A do-over.

When I become god I'll be happy to give you one.

Now how about something I can actually do?

Don't become god. I'll take issue.

No, I think I'll be all right.

... thank you.

[just

sudden freeze, and a deer in the headlights look

and then a swift coverup and back to his grumpyface]

...Yeah. No problem.

[... and now it's time to act like a human adult, Kiritsugu.

sitting up and away from. nonchalant. completely ignoring if there is anything awkward about this situation]

--on second thought... coffee.

[clenching his hands into fists in his pant legs until his knuckles go white

gotta chill out this is something we're dealing with it's okay self]

R-Right. Let's... try the big kitchen. She's probably not there anymore for today.

[just gonna march off and assume you'll follow]

[a little bit slower in following. he's tired and also still not 100% in the health department despite progress made.

suddenly, Shirou's scolding him on getting more in shape seems perfectly acceptable...]

[yaaay a shirou-free kitchen when they get there

he's just going to start that coffee pot]

[and sitting at a table.

... resisting putting his head down. no, staying awake now. now is not a good time to even doze.

head on table, tho]

[fuck yeah making coffee

...what are you doing

gently places cup on your head and holds it there]

[. . . that is not where coffee goes.

reaching up a hand for that cup.]

[hmm...

nah lifting it up out of reach]

[lifting head so you can't put it back there, though. ha.

... though now the energy to get that mug...]

[sitting on the table seems like a good idea]

Too tired to reach?

[. . . I can just lie my head down again and look supremely pathetic or...

trying to grab for the cup again. :T]

[nope]

[8T jeeerk.

not moving from his seat. trying again]

[alllmost pulls it away again, but sure lets him have it that time

actually has not noticed his own smiling yet which is pretty sad]

[not one to comment on another person having a rare good moment, because he knows very well that it spoils it.

so victory to Emiya. and now to caffeinate self. still :T though]

[pretty content to sit and have his own coffee at the moment

you can be :T all you like]

[yes. coffee.

though it will still take a while for the caffeine to take effect. so just quietly drinking.]

[lets him do this, thinking for awhile as he does

he goes from unusually perky to contemplative in a few minutes, then gets a kind of blank, unreadable expression

and finally:]

If I disappeared from this place, would you notice?

[now that's certainly a question.

looks up to him, expression neutral, eyes watching]

... I would notice.

I would notice because it's what I expect these days.

[noooot meeting his gaze]

What's that supposed to mean?

[well. this. is the time to look into his coffee]

It means... since coming to this place... I've only lost those who I've been even relatively close to. To coma, to the jungle, to other things I may not be aware of but their absence is noted and marked.
