Ha~ku~no~chaaaa~n.
[ does this voice terrify you, hakuno? because it should. ]
So it is you who is the Master to my Star. [ this is fine, hakuno was very bullyable during tumenalia. ] I suppose I should offer you my thanks for keeping him grounded here in this Singularity.

Shuten... oh. Oh! That makes so much sense. I wasn't sure if it was rude or not to try and figure out your name outside of a Grail War, but I did wonder if you were an actual oni, somebody historically conflated with a myth, or something else entirely.
[There's the spark of a history nerd there, but it dies under the downpour of her own bashfulness as her situational awareness creeps in.]
...I've been okay. Um, speaking about 'okay'... Uh, we should. We need... I wanted to talk to you too, about. About, um, my blood...

[She coughs and clears her throat, trying to force more volume into her faltering tone.]
You... you know I was... not quite myself, that week. Um, I-I got carried away, in various ways, trying to make everyone I met happy. And—and, um, my blood... seemed to make you very... happy.
[That's a word for it.]
But... I did get carried away. So, um, I can't give you that much, again and again, but if it's just a pint or two, every day...
[She takes a breath, and her voice seems tentative. She really hopes she's not leaping to conclusions, because then she'll just have to die from embarrassment.]
I mean, Tumenalia might have taken away the consequences, but if you're an actual oni, you still like or need blood, right? As long as I keep a Code Cast or two in reserve, I don't mind providing you with mine. ...I-If you'd like it.
[Please, God, let that not be a wrong conclusion. It's embarrassing enough to have rambled and stumbled over her own tongue like this.]
I-I mean, even more so now, right? I mean, since it turns out that you're my Servant's girlfriend... wife? ...wait, am I an in-law now...?

[ well, she never takes off the ring yan qing gave her that second or third day they were here, though it's on the off-hand... ]
I, ... no, I do not—
[ why. is everything. making. her so flustered?? ]
—... I have never heard anyone put it so bluntly before. As of right now, we are partners in this Singularity.
[ but she is not denying affection. she can't. shuten might twist words but she doesn't usually lie. ]

[...oh, she's cute.
Nice job, Yan Qing, Master approves.]
I don't actually know all that much about youkai diets, aside from a few off-hand comments from Tamamo here and there. Is it... is it better to get it fresh from the vein, or... I don't know, should I go to a donation center and have them bag it?

Actually, Nero was the Servant I originally summoned at the start of the War, and we saved and contracted Tamamo in after her Master tried to leave her to die in his place after losing our match. It, uh... as you obviously can imagine, there's been some... friction.
[She sighs.]
...it's a détente sort of rivalry, these days, which was both exacerbated and calmed a bit by me being torn into three versions of myself, and a nice, unifying threat of oblivion to fight against. I have a third Servant back home too, but she's a child now, not any sort of lover.

It's actually less confusing now, thanks to the magic of quantum time-locks pruning away at it.
[Reflect on that horrifying thought for a moment.]
I actually have memories sent back from a different version of myself in a future I then had to stop from ever occurring. It's... God, I am so sick of timeline shenanigans, Miss Shuten. I really am.

Ah, then you will be happy to know that Darling and I are contracted to a Master who is part of a company who's entire purpose is to protect humanity from incineration.
And we do that by hopping back and forth through time.
[ fate/ is fucked up, is the story here. ]
Well, that is back home. We are not bound by their contract here.
[ obviously ]

...it sounds really terrible to say it out loud, but honestly I'm a little glad that's somebody else's job. Having to deal with the Umbral Star's world-eating nonsense puts enough on my plate as it is.
[On the other hand—]
It's good to hear that no matter how long it takes to go home, the two of you will be together.
