{Bazett, by this point, is frantically searching around. It does not show on her face, but her step is just a little quicker than it should be. She wants to see him, to make sure that he is alright. On the outside, she is still calm, but on the inside, she is close to having a nervous breakdown. She hopes desperately that Lancer is still alive, but with every second that passes, she knows that chance gets lower and lower.]

Lancer?

[She finally decides to just call out to him, whether he can hear her or not.]

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 19:01:32 UTC

[A calm and reassuring hand on her shoulder was Bazett's only answer--he could hear her just fine, he just couldn't answer. Damned post office.]

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 19:12:05 UTC

[She almost jumps at that. She slowly turns around, not knowing if the one behind her is an ally or enemy.]

[When she finally sees him, she is still for all of one second before wrapping her arms around him in a hug. He is alive, and he is real.]

[She knows it is embarrassing. She knows that it oversteps the boundaries of their relationship, seeing as how they are no more than friendly acquaintances. Yet she can't help it. She's just so happy that her hero is alive.]

Lancer...

[She feels tears streaming down her face. It is as if her body wants to make things more embarrassing that they already are. Even as she wills herself not to cry, the tears continue coming. And yet she also feels like laughing through her tears. She has never felt anything like this before. It completely destroys her image as a calm, rational Enforcer and a mature person, but she cannot care less at this time.]

Sorry. I am afraid that I am not at optimum condition right now.

[Even as she apologizes, she cannot stop smiling or blushing.]

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 19:22:41 UTC

[Even if he could have complained about her reaction, he wouldn't have. Sure, she wasn't really the same, but she was still Bazett. That counted for something.]

[So he just sighed and hugged her back, shaking his head slightly. Neither of them were in great condition--hell, Lancer doubted anyone really was.]

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 19:39:44 UTC

[She is a little surprised that he hugged her back. She is glad that her strange reaction did not offend him.]

S-sorry...

[She continues to apologize.]

I-I know it's silly. Something like this can't kill a hero like you. But I was...worried about you. After all, you are my ally, and if you will allow me to think so, my...friend.

[She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. She slowly, reluctantly, starts letting go of him.]

I am glad to see you alive. Have you had any contact with your Master yet?

[She has lost sight of Tohsaka in this crowd.]

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 19:52:08 UTC

[He smirked slightly and ruffled her hair in response. Of course they were friends. Why shouldn't they be? A nod of acknowledgment was his answer to her question--yeah, he'd found Rin as soon as he could. With everything going to hell like this, he was just glad to see he wasn't the last one alive.]

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 19:58:58 UTC

I see. I should not have doubted Tohsaka either. Since she is your Master, I would have expected her to be equally hard to kill.

[She supposes that the nod is in response to both her request and her later question. However, there is something strange about his method of answering her.]

Lancer, are you okay? Why are you not speaking?

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 20:05:32 UTC

[Ah, damn it. She was going to notice eventually, of course. It was a hard thing to miss, considering Lancer never really shut the hell up.]

[Sighing, he took her hand and slowly started to trace letters out on it as he'd done with Rin earlier.]

Fine. Long story.

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 20:11:20 UTC

[She nods, paying close attention to the letters that he is tracing out on her hand. She has a slight feeling that she will not like this story.]

Go ahead. Tell me everything.

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 20:18:54 UTC

[No, she probably wouldn't.]

[Lancer sighed again--shame he hadn't found anything to actually write with. He didn't even know if Bazett knew just what kind of function the post office had here, and it was a lot to explain. Especially using a method of communication like this.]

Ask Rin to explain. She can still talk.

[A pause--Lancer smirked slightly and continued.]

Hard part's shutting her up.

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 20:25:02 UTC

I will have to find her first. Even if it is troublesome for you to communicate like this, can you at least tell me if this is the result of some sort of injury?

[Servants should have been less vulnerable to the smog that filled the air. If a human like Bazett could still talk, then how come a Servant like Lancer could not?]

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 20:26:34 UTC

Not injured. Trust me.

[With everything that was going wrong, Lancer could at least say that much for certain.]

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 20:35:22 UTC

[She is happy that he is not injured, but this just makes trying to figure out how he lost his voice even harder. Then she realizes the only other way this could have happened.]

...Post office?

[Did a voice even count as something that could be given up?]

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 20:38:25 UTC

[...Oh, so she did know. Somehow that wasn't a reassuring thought. If anything he felt a little worried that she might end up doing something stupid like Rin nearly did.]

[He crossed his arms and gave a slight nod to confirm it. Turns out the phrase 'take whatever the hell you want' was a really stupid thing to say. Hindsight, oh well.]

answerer_sword November 28 2011, 20:43:53 UTC

...At least you retained your regain?

[Turns out trading in her left arm for a Noble Phantasm that she couldn't use because they did not automatically grant her back her magic circuits was not a smart idea. To make it worse, the regain had gone away and her arm had grown back, meaning her trip to the post office was completely useless.]

You could have told me earlier. I would have gotten your voice back.

[Since Lancer's regain was something that he could apparently still use under these conditions, it would have been more logical for her to give up her arm to help him.]

At least this does not affect your combat capabilities.

riastrad_ridire November 28 2011, 20:47:27 UTC

Didn't get anything.

[Okay, now he just looked flat-out embarrassed.]

Did it for Archer. Don't tell him.

[Not like Lancer knew it didn't work that way. Oops.]
