SECOND WISH ♔ ( AMBER )

[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.

They are one and the same.

[now he's a bit confused, why wouldn't they be similar? One is just the other isn't it?]

An opinion could be an interpretation of an ideal, though if it is the same, then so be it.

[She has assumed it was an ideal first, the ideal fought and pursued of 'freedom' perhaps.]

[In essence? It's hard to figure out exactly what that means since his goals are all toward getting back Kou and removing from the world those he can't stand being in it.]

....

[Really that leaves him more confused, everyone back home fought to defend their opinions. Their right to think the way they want to, not just the way expected of them. To follow fate and the road set out for them, or to curse it and carve their own.]

[She calmly gazes at him and wonder the significance of that silence. Silence speak as much as words do, and like words, they hold difference meanings.]

If you ever experienced death in the battlefield. [She adds after a while, helpful from her cordial distance. Death by brush, death by the loss of something or someone precious.] What drives you onward in that desperate moment and pushes your will to win and live is your ideal.

[The time where all rationality might fade and one is stripped to the core, men cling to the secret exaltation they wish to reach.]

Both my brothers and father are dead, killed by the witch's hands.

[Ultimately at least.]

It was my brother's dying wish that Kou be freed from her and her followers hands.

[Close enough at least, all he'd heard was his mother is responsible because of Al Thaman. He'd been six at the time, and pretty confused from the fire and everything going on. He'd let himself get side-tracked and forget his goal. He let his country being taken from his hands.]

Then that is what you are seeking to achieve.

[She assents. There could be something else, but it will pale to the foundation of everything. Once the goal is clear, the actions one performs could be varied.]

When you said to be from someone's will, you mean of this witch's.

Yes and No.

I'm tired of people telling me what a feel, what I wish to do is wrong simply because it involves my family or will lead to a fight. That someone is going to die.

I can not forgive those who have wronged me.

[Even if he knows he should, he knows he can't.]

Would you feel this as strongly without this witch's interference?

[She asks. She is not disagreeing, she wants to know if he knows the source of all things.]

I don't think so, My brothers would still be alive, as would my father.

[His mother might still be his mother. It's kind of hard to imagine, he was young at the time. Who knows life might still have found a way to turn him into who he is.

Though that's not a thought he likes.]

So the witch is the cause.

[One cannot change the past, or shouldn't change the past, a lesson she learned after exorcizing her many regrets, or at least part of them. Though, she does not want to hurt his feelings.

He seems already in pain without her queries. But she has to wonder, if that witch did not cause this on purpose. She wonders if he is truly free by fighting her like that.]

Do you feel more free now?

I don't have to pretend that I am who I'm not.

[Though for a moment there was that second in Belial's dungeon where he'd wanted to do something and couldn't despite his efforts, but that's small moment he pays no mind too.

His brothers are getting avenged, he's doing what Hakuyuu told him too. It's worth it. He doesn't have to bow to his uncle while pretending books are all he was interested in or capable of. He doesn't have to sneak around his house to avoid Al Thaman taking notice of him.]

I'm not hiding from anyone.

Not many men realize who they are in their youth. Or have a real understanding of themselves.

[Because then, reality marbles would be more common, if people truly understood themselves in their totality. She does not need to tell him aloud he should be cautious, because that might still be a partial understanding.

And a partial understanding leads eventually to regrets so profound that are difficult to overcome.]

What about in this place?

Hmm.

[He really doesn't. He's not looking to take over, so outside of getting home-and maybe a shot at whoever brought them here- he doesn't have a set goal.]

I don't know, I'd hope to be home before now.

Strange circumstances far away from our homelands sometimes allow us to discover another side of ourselves that we ignored.

[She explains and speaks of her personal experience. She never stopped her function "King" until she became a Servant of the Grail War.]

They are no more or less truthful than you really are.

As long as getting back becomes a possibility.

[He knows who he is pretty well, or at least thinks he does strongly enough for it to not matter.]

That's all that matters to me.

All of us will leave.

[She says with a certainty. She will not let Rin or Shirou rot in this tree.]

When the chances arise. Until then, think about what will you do in the mean time.

I don't see another option.

[Which he's not certain of.]

Creating new recipes, for example. We are short in the variety of the ingredients.

[She proposes something like this with a serious expression.

He said he could cook, so in other words, Saber thinks is important that he does.]

[Of all the things he's asked to focus on...actually he'd expect this sort of request from some people he knows, so maybe he shouldn't be so surprised.

Though he does stare a bit.]

With nuts, leaves and berries? And that meat you spoke of I'm not sure there's much to do.

I can try.

[Because he'll be bothered at some point he thinks by someone else.]

[ooc: this is his surprised icon for the moment.]

I look forward seeing the results of your recipes, Ren.

[She smiles -faintly and fleetingly- when he agrees to try. It does not matter the reason why he does it, she is satisfied with this outcome. This will do him some good. He seems to have find some distraction to potentially lessen that heaviness of spirit potentially he seemly carries and he has agreed to finally live with a friend.]

Then, I will not bother you any longer.

[Her presence is no longer needed when what she believes he needs the most have been taken care of. Not the exit, she will look for a solution. And the healthcare wing, she is looking to make it happen soon.]

I should go look for Judar.

[He's not sure if he's left the area he'd first found him. That was going to be a challenge, coming up with something to keep Judar entertained...without breaking something that might be important later.

He should do something with the food he's been given. They gave him a bag didn't they? He'd nearly forgotten the thing. So the ration gets put away, while he digs the blue gem out of the folds of his robe where he's hidden it.]

I'm sure you'll find out if I figure anything out.

Judar? Is that the name of your ally? [Saber asks, learning his name for the future. In case she wants to ask if Ren has food and a warm shelter.] Good luck.

[If she finds out it is because it will be a strongly aromatic meal. She assents and fishes up the yellow gem from her dress.]

That sounds promising. Good luck, Ren.

Yes, it is. He can be interesting to deal with. [He's not sure how well the two of them will get along but their the only ones who can decide that.

And off he goes, back down to where he thinks Judar was the last time he saw him.]
