Comments

[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! ]

[steelmyself]

I'm--I'm not old enough to be your father. Jeez, why would you think of that right now...

[ And he lands on their balcony. ]

[gandere]

[ She said as a father would, not that she views him as one. Though now she's looking over him carefully in what little light there is as if trying to determine his age. The absence of facial hair made him look much younger, but clashed with the hair drained of all color. ]

No, you're like a mama cat bringing a kitten back to where she wants it to be.

[steelmyself]

What?!

[ He stares at her aghast. ]

No, that's much worse.

[gandere]

It is?

[ She's not quite following along, but she'll look hurt all the same. ]

[steelmyself]

Yeah, for one thing, it's an insult to me as a man, Rin.

[ He realizes, too late, just what he said. ]

--not that I am a man; I'm a spirit and a hero first, as I've said.

[gandere]

A spirit and a hero can't love another being, can they? [ She blurts out the question, unsure of the answer herself. ]

I rather you be a man than either of those things.

[steelmyself]

Tohsaka--

[ His eyes widen and he just looks at her for a long moment, his expression peculiarly pure and boyish.

He lifts one hand and reaches for her, his fingertips brushing her hair at the side of her face. ]

[gandere]

Ah... [ It's odd and refreshing both at the same time to hear him call her that. ]

I'm saying weird things again, aren't I?
