It's Ritsuka! I've either fallen asleep or couldn't find my phone in time, so leave a message.

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. ]

From:

davincible

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. ]

From:

fujimaru

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.

From:

davincible

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?

From:

fujimaru

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.

From:

davincible

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

[ She reaches out.

CONTRACT GET. ]

From:

fujimaru

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. ]

From:

davincible

...

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

From:

fujimaru

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

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

From:

davincible

[ She smiles, resting a hand on her head. ]

It won't be. But for as long as I'm here, you can talk to me about anything. Or whine into my shoulder. I'll allow it.

From:

fujimaru

I might need that.

Cerberus seems nice as a team, but... I don't know how much I want to tell them, yet. It's not that I want to hide everything, I just don't know how much they need to hear.

From:

davincible

It's not how much they need to hear, it's how much you trust them to be able to hear without you feeling bad about burdening someone with it.

Luckily for us both, I'm here for any and all unreasonable and unruly complaints of yours, even when you inevitably adopt them.

From:

fujimaru

I might not!

[ But she's smiling as she says it. She knows better. ]

...I don't want anyone to worry about me. There's nothing they can actually do to change or help--I think I'm on a whole team of main characters, Da Vinci-chan, everyone's got their own things to worry about.

From:

davincible

... Wow. That sounds terrible.

[ Sincerely. ]

From:

fujimaru

It's gonna be a wild time.

[ Thanks Dad she appreciates it. ]

From:

davincible

I think you'll manage somehow, but I'll look forward to the stories of who tries to be sacrificial first.

From:

fujimaru

I'm calling not it.

[ It's entirely possible it will be her. But given Cerberus's makeup, it might not! ]

From:

davincible

You'd better.

From:

fujimaru

I want to save people, and that includes me.

[ Please don't mention any of the times she has done something without thinking about her own safety. Somewhere, that board in Chaldea that reads DAYS SINCE MASTER DID SOMETHING STUPID is just waiting to be reset to 0. ]

From:

davincible

[ YEAH SHE IS ALREADY OPENING HER MOUTH-- ]

From:

fujimaru

Anyway it was good seeing you, Da Vinci-chan!! You should come by later when there are more people who are conscious!!

[ SHE'S NOT TALKING VERY LOUDLY FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON WHY DO YOU ASK. ]
