[ A full chested laugh, even leaning forward again to slap his knee. That didn't even last a single few exchanges, and he already put her on the ropes. Ah well, point made... ]
Not a problem. Hell, I'll foot your food bills until you can get some income of your own, or get sick of hotel food.
Though I have some bad news; there's not a single proper Japanese place in town. Which I guess is unsurprising, but with all these offworlders here, you'd think a Japanese chef wouldn't be too much to ask.
[ It's partly an attempt to get back to her earlier sarcasm, but it's also sincere. She's saved! Turns out, even though she doesn't have to eat to maintain enough energy for her Servants, she still needs to eat? Wow, rude, having a fallible human body that needs things like proper food at regular intervals. ]
Right now, I'd be happy with anything that's available! --But there's also Emi--uh, Archer, right? It's not the one we know, but he should still know how to cook, right? Maybe he still takes special requests.
[ But that's an admittedly small pool, and she knows it. Mash gets it, she gets it, and then the child Servants, and that's it. Between him and Atalante, there's no shortage of that. ]
I dunno, are there like--classifieds here? There might be people who know what they're doing, they just don't know you're looking. I'd volunteer to help with cleanup, if you find one.
[ There it is! There's (one of) the magic word(s)! Ritsuka immediately bounces to her feet, bright-eyed and eager. If she had a tail right now, it'd be wagging. ]
[ Kipposhi chuckled, giving himself a moment before he uncrossed his legs and plant them to the floor to stand himself up, doing so with a small, showy flourish before reaching to adjust his cap. ]
My Fool of a Master is here, and all seems a bit more right with the world...
You say that, but I don't doubt you would have made your way, all the same. You've got that special charisma, an intangible magnetism. Tokugawa had it, too.
[ He reached to fluff his hand into her hair, scattering locks here and to, his smile softening. ]
I won't fuss with the other Servants here, I barely know most of them, but if you need anything at all, I will be your Avenger, still...
[ She laughs, allowing the ruffling for a second before she bats at his hand, kitten-ineffectual. ]
--I'm not gonna ask you guys to deal with each other unless you want to! I promise.
But... thanks. It means a lot.
[ She knows herself; she would have been a thousand--a hundred thousand!--times more anxious on her own. It isn't even a fear of being able to handle herself, just that she knows how lonely she would be otherwise. ]

Besides, I want a proper chef, not some guy who's overcompensating for his terrible personality.

I'm taking you out for steak. It's the one thing this place does exceptionally well.

I probably would've gone a little crazy with no familiar faces.
