When has honor ever done anything but bring me and those close to me grief?

[unwieldyfate]

You dare call yourself honorable?

[no_hero]

Once. A long time ago.

My question still stands. Even you.

[unwieldyfate]

My own question still stands, as well. What will you gain from this?

[no_hero]

. . .

[unwieldyfate]

Does Irisviel know?

[no_hero]

... not of Ilyasviel.

[unwieldyfate]

. . .


She needs to know.

[no_hero]

It's inevitable...

[unwieldyfate]

Before she finds out from Archer...

[no_hero]

I won't let Archer get that far.

[unwieldyfate]

[opens her mouth, ready to say something, then shakes her head, exhaling heavily]

I will inform her.

[turns, fully intending to head back]

[no_hero]

[grabbing her arm before she can get too far]

That... is not your responsibility.

[unwieldyfate]

[shakes off his grip, glaring up at him]

It is, I am the one who could not—!

[no_hero]

If I had managed to get to the Einzberns' castle sooner and broken through that barrier, she would not have even been in that war.

[unwieldyfate]

The Grail chooses the participants, it would have made no difference.

[no_hero]

You don't know that.

[unwieldyfate]

...


[actually goes quiet at that, just looking at him]

[no_hero]

[hand actually tightens its grip a bit]

You... are not responsible.

[unwieldyfate]

[look you cannot beat me in a guilt battle]

I should have been the one to tell you, as well.

[no_hero]

[unwieldyfate]

This discussion regarding Archer will have to wait.

[no_hero]

[... can't. just can't--

letting Saber go]

[unwieldyfate]

[she doesn't want to do this either but.

looks up at him, half asking, half just stating that yes we are doing this]

[no_hero]

... I will tell her.
