[Those of you in Azalea Town will have not seen Shirou -- or Rin -- all day. Come evening, you will find out why.]

To those who knew Rin Tohsaka: she disappeared again. She was sent back home.

I'm going to Blackthorn City to get the last badge in Johto. You can come with me, or I can buy you train passes so you can go to Saber's breeding center in Celadon City. I'll let you decide.

I know. I'm going to keep going, though.

[riastrad_ridire]

I'd expect nothing else.

Hell, if I wasn't in Celadon right now I'd be dragging you and Kariya both out for a drink, I'm pretty sure all three of us need it at this point.

[wontdieifkilled]

But I'm still too young to drink. I'm underage.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

...Wait, that's actually a thing?

Seriously?

You're kidding, right?

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

Of course there's a legal drinking age. Why would I joke about something like that?

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

Kids shouldn't drink because alcohol inhibits brain development. There's a scientific backing for it.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

That's crazy. We never had anything like that back home and I turned out fine.

[Then, as if he realized just what he said:]




Well enough, at least.

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

You're also a demigod.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot that part.

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

I should be in Celadon City soon enough regardless. I have to see Saber and Irisviel in person again.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Sounds like a pretty good idea.



...Hey, what kind of food does Saber like?

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

[Shirou had to think about that one. He came up blank.]

I think "what kind of food does Saber dislike?" would be a better question.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Okay, so what doesn't she like?

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

I've never actually asked her that. Just try getting her some expertly-cooked food and she should be satisfied.

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Expertly cooked? That might be a problem. Dunno about the quality of Celadon's restaurants, but I can't really cook worth a damn.

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

Why the question, anyway?

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Just curious.

[And nothing else.]

[Really.]

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

Why, because she likes my food?

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Because I'm planning on taking her out for dinner and I wanted to know if there was anything she didn't like.

[Totally casual. Yep.]

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

[Expect a long wait for a reply.]

...You're kidding, right?

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

What makes you think I am?

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

But...why?

[text]

[riastrad_ridire]

Why not?

[text]

[wontdieifkilled]

Because you've never shown interest in her before?
