[ Francis Xavier will receive a parcel one fine morning. Opening it will reveal a mirror. Attached is a note, written in a simple but elegant hand. ]
I do not know if you still worry about the other you, but if you do, here is something for you. There is nothing magical about this mirror, but I hope that it is a reminder that the you that exists here is still alive, and still doing well. If so, then another you, if she does possess the same essence, surely will be too.
Kojirou
P.S. I tried to carve a mirror from a water dragon's scale, but I didn't have enough for both that and improving my equipment. Unfortunately, preparing for war comes first.

[Kojirou will receive a parcel of his own. It's a type of roll cake, with a layer of raspberry preservative smeared between the cream and the cake. There's also honey swirled into the cream, among blueberries, strawberries, and cherries. The whole thing is weakly infused with mana, giving it a faint shimmer when looked at from the right angle.
The note that comes with it says:]
Kojirou,
Thank you. This is one of the first gifts I've ever received, and it was sweet of you to go out of your way when I wasn't even distracting you from your lunch break. What I've sent isn't as thoughtful, maybe, but it's as close to an imitation of one of the Moon Cell's better foods that I could recreate.
Sincerely,
Hakuno

Did you make this yourself? Then it is more than I deserve, but I shall accept it gratefully regardless. It will be invaluable when I head into the mountains for training.
I would not be much of a samurai or a Knight if I could not defend a fair maiden's smile. Think nothing of it.

I did. Now that I have the opportunity and free time, I've been trying out all sorts of hobbies and skills that I never had the chance to before. I don't know about 'deserving' gifts, but I wanted you to have it all the same. I hope you enjoy it.
I can't think nothing of somebody's kindness, whether it's out of duty or otherwise. I appreciate it all the same.
Sincerely,
Hakuno

It's... kind of a misunderstanding that spiraled into a larger issue.
[She blows out a sigh.]
Basically, it boils down to him thinking I'm not worthy enough to be close to him, I guess. And... me missing the dynamic I had with his other self, maybe. I don't know, it's stupid.
[She's stupid.]

[ Oh poor sweet Hakuno. Irisviel understands - she probably didn't have a lot of interaction with other people with all this talk of her being an anomaly. And anything familiar and intimate, like a Master and Servant relationship - takes a wholly deeper meaning.
She wondered what would happen if she couldn't have that kind of relationship with Saber here, and Iri completely gets it. ]
You are worthy to be close to him, Hakuno-chan. Don't let his attitude keep you away, though I admit it's like dealing with a caged lion on occasion.
[ one that likes a lot of gold ]
Would you like me to come over? I have some pastries left with me.

[ Irisviel ends the call and proceeds to the kitchen, where she's got half a box of assorted pastries. A couple of slices of cake, a few eclairs and a bunch of cookies in a beautiful white box with a white ribbon.
She makes her way over to Hakuno's room, knocking gently on the door with a smile. ]
Hakuno-chan?

[ Irisviel pops her head in carefully, before coming into the room properly. At first she couldn't see where Hakuno was, but once she spots that characteristic long hair, she makes her way over and sits on the edge of the bed. ]
I brought some pastries with me.
[ she says, holding up the box ]
I'm thinking of opening a cafe so I decided to see what kind of cakes there were.

Oh, you have a cycle now.
[ says Irisviel without even batting an eye. Now it all made sense. If Hakuno never had a human body, then it stood to reason that she would be unfamiliar with how periods worked. ]
It's a perfectly normal part of being human, but...
[ Irisviel undoes the ribbon, opens the box and takes an eclair before holding out to Hakuno. ]
It's not the most pleasant. Say "aaah".
