[ when the audio feed begins, a loud tapping can be heard. it seems whoever is using the device doesn't seem to realize it's been turned on, and is still poking at the touch screen unaware.
... you know, that tapping is pretty loud--what are they doing, trying to beat their device into submission...?! ]
Hm? What is thi-- [ oh, welp; looks like ( Read more... )

he plays the entire message right through, noting how fast she formulates ideas (quick as always) and taking note of all her theories, comparing them mentally to his own. it's good to see her, and at the same time it isn't, because... well, wherever he should be, she shouldn't be there as well. ]

also voice, since she isn't using video so why should he give away his body language and state so easily? ]
Competent as ever, Rin. [ how hard is it to figure out an iphone??? ]

"rin"
they way they said it, and in combination with the fact that only only male who ever really called her rin aside from kariya and her father was-- ]

is that what she should call him?
is that what she's allowed to call him?
he is no longer her servant, or even a servant at all--it's almost offensive to continue call him by a servant's title.
and his other name... that isn't one he probably wants to hear. ]

[ if he's bothered, he doesn't show it, at least through his voice. it's the only name he has, really, so it's to be expected that she would use it; using his real name right now would be far more offensive and annoying.
he notes the fact that she freezes up, though-- it's unusual for her to not have more to say, but he continues on as if nothing happened.
finally acknowledging the rest of her message: ]
Is that really all you've determined about our current situation? [ almsot bored sounding. it's not as if he's thought about it any more than she has, but that's never stopped him having a jab before. ]

she isn't really sure how to carry this conversation, admittedly. it's an odd situation, and she doesn't know how to approach it. he's acting as if nothing had ever changed... but no, that isn't right.
but that's just like him, isn't it? ]

Rin. [ he isn't really one for helping things; the best he can do is continue to act the same. ] Even if the situation seems strange, do your best to hide your surprise. [ some might see it as a weakness, after all. ]

Let me guess, Archer: you already have everything figured out?
[ because he is acting extraordinarily cocky about it. she knows her (former) servant well enough, and it'd be no surprise for him to already have every answer despite asking her a million questions. ]
Reply
[ in truth? not much more than her. he's obviously not obligated to tell her that, though, and sticks with a roundabout (if still honest) answer. ]
Reply
haha, why would she expect anything else from her former servant? ]
Even I figured that out, Archer.
Reply
[ god rin it's like you expect him to assume you're smart or something ]
Where are you now? [ did she figure things out enough to not be wandering around in the dark... ]
Reply
[ huff! what does he expect her to do, tell him everything? jeeze! ]
Reply
[ actually... she needs to speak with him, but first: ]
--Emiya-kun is here as well.

[ he'd expected as much-- hoped to a certain extent, even, because he needs them together to change the boy's future. not that he'll ever admit the hope part.
his voice shows the slight tinge of disdain she's probably come to expect when talking about shirou, though it's far far reduced from what it used to be. ]
I assume you've spoken, then? [ or met up, but that could probably be inferred from her answer. ]
