[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.

[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?

[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.
