[Under the cover of his hood, Archer regarded the device recording him. He wasn't entirely sure of the scope of the camera's view and ability to pan, though--so, he didn't notice that in the immediate background, a number of sapling trees could be seen readily. Sweat ran down his cheeks and to his neck visibly, liking from using his 'Growth'

You look really tired.

[Stating the obvious. Just because.]

[grave_of_roots]

That's what one gets for exercising.

Y'know, in return for being healthy, you have to have to put in effort...

[unenlightening]

You could just stand under the sun a little. [No Lycoris, that's for plants.]

-- What's that behind you?

Hmn. [The grunt he let out was a pained display of exertion. Using a day's worth of magical energy to turn seeds into saplings was, essentially, more tiresome than running for hours on end.]

Looks like some trees to me.

[bearswitness]

Oh well thank you this has been a good waste of time then.

[grave_of_roots]

Heh. If that's what you've got to say, it must be a self-perpetuating waste of time.

[bearswitness]

Yes it is I love nothing more than seeing minutes tick uselessly by.

[grave_of_roots]

Well, we haven't quite hit the minute mark, yet...

Want to aim for it?

[Oh, now there's a voice Saber actually recognizes! As she lounges on the couch she had claimed for herself, she regards the other Servant with an amused smile.]

Oh, never did I think I would see you in such an undignified state, Faceless King.

[In an instant, Archer's previously good mood plummets.]

[A Servant that he doesn't know, clearly--who knows him more than one would expect.]

Great. This is the last thing I wanted.

[She's completely unaware that he does not recognize her, and continues to address them as if they had known each other for a while.]

Why the displeased look upon your face, Archer? Surely even though you've fallen to my sword, I'd expect you to at least have enough dignity to not be a sore loser.

[It confirmed a few suspicions of his, at least. He didn't like the look of his master and his first few commands. Overall, Archer was convinced that he was running his way towards an inevitable loss with someone that suggested he fight 'fairly'.]

Brag all you want, lady. If you really do know 'me', then you should expect this kind of shut-down. [He disconnected his end of the feed, knowing better than to fall to taunts when at a complete disadvantage of knowledge.]

[zamitalltohell]

Hm... Perhaps an introduction of yourself would be in order, zam.

[Video]

[grave_of_roots]

That certainly wasn't it.

Just the same, I don't have anything to give, anyway.

[Video]

[zamitalltohell]

Hoh? Are you simply shy or keeping a cool image, zam?

[Video]

[grave_of_roots]

There's no need to delve! I may be handsome and cool, but I don't have anything as dignifying as a name.

[She recognizes the courtyard from her own house, even if the trees are a new addition.]

You're with House Sigyn too.

[Video]

[grave_of_roots]

Guess I am. [Not that there was a point in lying. He tried sneaking around the other houses and felt the 'impulse' to leave them each time.]

[Video]

[fortunes_arc]

That puts us in similar positions then. [She's been keeping mostly to herself these last few days, sorting out her thoughts and plans.] Tear Grants. You?

[Video]

[grave_of_roots]

Sorry, I don't have a name to share with you. I'm not that lucky a guy.

[In a way, he was lying and telling the truth in the same breath. In this case, it was more aligned with the truth.]
