What are you doing? Why are you doing it?

[fujimaru]

But let's be real, when have any of us actually known that?

IN GENERAL: 1. Spoiler-experienced through the end of Part One 2. Spoiler-aware through current 3. Spoiler osmosis, ish, for events in all other fates 4. OTA Seriously I don't care if they've actually showed up in a fate property or if they're an AU of someone who has, cross-canon, OC, whatever; OTA is Open To All 5. Including for shipping because I'm easy and so is Ritsuka* * Not like, EASY EASY easy, but you know, easy. M/F, F/F, handholding or smut, however things go! 6. Flexible for commentspam and/or longer comments. 7. Hello friends please play with me (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ If you'd rather I write a starter just lmk!

[It's just a standard morning in the cafeteria of Chaldea and here comes a small king carrying a tray of food with a... well, considerably larger than "standard" serving of everything.

This is normal.]

Master, good morning. May I accompany you for breakfast?

[fujimaru]

Good morning!

[ I mean, once upon a time that was probably intimidating. But at this point, she's at least gotten used to the various eating habits of the Servants. If anything, it'd be more weird to see any Arturia without anything less than supersized servings. ]

I don't mind at all. In fact, please do.

[ Please, save her before a Kiyohime or someone like her swoops in, ]

[appetiteking]

[she gives a polite nod and smile in return before sitting across Ritsuka]

You're up early... I thought you would be more inclined to take it easy and rest, now that your mission has ended.

[fujimaru]

Haha, you know...

[ She shrugs a little, sort of hunching her shoulders. It's folding in on herself without really making herself smaller, her fingers curled around her mug. ]

Guess I really got into the habit of getting up early.

[ You know who probably fussed at her if she overslept for too long, too often? Roman, ]

[appetiteking]

[oh no, she said a bad, glances down at her own food] Well, it is by no means an undesirable habit. Especially if you're aiming for a productive day.

[fujimaru]

[ Oh no she made King Arthur sad. There are going to be Knights howling for her blood at any second now, surely. She waves both hands quickly, distracted from her own solemn mood for the moment. ]

Y-yeah, you know! It's not like I was doing a whole lot before I came here, so, I'm glad for better habits! And stuff like that.

[appetiteking]

[quiet for a moment, but she's nibbling on something, so it's not an awkward silence or anything]

That's right... Soon you will be able to return to that previous life of yours...

[fujimaru]

Yeah... back to being just plain old me. Think it'd look good on my resume?

[ She holds out her hands, fingers stretched into Ls to make a frame. ]

"Saved humanity once. Did pretty okay at it."

[appetiteking]

There is no need to be so modest, your performance was splendid right to the very end.

[fujimaru]

I just did what had to be done.

[ She lowers her arms until her elbows are on the table, but her hands are still in the frame position. ]

But from the way Da Vinci was talking about it, all these new people coming in aren't going to care about that much.

[appetiteking]

They'd be fools not to recognize your efforts; after all, it is thanks to you that they'll be able to show up at all.

If you need to someone to vouch for your skills, many of us would be happy to do so.

[fujimaru]

You're really nice, aren't you?

[ She drops her arms finally, folding them together on the table. ]

Mash and Da Vinci have been telling me some of what to expect. It doesn't sound like they'll be impressed no matter who vouches for me.

But knowing you guys would makes me feel better.

[appetiteking]

I'm simply being honest, Master.

At any rate, if it is bound to be an unpleasant experience no matter what, then perhaps we should do something to take your mind off it.

[fujimaru]

[ Okay, she definitely perks up at that. It doesn't actually matter how many times someone extends an invitation to her, she's always excited when a new one is given. She sort of half-rises, though not quite to her feet yet. ]

I'd like that!

Honestly, anything is better than just waiting around here for the hammer to fall.

[appetiteking]

[oh nooo, Master is being cute. she chuckles, a bit]

Very well. Then let us figure out a plan while we have breakfast.

What sort of activities seem appealing to you right now?

[fujimaru]

Maybe a walk?

[ They probably can't sneak a Rayshift anywhere sunnier and the snow has picked up again outside of Chaldea, but, ]

Something where we're moving around instead of just sitting and waiting for things to happen.
