But my life is more than a vision--
| characters | Archer, Shirou, Rin, and whoever wants to join them in their endeavor. Feel free to tag multiple headers and jump threads within them!
| date/time | Monday, May 4th, onwards through the rest of the week.
| location | Outside the tree, near the mists.
| rating | PG for now, who knows later.
| summary | A complicated series of domestic scenes unfold as Archer, Shirou, and Rin set to work building a miniature kitchen out where they can have real fire, only to be interrupted by a storm.
It's been almost three weeks since Archer and Rin arrived in the center of the tree and gained their wings, only to be met by Shirou and Saber as well. That's just about enough time for it to dawn on those who might be concerned with the domestic details of day-to-day life that they have such a thing here, in between the confusion, the struggle to organize, and the fears of more giant spiders.
Archer's highest priority might be the salvation of all the souls around him, as much as he hates it, but bit by bit a new concern creeps up on him, almost unconsciously. Every time he serves Rin a subpar, barely-cooked meal, it pains him a little deep inside where he thought he was only hollow.
He decides to act.

Damn it, Saber! Put me down! Please..!
[it was too late for now. Tohsaka, he could depend on Archer to protect...and despite his regrets, it was in his nature to want to help others in the end, wasn't it? and yet...what about Shirou? what could he do?]
Saber!!
[the least that he could do was hold onto Illya's hand tightly, holding on for dear life and not wanting to let go. she could probably protect herself and make it back. she was strong...but it was all that he had right now until they made it back to the tree. was he really saving her? was he helping? he didn't know, but his protests fell on deaf ears as he left it to Archer, and could only hope that he was lucky that no one else was in danger out here]

She wouldn't let go of Shirou's hand. Not simply because she was told to, but because she didn't want to see him do something reckless. He seemed frustrated, angry. While Miyu's Shirou was like that too, towards the Ainsworths, this Shirou... had no reason like that. So why? Why would he go this far? Why was he acting like this?
It didn't make sense to her as the gears in her head turned, trying to comprehend it.
Instead, she worried for him, squeezing onto Shirou's hand even tighter. ]
Onii-chan!! Don't... [ Her voice was slightly strained as those words passed through her lips. She sounded as if she were in pain. ] Don't be so reckless, Shirou-san.
no subject
You too, Shirou. Do not let go of Illyasvielโs hand.
[If he trashes and squirms to be difficult, he could cause trouble to his sister. It is a reasoning that Saber hopes will work flawlessly. She knows she has an ally in the girl, even before picking up the painful-please from her mouth, almost muffle by the hale.
There is no time to argue, she has already taken off with them, spread fluttering as fast as she could to fly at the tree. The leaf she has injected her prana functions like an invisible shield, protecting them from the front gust of winds, created by the storm and her speed. In a matter of seconds, they cross the tree threshold to navigate inside up until they reach their door.]
omg this scene is so serious then that icon... LMAO
Grr..
[but he couldn't risk anything happening to Illya. that was right. if anything, he could at least do this for now. though it's second nature to him, Shirou's hand does hold onto Illya's tighter now as Saber carries them back. she really was amazing; even without being back home, she was still loyal to him...or rather, that wasn't proper to think either. even if she carried a vow to him to protect him, she was a knight who would protect anyone who needed her help. she understood... it was frustrating that he submitted like this, but as he held onto Illya for dear life as they crossed the tree threshold and moved up to their door, he also understood. with a thunderous boom and a lightning flash, once Shirou realized that they were inside where they were safe, he carefully let go of Illya's hand]
...you can put me down now, Saber. [was he trembling from the cold? or from something else?]
no subject
You're okay though... right, Shirou-san? [ She can't help but be slightly wary, slightly unsure. She doesn't feel like calling him the way she usually does, if only because he's not really her brother, after all. They're not even from the same world. ]
And, um, Saber-san, thanks for helping, too.
no subject
[ Her voice became stern when she addressed to Shirou. ]
A trembling blade will save no one. Let us strip you from those clothes and warm you, Master.
