[My goodness, it's shirtless Issei and a woman.

More specifically, it's Issei looking badly beaten up and being bandaged by Saber, who mutters occasional apologies as she pulls a bandage particularly tight. Issei doesn't say anything besides grunting in pain occasionally, until a minute has passed.]

...My Persona still beat your Persona. Just for the record.

[Joint post with Issei and Saber, both will reply, yada yada.]

Yes, I suppose it did. But I can organize things more quickly than you might expect. It is, after all, my strength.

When have I ever been late?

Besides, with my steel horse here, I find that I can arrive to places much more quickly than others. I must find a way to modify it to work during the Dark Hour.

You mean a motorcycle? Lots of people have those.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

Do they? [ She hasn't seen very many of them here herself. ] Well, my riding skill is unrivaled in this place for now.

action;

[unknownrival]

Of course.

...Ow.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

"Ow"? Was that too tight or should I try to make it more firm? We would not wish to risk further injury.

[unknownrival]

Do as you feel best.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

Well now I just feel guilty for harming you in the first place.

[unknownrival]

I am the one who challenged you, am I not?

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, but I knew better than to invoke those tactics on you. I just wished to show you that a Persona matters little when someone cannot properly defend themselves. Since Shadows attack in groups, often mismatched ones, no single Persona can fend them off.

action;

[unknownrival]

No single person can fend them off, either.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

No, but I do a damn fine enough job keeping them distracted while the rest of you sort your thoughts.

action;

[unknownrival]

We don't take that long.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Just going to give him a look of disbelief that says otherwise. ]

[unknownrival]

We'll get better. I'll make us get better.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

Practice does make one better, but it is difficult to practice for something that leaves us feeling strange the week prior.

action;

[unknownrival]

It can be done. Even if it can't I will make the impossible happen, because it's my best contribution.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

I certainly hope so. [ Leaning back away from him, she regards his current condition. ] In the meantime, please continue to rely on me as Shirou did.

action;

[unknownrival]

All right, I will. Thank you.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Exhaling as though she had been waiting for that for many days. ] Thank you, Issei.

action;

[unknownrival]

Don't mention it.
