I was.
[Kiritsugu draws a kitchen knife from his coat. He's ready to cut the telephone cord before Waver even finishes asking who Saber is, or if Kiritsugu's her Master anymore.]
You can continue the war while we're here, but that will get us nowhere. Both of our Servants were likely turned into humans upon coming here.
[Kiritsugu gives this piece of information with three purposes. First, he wants Waver to know that his Servant is still here, even if it narrows the possibilities of who he is down to two (Kiritsugu has seen him interact with Kayneth). Second, he wants him to know that he knows Rider is here. Ideally, this puts them at a stalemate, in what is best described as the magic world's equivalent of nuclear deterrence. Lastly, through not asking him a question, he tries to establish a truce with Waver. As a Magus, he'd expect him to try to kill him if the opportunity to did so permanently presented itself, but seeing as that would put Illya in danger, Kiritsugu would be sure to strike first.]
sorry for the wait! velvet_cakeJuly 19 2011, 05:04:31 UTC
I'm more interested in finding a way to get out of this town than I am in continuing the war. My top priority is finding a way back to Fuyuki.
[Waver picked up on the other Master's purposes quickly; he was analyzing the information given to him and trying to discern as much as he could about it. Just because he didn't want to fight a war over something that wasn't there while they had bigger problems didn't mean that he didn't think it prudent to take whatever information might be useful in the future.]
[Besides, how was he supposed to fight a war against Servants when his own would never want to regain his status as a Servant?]
We have that in common. As long as the war's influence doesn't reach Mayfield, I'm willing to consider this a truce.
[Kiritsugu doesn't do the 'working together' part very well, no matter how much someone may or may not look like Maiya. Still, he wants to be able to keep an eye on anyone with a motive for killing him.]
[The thought of mentioning he's not interested in the war anymore does cross his mind, but that would put him at a disadvantage. Saber has talked with Rider. If anyone would know her wish, it would be him. To say Kiritsugu has no interest in the grail would basically be coming out on no longer having her to support him.]
Rider's Master.
[Wait. Before Waver even has a chance to react...]
Are you from after the war?

[He didn't recognize Kiritsugu's voice, but if he knew he was a Master...]
You're one of the other Masters, then?
