[Normally when one prepares to do any sort of action, you'll have to be prepared in mind, body and spirit. But the most commonly used part of those three is always the body. So what does Emiya Shirou do to keep his body prepared and ready for anything

[So Shiki was all shopping but he had to wear these bandages, right? Looks like he has to cheat a bit to actually buy what he needs so when he pulls down those bandages, he saw a certain swordboner.]

......uh.....

[inb4gar]

[......... oh. This is just great.]

... Tohno.

[artwithknives]

...Shirou.

[expiatrice]

[SIGH teenage boys

She was coming this way anyway because she was stalking Shiki and noting down the number of times he takes off the burial cloth in vain so she can grill him about it later but your TEEN SPIRIT RIVALRY can probably be picked up miles away :V

Going to

pick up a basket and shove a few random (they end up being stuff usable in curry anyway) items in and pretend to be shopping '3' YEP]

Tohno-kun and Emiya-kun, what a coincidence. [as good as any of an icebreaker... Senpai's sounding super chill as per usual, nothing new to Shiki there.]

[gauntlethades]

[There's a new grocer.

He seems really not used to working here. So the question that comes next sounds pretty awkward.]

You need help, kid?

[inb4gar]

Huh?!

[Shirou is going to turn around in surprise to hear a new gruff voice. He paused for a minute to see who it was. Nobody he recognizes or even looks remotely familiar.]

Oh, uh, yeah. I'm trying to find the meat section. I was hoping to see if there is a cheaper price here instead of visiting the butcher shop.

[gauntlethades]

[Oho, meat, just the thing he's an expert on.]

Depends on what cut you're looking for, I guess.

[inb4gar]

Well, grounded beef is really what I'm looking for right now. But I don't mind steaks, cutlets, cubes or large roast since they can be heavy and filling too.

[rosaichthys]

[And while Shirou is shopping, he might notice someone who is looking a bit confused since lol never been to a supermarket before.]

[inb4gar]

[Of course he'll recognize that face anywhere. In fact he pretty much drops everything he had in his hands to go up to her. After all, last time he knew, she was kept around with the King of Jerks as a prisoner. Or close enough to be one.]

Saber! Where have you been?! Are you alright?!

[rosaichthys]

[Hearing someone call her, she looks up, surprised at his questions.]

I have been wandering around, but I am fine.

[inb4gar]

I see. Well that is good news at least.

... although something is a bit off with you, Saber. Are you not feeling well? You sound a little different.

[stop_it_tewi]

*guess who's shopping, too?*

Ah... Emiya-san...

[inb4gar]

[Oh SNAP. Now THIS is unexpected!

He's also just staring at you with a shocked look on his face and unable to really speak right now.]

[stop_it_tewi]

...

*she'll just... wait for him to snap out of it, then*

[inb4gar]

... there is only one way I know this isn't an illusion or some trick.

[Soooo... yeah. Reaching out for those ears.]

[inb4gar]

Long time to see to you too. I take it Alice doesn't put you on a tight leash, huh?

[Honestly wasn't really expecting to meet a lot of people here. Is there a sale going on? Bro, hook me up with that.]

[inb4gar]

So even if you're aren't on a leash, you're still being forced to do things because of this town. Can't say I really envy you but I have a feeling I'll be hitting that mark eventually for myself soon on where I am in that position myself.

And that's a good thing too! I'm looking for some beef right now... well any meat is fine, but beef is what I'm wanting. Are there any sales on that or do I have to go to the butcher's shop for that?

[Glancing at what was dumped in. They all look acceptable anyway so it's all good. =w=]
