdoors to discuss the organization overall they could have to improve their lives and call a vote. She pauses to make her proposal.]

There are basic items such as food or the string of yarn, among others, that are of a general interest. Why do not we, the potential purchasers, donate them in benefit of all of us? We should assign a space as a storeroom to keep all what belongs the community and be sure that they are given a fair use.

[If this is accepted, she will bring up the delegated tasks for those who are specialized in different fields to optimize their lifestyles. Because raw ingredients could be better utilized in hands of good cooks than inexpert ones.]

If you do not agree, it is fine. I only wanted to address that, for the time being, we are expected to live together and a cohesive group stands stronger than one that lives with cordial divisions.

D- D- Don't worry! It won't happen, I promise! [ She's trying to be reassuring even though her slightly panicky state will probably not help matters by much. ]

I wouldn't want to make onii-chan worry anyway, so I'm sure that it won't happen. I mean, it's never happened before... [ Calm down, Illya, she tells herself before sighing. ] Um. I'll try my best.

amber;

[knight_king]

[ She seems always tense. She wonders if she is not frighten her. Shirou wants her to stay and while, if she were the Berserker's Master she knew, she would have probably objected, this girl was no magus or Master and she was Shirou's sister.

Then- ]

If Shirou worries, it is also my concern. [ She points out. ] Thank you for volunteering.

amber;

[2wei]

[ She shakes her head several times in response. ]

It's no problem at all, Saber-san! I'm just glad to help!

amber;

[knight_king]

[ She gives her a faint smile. ]

Will you donate your stone for the greater good, then?

amber;

[2wei]

I don't mind, Saber-san! I'll meet with you whenever you're ready to buy what we need, is that okay?

amber;

[knight_king]

I am waiting at the fourth floor, meet me now and take Shirou's stone with you.

[ She's confident her Master will support her decisions. ]

amber;

[2wei]

...

[ Um. Saber, about that-- ]

Can't I just take onii-chan with me? [ That way she isn't accused of stealing a second time. It's better to ask permission first than get scolded later! ]

amber;

[knight_king]

[ It is not stealing. It is the lawful loan decreed by the person who rules the household. Shirou is always almost always last. ]

...I suppose it would not hurt if he judges if the ingredients are fresh before we purchase them.

[ He'll cook them, so his input may be of importance. ]

amber;

[2wei]

[ ... Poor, poor Emiya Shirou. ]

Mmhm! And since onii-chan's a good chef, he should know if it's good or not.

amber;

[knight_king]

[ She is an obedient Servant when is necessary. ]

He is. [ She smiles warmly. ] Shirou's food is the best I have eaten.

amber;

[2wei]

You must really like onii-chan's food a lot. [ Illya returns the warm smile with one of her own, agreeing with her completely. ]

amber;

[knight_king]

Yes, indeed. Shirou has a natural talent for housechores. [ She is not letting Archer insult his cooking skills so easily! ] His parameters for this personal Skill must be at least A.

amber;

[2wei]

Uhuh, onii-chan is really amazing! Sometimes Sella onee-chan gets angry at him because he ends up doing all the work and leaves her without anything to do.

amber;

[knight_king]

[ She does not know who Sella is. ]

Hm. I see. He is certainly committed to look after the house. [ This has not changed, even if his primary objective is to become an ally of justice. ] It gladdens me to hear that my Master remains as dutiful in your dimension, Illyasviel.

amber;

[2wei]

Mm, he really is. [ There's a determined nod of head as she bobs it up and down like a bobble head toy. ]

I guess onii-chan is onii-chan no matter which world he's in!

amber;

[knight_king]

[But you are different, she thinks and compares her briefly to the more malicious girl who introduced herself as the first Master Rin and Shirou fought together.

She changes the topic.]

Tell Shirou to make haste. There is only one strip of bacon in stock.

amber;

[2wei]

Roger! [ She makes a salute before signing off. Looks like she has a big brother-- I mean, Shirou, to find. ]

amber -> action ?

[knight_king]

My thanks.

