[Five; Video]

[Ryuunosuke is not smiling for once. He seems to be laying back in his bed with a gloomy expression.]

Hey, Prospero. I'm bored, so you get to hear me talk about stuff that isn't important. Sound good?

Somebody once compared a beautiful woman to a dove, and that's okay, but I don't think it was really accurate. If we kept with the avian comparisons, then I think a lot of people are like geese. Geese are everywhere, but they still think their space is special. If you annoy a goose it'll start honking and biting and it'll be a mess. I really don't like geese much at all.

People like Lancer, Asuka, Saber - off the top of my head - are way more like swans. Swans are rare, they're beautiful, and if you piss them off you are screwed. This is my service to you guys, more important than killing Shadows: I'm telling you, do not mess with swans. You guys could take swans in single combat, I'm sure, but it isn't worth the trouble.

[He sighs.] Is Lancer still mad at me, by the way? Seriously...

Uh, I'm not sure where I was going with that extended metaphor. Like I said, I'm really bored.

It sounds like you already hold them in high regard.

Two months is a long time. Are you familiar with how this world works already?

Video until I say otherwise, I am lazy.

Yep! They're awesome~ Do you know them.

Pretty much. Got my Persona, fought Shadows, the works. I'm pretty well settled in.

Same with Text here

They've been here long enough for me to have heard about them. It sounds like you know them better. Have you seen them fight?

[First part is a guess, but since he knows they've been here for at least two months, not a far-fetched one. Uryuu's comment is worrying, though. As things stand, Ryuunosuke holds much better chances in a fight. Still, he can't simply let someone like him be when Shirou is around.]

[He chuckles at that.] Seen that really well, too.

[After all, Lancer was the one who killed him here, although not the first one who's killed him in general. More personally, though. Hmmm, but a sniper rifle is pretty neat... He's going to get lost in reminiscence if he keeps that up.]

[At the rate things are going, Kiritsugu's going to have to get himself another one of those soon.]

[Maybe not the precise same model. The Walther WA 2000 goes for more than $80,000 in today's market.]

I see.

So how's it going, Mr. Mysterious?

[maguskiller.livejournal.com]

[There's a brief pause, during which Kiritsugu actually contemplates how bizarre this conversation has been. He expected several of the Masters he faced to be eccentric, but this is new.]

Well enough. Still accustoming myself to the environment.

[Might as well keep up the front while he thinks about how to face Ryuunosuke, no matter how dangerous he considers the guy.]

It's not as bad as it sounds, if you can defend yourself.
