Today only?? （*゜ー゜*）
Da Vinci-chan, what have you been doing to take care of yourself??
I mean obviously yes but?????????

Just not participating in fighting, of course! I have enough to hold myself together, it's just a bit of a problem when I don't have the materials at my disposal to solve things on my own!
So of course I was considering Master Candidates, and they were among my teammates and options were limited, so your arrival was pretty lucky.

If it's more materials you need, let me know!! I'll help farm them
However farming works here ლ(╹◡╹ლ)
I already spent my favor with the suggestion box but next month! You should let me know!
But of course I'll contract with you
As long as you want me, I'm here (o゜▽゜)o☆

Next month, get yourself your favorite snack or maybe another one of your Mystic Codes. In the interest in sounding like a responsible adult.
But I wouldn't worry, you're my top priority here. Where are you now?

I'll definitely listen to what my resident responsible adult says ♪(´▽｀)
Anyway I'm in my room
Hiding snacks

Already hoarding, I see.
All right, I'll be there shortly. Be ready to let me in before I have to get dramatic.

I already promised one of my teammates I could be the melodramatic and angsty teenager so if you wanna make it a two-man show, we could
Maybe not today but soon

[ They can be a manzai-bokke team sometime, except today it's probably not what the rest of Cerberus needs or wants. ]

Sounds exciting!
But not today. We can improvise another time.

I live in very interesting times, Da Vinci-chan ㄟ( ＿＿)ノ｜
But if you're headed over now, I'll be waiting! Unless you think it's easier for me to meet you

No, it's fine. I'll be right there.

[ and indeed, Ritsuka will get a text when she's outside the dorm! ]

[ When she opens the door, she is dressed in the Arctic Mystic Code again, instead of those prison stripes. She's a lot more comfortable in that than the old Chaldea uniform for now. ]

Wooooow, it's the great and beautiful Da Vinci-chan! Welcome to the Underworld!

[ She strikes a pose. ]

Thank you, thank you! Here I am to brighten up the Underworld a little more before I return to the sun!

[ Wow. ]

Just as expected from Da Vinci-chan!

Anyway, c'mon, I think most of everyone are having emotional hangovers, so we should probably keep it down just a little bit.

[ She gestures and steps aside to let Da Vinci in. ]

Emotional hangovers?

... Never mind, I don't want to take responsibility for anyone else's emotional well-being right now. I'm sure they have support and I'll practice my bedside manner of minding my own business.

[ And she steps in!

... Wow, this aesthetic. ]

Yeah. It's kind of what it is.

[ She is not really that much more used to the decor, let's be honest. ]

There's also no exits except the front door, so I'm considering practicing my blanket-rope making abilities. C'mon, my room is this way.

If you need to spend the night at Sphinx, you can.

... Though we're hardly equipped for guests right now. To be honest, we're hardly equipped for ourselves, so you'd better believe I'm putting in work to change that! No rest for the weary beautiful geniuses, I tell you!

[ she gripes, but she's still following. ]

Cool, I don't think I'm in a position to invite anyone over either. Everyone's either sad, or more sad, and I'm still trying to figure everyone out so I even know how to help.

[ TA DAH, HER ROOM, which is the absolute bare bones out-of-the-box setup. She has not really done much to it except, as noted, squirreled away snacks wherever they can be hidden.

Or, you know, some are just in plain sight. ]

Yes, I imagine for someone who gets deeply involved into other people's matters about ten minutes into meeting them, this must feel like slacking.

[ But she says it lightly, as she's looking around.

At. All of the snacks. Amazing. ]

I don't always do that! Sometimes it takes me half an hour.

[ Also usually there's a lot more immediately pressing "the world is going to end" or "this Singularity is going to grow and destroy the world" or "guess I'm going through this prison tower with the Count of Monte Cristo, that's fine" matters involved.

And listen, Ritsuka is a growing girl, by which one means that because she's so low level as a mage she has to compensate with food, and there is no Emiya here to swoop in and cook incessantly every three hours. She's not about to ask her teammates to feed her unless they're already making things for everyone. ]

Sometimes, it even takes me a whole forty-five minutes.

But usually not any longer than an hour, right?

[ This girl. ]

Well, the situation's both less and more concerning than what you've had to deal with before, but we'll figure it out. For now, are you ready?

If you already know, you know!

[ There is no reason to be cagey or downplay it around Da Vinci. This is the one person in this whole place who can call Ritsuka on any of her bullshit and have the authority and understanding to do so.

And now she holds her hands out without hesitation. ]

I'm glad to be working with you again, Da Vinci-chan.

You too, Ritsuka. Let's make the most of it, shall we?

[ She reaches out.

CONTRACT GET. ]

I always do!

[ HOORAY CONTRACT GET.

There is also a little bit of tension that seeps out of her posture at that, the kind of thing that's only really noticeable in its absence, and probably not something someone who didn't already know her well would notice. ]

...

[ She just silently tugs her in. Plunk your head on her shoulder, equally short Master. ]

[ Well. She's not gonna say no. ]

...I'm really, really glad you're here. Even if it's not forever, I'm glad.
