Naturally. But there's pushing your limits, and there's burning yourself out. That's when you start to make mistakes—and besides. It'd be nice to see you through this whole thing one piece.
Only 'cause nothing's fair about either. [ His tone's as airy as he can manage there, though it grounds itself after. ] Besides, I'm not worried, so you're not gonna get anything out of me.
[That sort of thing seemed almost personal, (at least, most of those she'd spoken to about it had made her think so), so out of something like social manners she's never asked, but...]
Ah. You know about those, huh? [ They do have plenty of stopping power, as he's quite keenly aware of. There's no noticeable bristling on his end for it. ] I don't think my Master's in a rush to use 'em, but yeah.
[ don't you lead this thread into the gutter young lady
Anyway, usually he wouldn't say, but no one gives a shit about Holy Grail politicking. Also, his Master's kind of ridiculous and doesn't seem to care, so. ]

Hey, no turning this around.

[ Nothing to deflect to. ]
no subject
[not true, she's worried about him, too... but the idea of someone powerful as a Servant, craving human flesh?
... not good.]
no subject
Yeah, I'm working that part out. The last thing I wanna do is put you guys in a bind.

[ He's not shy about the subject—there are few questions too personal—but still. ]
no subject
[Something to stop him, if need be.]

[And a Saber, and Master... had it truly been so long since then?]
But they could stop you? If it came to that.
no subject
If he's careful—and if it comes to that. Best case scenario, it doesn't.

[You know what they say about assuming, Sieglinde...]

Who is he? If I may ask...
[She assumed it was Riza... he might not want to know why.]

Koltira. Big, tall guy with the ears.
no subject
Oh.
Koltira.
Yes.
I know him.
no subject
You seem like you've got somethin' else to say about it.
no subject
I had simply not realized Riza was such a... generous woman.
[after all that preaching at her about monogamy and the like? This is bs!!!]
no subject
no subject
Perhaps I have been informed incorrectly that women from most worlds not mine own prefer their lovers monogamous?
no subject
Nope, that's what I hear these days too. [ Not his cup of tea, but he respects Riza's rules. ] But I'm serving Koltira, not marrying him.
no subject
They seem to have an aversion to "serving" alone, not just polygamy.
[Weirdos.]
no subject
...I'm gonna regret asking this, but what d'you think Servants are for?
jesus how did I lose this
