Yo. Leave a message or however this works, I'll talk to you later.

[ex_cashcow493]

So I will not receive a kiss tomorrow?

[ There may be the sound of her office door shutting in the Breeding Centre with that. SAD TIMES ARE NOW. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

Wait, you wanted to?

[ex_cashcow493]

I was also interested in catching another rare Pokemon.

[riastrad_ridire]

You never know. Maybe you'll get lucky all on your own.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Lucky on her own... ]

Unlikely.
I apologize for troubling you with this message.

[riastrad_ridire]

Hey, don't give up.

Your luck's better than mine.

[ex_cashcow493]

How so?

[riastrad_ridire]

What was your Luck ranking as a Servant?

Go on, humor me for a minute.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ ... ]

B-Rank until I made a pact with Rin.
Then it was A+




With my first Master, however, it was D-Rank.

[riastrad_ridire]

[You wanna play this game?]

Heh, it's still not worse than mine!

What I'm saying is that if I don't wake up in the morning expecting to fall down the stairs and get run over by a stampeding Tauros, you shouldn't either. Maybe you should be optimistic once in a while, might just be surprised.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ At least his son didn't kill him???
And was really his son and not some weird homunculus made out of the sperm she most certainly can't provide!! ]

What is there to be optimistic about, Lancer?

[riastrad_ridire]

What's there to be miserable about?

We're alive. And more than that, we get to choose whatever we want to do with our lives this time. Now I don't know about you, but I sure as hell never got a chance to do that back home. Not to say I regret it, but a normal life would've been nice, you know?

On top of that, you have to admit: far as ridiculous alternate worlds go, we coulda picked a worse one to get stuck in.

I can't prove something good will happen tomorrow, but nobody really can. That doesn't mean you should be hopeless from the start.

[ex_cashcow493]

Lancer, you are wonderful.
Even when I feel despair, you find a way to help me through it.
If only I could show you a smile then everything would be perfect, would it not?

[riastrad_ridire]

What can I say? I'm a ray of sunshine or whatever.

Guess it would be, yeah. You've got a nice smile, it wouldn't kill ya to show it more often.

[ex_cashcow493]

I will do my best for you.
For all of you.
Irisviel, Shirou, Lancelot.

[riastrad_ridire]

They'll probably appreciate it as much as I do.

Don't worry too much about tomorrow. You'll probably get exactly what you're after.

[ex_cashcow493]

You do not think Shirou is going to kiss me, do you?
I sent him that message to and it would be like him to do something so reckless.

[riastrad_ridire]

Doubt it. Doing something stupid and reckless isn't his style.

[ex_cashcow493]

It has always been his style.

[riastrad_ridire]

This is a very different kind of stupid and reckless.

[ex_cashcow493]

So I would be better off not expecting anything from him?

[riastrad_ridire]

I doubt he'll do anything.

[ex_cashcow493]

I see.

[ BACK TO BEING NOT-SO-SECRETLY DISAPPOINTED. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

You'd probably be pretty thrilled if it was someone like him, huh? The kind of nice guy that falls all over himself to make other people happy, I mean.

[ex_cashcow493]

In all honesty

[ Her message cuts off briefly as though it had been sent prematurely. ]

My apologies.
The PokeGear is behaving strangely.
As for your question, I think I just long to have some closeness in this place.
Every day I live as though I have not made a significant difference in anyone's life.
Merlin used to write me letters and leave baked goods around.
Small things like that to show that he had been thinking of me.
Here I just work, train, eat, and sleep.
