I find it absurd that I'm honest with you about my sister and you're acting like I need to be cracked like an egg.
If I can get her in a spot where I can monitor her then maybe her being stone isn't exactly terrible. Less chance for someone to hurt or manipulate her. Less surveillance I have to keep to make sure no one upsets her. Less I have to worry about her snapping and killing off or consuming a bunch of people.
Opposite of you, maybe. Typically she's a doormat. Over-polite, and shy. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few things in common outside of that.
Not asking for a more tangible form of repayment is what's so weird.
Anything comparable to the effort it would take to get that statue moved. I can't match you in rank privileges, but I could make you something. Steal something. Get information for you. I'm not sure how much the debt will be.
yeah. kinda went fucking insane over it. don't know if it's better or worse now. can't kill him, but i guess no one else can either. just another shitty impasse this place forces on me.
["If my dad showed up, I'd rather die instead" is what first comes to her mind, but she curbs it. Not because she's unwilling to share, but because she doesn't want to overshadow the conversation with her own family's bullshit more than she already has.
And despite the way she'd go to the grave insisting her father was a good man, she knows better than to assume everyone has it the same. There will be no, "but you're family," coming from her. Not after what she's been through with her legal guardian. Not after what she saw Zouken did to Sakura.]
he's the reason i'm like this. he's the reason for everything. reap what you sow. the world should be rid of a false hero like him, and a reject experiment like me.
[She remembers playing cards with another person last month. A man who revealed it was his dream to become a "hero". It was laughable to her. Doubly so since the young man who fell in love with her sister, Emiya, wanted to be considered one. Icing on that cake only happened to be the form of that man actually receiving a Rank and Suit years after failing to accomplish that goal — Emiya's body irreversibly changed from his attempt to chase that dream, and refusing to be called by anything but "Archer," now.
How funny, in a dark way, that such things should line up the way that they did. Now more than ever the concept of "hero" seems foolish to her.]
[IT TOOK ALL SHE HAD NOT TO FUCK IT UP AND HE'S CALLING HER CUPCAKE?!]
Even when you'd antagonize me you were still closer to being a friend than some of the other idiots this place is filled with.
[Rin knows she's prone to hissy fits and rude remarks and hurtful behavior. When someone yanks her chain, even in public, her emotions are a flash in the pan and typically don't become grudge-worthy without some other factor. It's only when she bites back and the other party decides to stew rather than throw another volley that she starts questioning things.
For now, at least barring that their wires get crossed again, she can be content with the f-word. In fact she's more confident with it because of how rocky things were previously.]
Of course not. You both coddle each other, don't you? He probably thinks you're more like that princess who kissed a frog, and considers himself the muddy amphibian you took a chance on.
I guess in guy terms he probably thinks you are very cool. Badass, even.

Thank you.

( a pause for him, too, trying to decide. )
my dad was here. i have his statue in my suite.

[Holy shit. She legitimately did a spit-take.]
I have no idea what I would do if my father showed up. That must have been something else.

not even being sarcastic, look at me go.

We're friends, aren't we? Supporting you against a shitty authority figure is the baseline.
