Amber ⚔ 1

[onlypath]

[how long has Shirou been here, using the amber every once in a while to talk to a couple of people, but never outright saying anything to the public? almost two months? how much time has passed? granted Shirou isn't much of a 'public speaker' so to speak.

otherwise whenever he finally got a cell phone his contacts list would be rather small. but here was a little different. everyone was just like him, right? they all came from different worlds, those that banded together to take on that snake some time ago (unfortunately he missed the aftermath), and even within his own circle of friends and allies...]

Hopefully everyone I met when that snake came a while ago is doing alright. I don't think there was a lot of time for us to get to know each other with everything going on, but,

[he lightly smiles before blinking into the amber. ...this was working, right? he was fine with technology and he's used it before. but not to talk to...well, everyone]

Ah...well, anyway, for anyone that I haven't met here yet, my name's Shirou Emiya. I'm from Fuyuki City in Japan, for anyone who might know where that is. Nice to meet you all. [what else? this wasn't like introducing himself in school. realizing that, he stops there]

Let's see...

To be honest, I'm not sure what else to say. We're all in the same situation here, but it's only a matter of time until we figure out a way to go back home. I like to think I'm pretty good at fixing things here. [but not just for fixing things] If anyone needs a hand with anything around here, let me know.

[a beat]

Yosh. That shou-

[talking to himself as he taps the amber, he doesn't realize he cut himself off. ah well, it was a start! now what to do for dinner tonight...]

Yes, and you should rectify that.

[She gently suggests him, taking the extra set of utensils and plate with her to set everything down on the table. She wishes Archer would reconsider joining them too, but Saber knows he will not accept any invitation Shirou issues... Maybe if Rin comes, so will Archer.

She is finishing setting the small cups when she glances at Shirou, impressed by his suggestion.]

I would not mind that, though do we have space? [She glances around to search for a good spot.]

[if Archer joined them, there would be unnecessary tension... as much as the two didn't get along, for the sake of everyone else, their clashing stances could wait. at least, since it seemed that things weren't going to get hostile like before]

That's just it... There's not a lot of places I can think of putting a bath- [aha! he pounds his fist into his open palm as it dawns on him]

What if we set something small on the balcony? We could set up some walls for privacy. [the gears were turning now. it was just the first of many ideas]

[knight_king]

[She is willing to face the tension as long as Archer eats something and does something he enjoys. Like cooking. It is not healthy for him to be stuck alone like that when Shirou is very sociable.]

Hm, but then we will lose part of the balcony. [The balcony is the second exit available to then, she thinks is strategically smart to keep it.] We could make space and place it just after the entrance door?

( action )

[onlypath]

Just the side of it... [he's not disheartened to lose the balcony area for a bath as he keeps an open mind] Thinking about it, I guess that makes sense too. If I'm going to be renewing the water, the closer to the entrance, the better.

If you need to carry something heavy to build the bath, I will do it for you.

[They will need a rock, won't they? They need a hollow rock to build it.]
