Welcome Back, Adventurers!

[thecanopycrew]

The wagons rolled in, the ship anchored, and the wayward journey has ended back at the tree.

After putting the sword where it now belongs inside the life Stream, it's time for a little award, isn't it?



Appearing outside the tree after the sword has been inserted is normal-sized slice of chocolate cake, enough to feed everyone in tree and more!

Come relax, talk about your adventures and catch up. Enjoy your victory!

[ It was very perilous. Humans? Who would no doubt capture them and place them into little jars until they were sold off to some lab for experimentation purposes? A predatory feline as well? Really, she just wants to grab Saber by her shoulders and shake some common sense into her.

But right now her own shoulders ache. The journey took too much out of her. Rin's not a girl who travels often or far--both of which she ended up doing in the past week. ]

When I rest? It's strange that you say that when you're the one who appears as if they need rest.

... [ And now she's eyeing her as a magus would. ] Saber.

[ It sounds like something that a magus of Rin's calibre can handle without trouble and safer than voracious merpeople and that strange dead violinist (and large amounts of water close to a Servant who doesn't know how to swim). She has been worried she has encontered adversary of magical nature that could, in Saber's viewpoint, become a challenge.

Saber is still scrutinizing Rin's appearance, in case she is hiding an injury out of sight. Her remark throws her off guard, briefly, she recovers soon. She should have expected it from a magus like Rin to notice the sign of fatigue. ]

I will be all right once I eat and rest properly, Rin.

[ She recognizes that look, but she cannot ask her anything. Not when she has Archer and Shirou to worry about. Not when the journey might have strained her too.

She doesn't want to be a liability to any of them. Saber wishes to protect them. ]

I did not exert myself too much.

[gandere]

You're a Servant who was cut off from their source of prana for an extended period of time. [ She speaks boldly, not caring about who may be eavesdropping.

The more who understand the foolish risk she put herself under for no justifiable reason at all, the better. That means Rin would have people stand by and help her scold her the next time she does something of this nature. ]

I expect this kind of recklessness from Emiya, not from you.

[knight_king]

[She cannot argue with Rin because she knows she is completely correct on her assessment. She has been very foolish, but she does not regret her choices. It is not strange, because she only regrets them when someone who isn't her gets hurt.

She is appropriately scolded by her misbehavior, lowering her head. Could she have place others at risk by this? It seems that the risk she has been enduring is still far from her thoughts, but she acknowledges she could have affected her usefulness. ]

I understand that I have done something reckless. But Rin, there is no Grail to fight for here, what could I provide to a Master in exchange for their magical energy?

[She also doesn't know what could be the effect of having a contract without the Holy Grail. She doesn't want to accidentally drain someone because she utilized Excalibur. She should bear her own burden and stop trying to make others shoulder it.]
