The prompts are just prompts, if you have something specific, just let me know either at sweethymns or my AIM (rainsweets). Have at it! ➢ 01. AMUSEMENT PARK: Disneyland? Knotts Berry Farm? Six Flags?

Will you be drinking both?

[ Slowly...turning towards the kitchen, casting a glance towards the simmering pot. He realizes this question was kind of rude, though, she can drink tea and coffee if she wants!!!

Alright, let's do the thing, let's mosey on over to this boiling water. ]

In either case, the hot water is ready. [ let him pour a little bit of it into a mug to heat it, look at these A+ skills ]

[emotive]

I just might! Two different types of caffeine shouldn't hurt this early in the morning.

[She's prepared her Vietnamese style coffee in using a unique filter. When Lancer pours hot water into the mug, she gets out some Earl Grey tea leaves. The smell of tea leaves and bitter coffee mingle together in the kitchen, creating a very comforting atmosphere.

Thao takes a seat, motioning Diarmuid to do the same (and she had a feeling he wouldn't sit down before her)]

Ah. I feel more awake already!

[onoir]

[ How long has it been since the last time he'd sat down and smelled tea brewing over the stove? Not since Grainne, maybe— bittersweet, but he doesn't regret those days.

He takes a seat, watchful and attentive. ]

If it would be less of a burden on your prana, I can take my Spiritual form.

[emotive]

No, it's fine. If I take a second nap during the day to recover my prana, then you could dematerialize.

[She's taking a cup of tea first since she's giving time for her coffee to develop its flavor.]

If we speak, I would like for it to be face to face. Is that agreeable?

[onoir]

[ How Lordlike of her to say so... Empty-handed as he is, without a drink to warm it, he can feel his expression easing somewhat. Take a look at that shining face. ]

It's heartening to see that nobility still exists, in this day and age.

[ diarmuid you're being embarrassing ]

[emotive]

[God, that enchantment/curse thing. Thao still feels herself being befuddled and it frightens her to imagine what it would do to a normal person.

She laughs nervously at his "nobility" comment.]

Is that what it sounds like? Well, I do train with a rather noble magus. I myself... well, I suppose I'm just fortunate.

[Speaking of which...!]

Since you've revealed your weapons and name to me, I think it's a good idea to tell you of my ability. That way we can work better together.

[onoir]

[ He would be more embarrassing and say something about how nobility can't be taught!!! But she's taking the time to explain her abilities, which he is, admittedly, curious about: he hasn't forgotten about how her eyes changed in demeanor when she first looked at him. ]

Of course. Please, go ahead.

[ A nod here, indicating that he's listening. ]

[emotive]

[A sip of tea, so here we go!]

As I've implied, I don't have a magus bloodline to go by. But I did find out early on that I wield a more uncommon pair of Mystic Eyes.

[A short pause as she takes a teaspoon and stirs a lump of sugar into her drink.]

My Eyes are that of distortion. I can bend most physical objects as long as it's within my line of sight.

[onoir]

Your eyes...I see. Then that would account for the change I saw in them, earlier.

[ It's good that she didn't distort his lovely face, that would have been a tragedy. ]

Does this mean that you don't subscribe to the title of mage, Master?

[emotive]

Hm. I'm more on the level of an apprentice. I know of basic magecraft, but my teacher focused on my Eyes so that I could keep it under control and maximize its usefulness.

[protect face at all costs etc etc

Well, "useful" as in, it won't take me hours or days to bend things. It's more instantaneous now.

[onoir]

Understood. Then, if I may...

[ Far be it from him to speak out of turn, he still takes it upon himself to make his opinion clear; even beyond his duties as a Servant, he believes that it's important to ensure the safety of his liege, after all. ]

For situations that may require my full attention in battle, I ask that you remain in a safe vantage point, away from the frontlines. If I cannot ensure your protection, I could not ask for you to risk yourself, given that you lack the battle knowledge that some other magi may have.

[ so fucking earnest jfc ]

[emotive]

[Well... Okay, she gets it, really she does. And while it does sound good on paper, Thao would feel like a sitting duck.]

