Comments

[gandere]

Don't act coy around me. [ Motioning with a free hand to urge him to continue speaking. ]

Otherwise I'll have to jump start your memory by asking intrusive questions about your sex life or masturbation habits. Those are things you would keep secret as a man, right Archer?

[steelmyself]

[ The change in atmosphere when she says that is so surreal he wonders if he fell off the tree and hit his head when he wasn't paying attention.

But, no, that's Rin Tohsaka for you. ]

Those aren't secret at all.

I don't.

[ --and the sudden switch compels casual honesty out of him. ]

[gandere]

You don't what?

[ He couldn't possibly mean... ] You don't masturbate at all?

[steelmyself]

I don't. Wait, are we really discussing this, Rin?

[ He looks at her in alarm. ]

Here in public?

[gandere]

If you don't engage in it, then what's the point of being private about it? You claimed such activities weren't a secret in the first place.

[ Plus being inappropriate is what she's good at. ]

[steelmyself]

[ That's it. He's going to scoop her up in his arms, spread his wings, and take off into the air. ]

Be decent, Rin. I know it's difficult, but you should try.

[gandere]

[ She sulks a bit, unable to react. ] Why is it always so troubling for others to accept the truth..? I don't understand.

I don't understand it at all.

[steelmyself]

[ He continues flying. Anything to get away from the things he said to that stupid mirror-- ]

It is the truth, Rin. I don't concern myself with matters of the flesh.

[ This explains a lot about his sad, sad life. ]

[gandere]

No wonder you're so frustrated with yourself. All of that pent up sexual tension...

[ Rin speaks as if she's experienced in the frustrations of the male body. ]

[steelmyself]

Tch.

[ He blushes into the cool dark night and desperately hopes she can't see or feel it. ]

It's not as if you know anything about that, Rin.

[gandere]

That's because women don't need to engage in that sort of activity unless they want to indulge themselves.

[ Such an expert. ] If I wanted to, I would. It's that simple.

[steelmyself]

Do you even know how to give yourself an orgasm, Rin?

[ Oh, God, why is he discussing this with her? Why? ]

[gandere]

Of course I know how to give myself an orgasm!

[ She lived alone for how long? ] I could give myself five hundred orgasms if I wanted!

[steelmyself]

[ NEARLY DROPS HER. ]

[gandere]

Don't drop me, you idiot!

[ First he admits his incompetence with sexual pleasure, now he's almost letting go of her. Guess that mirror really got to him. ]

[steelmyself]

Don't talk about pleasuring yourself and I won't drop you.

[ He's still bright red. ]

[gandere]

Masturbation is a healthy activity that helps a person feel better about themselves.

Plus it's great to do when you're bored to tears! [ She's just going to keep talking about it. ]

[steelmyself]

Huh? You're bored here?

[ He latches onto another thing in that statement. ]

[gandere]

I didn't claim to engage in that sort of activity here!

[ Swiftly defending herself. ] I live with children, Archer. Children!

[steelmyself]

Oh? Should I find a way to entertain the children and leave you your "alone time," then?

[ He has the upper ground now, so he can talk about indecent things. ]

[gandere]

I don't need alone time when I could get a b-boyfriend!

[ He asked for this. ]

[steelmyself]

You could what?

[gandere]

I could have sex with someone! [ Two different things. ]

Geez, why are you so interested in what I do in my spare time anyway?! Shouldn't you be focused on your archery or making swords?!

[steelmyself]

Rin, having a boyfriend is about more than having sex. It's--

[ His grip on her tightens slightly for a moment. ]

Ah, there's no point in my discussing this with you. Of course, I can focus on something more productive.

[gandere]

For a moment there, I was afraid you were going to scold me as a father would.

[ That would have been awkward and no doubt a turn on at the same time. Which would make it even more awkward. Don't slip into that role, Archer! ]