[She smiles faintly and waits for their arrival.]

action; illya > shirou > saber order??

[2wei]

[ Illya doesn't think it's a problem at all, truthfully. She's somehow going to drag Shirou with her (?!) telling him that this is really important and if that doesn't work, well, there's always the puppy dog look.

That never fails.

(Probably.)

At least they won't have to literally drag him by any means because well, it would just be rude if they just knocked him out and dragged him that way. BUT YES, THEY CAN FINALLY HAVE FOOD. Hopefully it's... fresh enough for onii-chan to cook.

In any case, she's going on ahead! Though she does look over her shoulder every once in a while just in case before she sees Saber, waving with a grin. ]

Saber-saaaan! [ Oh, and Ruby's hovering nearby as well, but don't mind that. ]

illya > shirou > saber

[onlypath]

Hey, Saber!

[it wouldn't take much for Illya to need to convince Shirou to come along with her. after tidying up (what little there was left to tidy) around the house, the young redhead had taken off to just outside the tree when his 'sister' had caught him. luckily for him, flying hadn't been as hard as learning magecraft was so he was following behind the young Einzbern easily enough, raising his hand in acknowledgment of the blonde waiting for them up ahead. he had his stone on hand as well. some normalcy would be nice... what would they do with all that pork anyways? only an Emiya would know how]

Sorry if I was late. [Illya had to find him after all]

illya > shirou > saber

[knight_king]

[ Saber has her back on the stands and faces the light of the Life Stream, waiting, always keeping a prudent distance of that radiance. That light just makes her feel too comfortable and loved, it unnerves her to feel so content when she is undeserving of that emotion.

She will rather remain steadfast and focused. She asked Illyasviel to bring Shirou here, and despite of her knowledgeable she would not harm her Master, she still felt a little of apprehension with her. She is not Berserker's Master. She never was, this Illyavsviel, she is Shirou's sister. At least a Shirou in one world. And she has an innocent, unsullied heart that makes her want to protect her too.

Arturia glances at them, she sees Illya and Shirou raising their hands. The girl is waving. She silently nods in greeting and ignores the talking staff for now.]

Hm. The food supplies have not sold out yet, so you are not late, Master.

[2wei]

That's good! [ She beams as she finally gets herself to land onto the ground with a click of her heels, putting the stone in her pocket for safekeeping. ]

We need to make sure the food is safe enough to eat first, though.

[onlypath]

[with one last buzz of his dragonfly wings, Shirou pocketed his own day gem as well as they came to greet Saber. he was interested in the condition of this piece they were going to buy. it was difficult to rationalize it until he could see it for himself. it was a piece of bacon apparently... how were they going to split that up? he was already psyching himself up for it being huge considering how tiny they all were, but he had to reserve himself least he was disappointed. so long as it was eadible, he'd happily play his part]

The best way to tell is by the smell and the color of it- sometimes the texture too. Even if it doesn't smell bad, if it doesn't look right, we gotta be careful.

[perhaps they couldn't be too picky if this was one of their only shots at getting genuine meat to cook with. now if he had rice too...]

Let's go check it out.

[knight_king]

I agree with you.

[ Saber assents at Illya's caution, glancing at Shirou so he will be the one tasked to inspect if the bacon and egg were good. She falls a step behind Shirou, peering the stand contents. ]

Just as I thought. You are very knowledgeable about food. And the egg? Can you discern if it is good to purchase as well?

[2wei]

[ Illya nods several times as she listens to her older bro- no, to Shirou's explanation, walking alongside the two of them without straggling too far behind. She was also amazed at the fact that the food was big here- now, if only food were like that back at home, then they'd end world hunger! - it would make life easier. But all worlds had their problems it seemed. ]

Is it even possible to cook the egg, onii-chan? It would probably be too difficult to cook it as a sunny-side up egg, I think... [ Not that Illya knows much about cooking besides what Fujimura-sensei taught her in class.

But they are not eating the egg raw. And it's there where her stomach kind of rumbles. ... Ahaha. ] I- I haven't eaten anything yet today...