We'll have to see what happens and whether there are other Masters and Servants as well.

[Eh, indirect way of saying, "I agree for now."]

Right now, I should be... Ah, yes. Diarmuid, there is a duty I think you'd truly be able to help me with. It may have to do with why I was able to summon you in the first place.

[onoir]

[ Well. That sounds promising! He sits up a little straighter. ]

Ah. If so, I would like to hear it.

[emotive]

The reason I'm here in Fuyuki is on my teacher's orders. There is a disturbance in the leylines of the land. The creatures we fought last night might have been a result of that rather than a Caster. What I saw last night... There were cracks. Miniscule, but enough for anyone with a sense of magic would be able to see them. And that's where those things appeared.

[She looks troubled when she recalls last night.]

[onoir]

[ He deliberates on this, thinking on whether or not it'll be something he can handle in any capacity; he's not a magus, and thus his ability to assist with any magical-business is limited, but... ]

I see. If these disturbances are indeed the cause of what happened last night, it would be in our best interest to get rid of the vermin.

[ He can help with that. ]

[emotive]

Grail or not, restoring the city to the way it was is the right thing to do.

[NOBLE AND CHIVALROUS EVEN.]

You understand that, right?

1/2

[onoir]

[ The slightly widened eyes indicate that her statement is mildly surprising; knightly as he may be, he realizes that not all motives held by others are just or particularly inclined towards "doing good".

(also let's be real, he lived in like 2nd century Ireland, "the right thing" was completely different back then)

It would have been cruel if fate had handed him a heavy card, a despot as his Master, but it doesn't seem the case. ]

[onoir]

[ So, yes, there's a smile from Diarmuid of the Shining Face: partly hidden, but genuine. ]

Understood, Master. Again, it seems your nobility gives me strength.

[emotive]

[NOBILITY, WHY THAT WORD AGAIN. Seriously, who else in Thao's life would say something like that about her? SERIOUSLY!!]

I don't know if I deserve such words, but you know what? I'll try to live up to it.

[She takes the coffee cup to stir the contents; although now she thinks its best to rest up for a while. So she stands up to put the beverage in the fridge for later.]

It's better if I get some rest now, I believe. I don't want to be lacking in prana if we go out later tonight.

[onoir]

[ While she's putting her coffee in the fridge, Lancer goes ahead and clears the table; idle hands are wasteful hands. It's surprising how easily he can fall into the routines of this world, but that's the convenience of being a Heroic Spirit. ]

It would be for the best if you got rest, yes. I'll default to my Spiritual form to conserve prana.

[ and...here he is, dematerializing!! good lancer. ]

[emotive]

Oh!

[She's surprised by the sudden dematerializing, but it's all well and good.]

Amazing... Er! I'll try to wake up in about four hours. In the meanwhile, please familiarize yourself with the area if you feel the need to.

[She's about to head back to her bedroom, but then... There's a question that pops up in her head, having to do with the fact that she's his Master. It seems they understand each other well enough so she could be over thinking it. But if she didn't ask, the air wouldn't clear up by itself.]

Diarmuid... I have one more question to ask. It's not a favor, but I'm curious.

[onoir]

[ When she calls him, he materializes to hold to her insistence about wanting to speak face to face— head bowed but eyes locked on her, head cant a little to the side. ]

A question? Of course, you're free to ask.

[emotive]

Mm.

[There's a pause as she mulls over her words. And then she looks right at Lancer asking quite simply:]

Inexperience aside, is it a problem if your Master is a woman?

[For all her gentle mannerisms, there's something in her voice that sounds very honest and straight forward, asking for no niceties.]

[onoir]

[ Ah. The inevitable question.

This requires a moment, and Diarmuid takes it with all the earnesty of someone who is looking for a proper answer. When he finds one, he states it simply. ]

Somewhat. This curse I have tends to weaken a woman's resolve. It would be disappointing to know that my Master could bend her wishes because of the nature of my face.
