[Wow, it's like he has totally forgotten how they met.]

I'm glad. You seem... a little different. Not bad or anything. It got weird towards the end, but I'm glad you got a chance to relax.

[killful]

[That's different! He's a better person now! (No.)]

Really? Well, even Servants need a little vacation. I remember the last time we had one. Ishtar held a race in Ireland and everything, and I got to fight beauties in swimsuits. And then Master and Nero and everyone had to fight Gugalanna MK II or something. It was fun!

[sealeted]

I only understood about half of those words, but it sounds exciting.

[She laughs a little.]

Anything new with you, since the people came back?

[killful]

I've been doing some acting gigs lately, so you might see me on TV. Uh, as Lackey #2 or something. I just landed a bigger role, though. It's really big! But I can't tell you until it's done.

[beat]

I mean, it's definitely not Northstar Dragonfist from Fists of Dragons: Star of the North, the upcoming reboot of the classic Fists of Dragons trilogy.

[sealeted]

Oh! Wow, that's so exciting!

[Don't get sued...]

We should celebrate!

[killful]

Yeah! But uh, I'm not supposed to tell anyone else about it, remember?

[sealeted]

...then it can be for the smaller parts! That's worth celebrating too.

[killful]

Really? I mean, it's nothing big...

[He shouldn't get praise for something like this. It shouldn't be enough.]

It was easy, no problem! You know? It's just luck and stuff.

[Stuff like talent that no one recognizes but whatever! He's... used to it...]

[sealeted]

It's something you put effort into.

[Her voice is soft, but firm.]

Easy would be just swiping what you need from Dominants who don't know how clever and able the average Servant can be. Instead, you found something you enjoy. You worked hard. If it felt easy, then I'm even happier that you've found something you enjoy.

[killful]

[ His silence is spent figuring out how to voice his happiness. He can't sound too enthusiastic. That's just too selfish, and he has his pride. ]

You say some good things sometimes, doncha?

[ No one ever talks about his effort. Perhaps it's because he never tells anyone how much he gives.

But his master should know. ]

Well, it's better than indiscriminate killing and it gives me an excuse to fight people, so I figured you'd like it.

[sealeted]

I like to think so.

[And that sometimes they're even the right things.]

I do. But it's even better that you like it. Is there a chance I've seen any of the smaller parts?

[killful]

I like a lotta things...

[ But on most days, he doesn't think about doing things for himself. Not when he has a master to serve. ]

Uh, maybe? I was a guest on this one episode of Houses. I think I had lupus or something? Wahahaha! You'll have to watch it to find out.

[sealeted]

Seriously? I'll look up which one, and see when it's on.

[There's a sound very much like a fridge opening.]

What kind of foods do you like, so I can pick a good restaurant?

[killful]

I like most anything. Servants don't need food, though?

[But he likes food.]

If you're getting cheap Chinese takeout, you might as well ask me to cook.

[sealeted]

Well, everybody has preferences, right? Like... spicy versus sweet, or savory, meat over vegetables, dessert most of all... things like that.

[If it sounds like she's pouting, it's because she is.]

I wouldn't cheap out on you!

[killful]

Aww! Well, that's sweet of you. [On the inside, he's slightly freaking out.] I'll give you something nice.

[Hmm...]

I'm not picky, but I do like Peking duck, ootori sushi, salmon topped with caviar and gold leaf...

[sealeted]

...? Wait, what am I getting something for?

[She hums softly.]

I did some menu pictures for some pretty upscale places. I don't know about the gold leaf, but there were definitely sushi and duck dishes at some point... Let's see...

[killful]

[He snorts.]

I was kidding. I'm really happy with anything as long as it's from you. You're just getting something nice because you're a good Master.

[sealeted]

'Anything' is kind of hard. Do you have a preference between bought or handmade, at least? ...and, thank you. I've tried to be as good to you as I can.

1/2

[killful]

H-handmade? [Inner mind theater: IFOWKRUGOJWUFKFJFL] Handmade...

[killful]

Uh, I mean, yeah, yeah! I'd be honored to have anything made by you. You're so good to me!

[God.]

But that makes me wonder: you've been on your best behavior, haven't you? Not causing trouble for anybody?

[sealeted]

It won't be caviar and gold leaf, but I've gotten pretty good at some simple dishes. Look forward to it.

[She pauses, seriously thinking it over.]

Not... that I'm... aware? Why do you ask?

[killful]

Nothing! I'm just checking. I don't really like having an irresponsible Master. I know this is coming out of the blue, but I'm just saying.

[It sounds like he's turning a page.]

Give and take, yeah? I'm trying to be sorta good [except for the times he's stealing trucks with robin] so you gotta do your part too.

[sealeted]

I don't know if I'd call myself irresponsible. A little reckless at times, maybe, but... it's not like I trouble other people if I can help it.

[Her part, huh...?]

[killful]

Hm? You sure about that?

[It's that lazy drawl again.]

Are you absolutely sure no one has to clean up your mess if you make it?
