Who: THUSIANS
When: Day 54, Evening
Where: The Shrine area
What: A new god

[ If you happen to be near the shrine area today, you might notice there's a new face around. And from the way she's carefully setting up a shrine herself, this sure looks like yet another god rather than a simple new arrival.

She also looks rather pleased with her work ]

—There we go! This is just the perfect spot for it. There's no way this isn't going to catch everyone's attention.

[ aaaand taking a quick glance at the other shrines ]

Hmpf. Mine is definitely way better. Definitely.

(( Intro for Alain! You can find her shrine here-- feel free to use this post as mingle if you want. ))

[shuffles slightly in place, looking at her own feet, this is really taking too long]

[... seating himself on the ground near the door. since. too long. and too tired to keep with the standing around]

[glances at him briefly, from the corner of her eye, idly wondering how his healing is going]

[sure doesn't look like he's gotten any better. in fact, might be a bit of the opposite...]

[that is not okay. AREN'T YOUR CHILDREN HELPING??]

[look. thirty-six good deeds is harder than it looks.

also, halfway there. SO.]

. . .

[taking a deep breath, not looking at him]

What do you think I told her?

... what I said to you.

[ugh just the implication that she'd do something like that]

What would I gain from that?

[still not looking at him, but that probably came out slightly more agitated than intended]

Do you honestly believe I was thinking rationally when I asked you?

Do you honestly believe I have ever understood any of your actions until very recently?

No. Because I did not want you to.

Therefore I have no reason to think any of that has changed now.

... really. Why would you even want to... considering the disgrace to your honor I am.

[wow you're a dick.

not going to bother replying to that.]

[I'm only using the words you used back then]

... would understanding why I take certain actions really make a difference?

It will not change the means to that end.

It won't justify those means, but it does make a difference.

[exhales, stepping towards the door]

. . . Irisviel?

[Either she is immune to you as well, or... literally just not there]

[. . . looking at the door, as if also expecting a response this time.]

[... waits for a little longer before letting her eyes close, looking somewhat defeated.

walking back to where she was standing before]

[. . . maybe if I fire a bullet--

no, Kiritsugu. don't go to extremes here. plus, waste of a bullet

watches Saber for a moment before looking away]

... I should not have said anything.

Neither of us should have.

Your words did not cause injury.

[okay that actually gets her to look at him]

...

... anything I would have to say would bring you more pain than comfort, more distaste than respect. Thus, the option since the beginning has been to maintain my silence.
