All this time? It was barely a couple days.

[emotive]

I'M FLYING OVER.

Where are you?

[swordboning]

Are you? What if I didn't say where I was?

text

[emotive]

please

[swordboning]

This is a silly argument since you know where I probably am.

[emotive]

Okay
I'm coming over then alright

[swordboning]

Before you ask, you're not getting any free food.

[Because at his food stand is the only place he would be.]

[emotive]

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT

I haven't been able to eat well for the past week!!

[swordboning]

Which means that, in the end, you do want food.

[emotive]

don't make anything im too upset to eat!!!

[swordboning]

Tea then.

action.

[emotive]

[She doesn't reply back with a text because she's flying over REALLY FAST.

Ai is already dropping down from the air near Archer's food stand and the minute her feet touch the ground, she sprints towards him without any hesitation.]

Archer!

action.

[swordboning]

[He holds out a hand. Mostly to halt any incoming hugs.

Archer doesn't do hugs, even under the effects of previous events.]

1/2

[emotive]

[SHE WASN'T GONNA HUG HIM ANYWAYS? HMPH!!

Instead, Ai looks up at him when she finally gets up close, her eyes full of a lot of words that she doesn't know how to vocalize.]

... I ...

...

action.

[emotive]

[Sniff.

And there's another sniff. And there are imminent tears. BUT SHE'S COVERING UP HER FACE and then wiping her eyes with her jacket sleeve because there's no way she can stop herself from crying. She's been crying a lot and it's frustrating, but Ai can't find any other way to express her sadness, her relief, and her anxieties.]

W-W-Welcome b-back!

action.

[swordboning]

You do realize that if you keep acting like that, I'll think someone actually missed me.

[No one misses Archer, ever.]

action.

[emotive]

[CLEARLY SHE DOES BECAUSE SHE'S A DOPE]

Y-YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL!

Don't just assume that much!!

action.

[swordboning]

And what, exactly, am I assuming?

action.

[emotive]

[SITTING DOWN GIVE HER food TEA and she's still wiping tears away from her eyes so that she doesn't start sobbing. Everything's been stressful, heartbreaking, and a serious test of her emotional endurance.

But Archer's okay. And right now it's a mixture of happiness and irritation because. Well, Archer.]

Of course I missed you! And I'm sorry I couldn't do something sooner for you.

action.

[swordboning]

I'm sorry for the fact that you missed me... [Not apologizing for being missing but apologizing for that terrible emotion that Ai shouldn't have.] ...but there's nothing you could have done at all.

action.

[emotive]

"Could haves" and "would haves" are useless at this point, I'll admit that much.

[Thank god, Ai's calmed down now. She puts her hands in her lap, looking down at them instead of looking at the Servant.]

... But I did get rid of that robot.

action.

[swordboning]

Ah. Is that what happened to it then?

[Okay, now that freakout is over, he may as well start brewing tea NOW.]

action.

[emotive]

Y-Yes. I tried to clean up afterwards as best as I could.

... How did she kill you though? [His body is physical, but isn't he a spirit? Ai's knowledge is a little limited at this point still.]

action.

[swordboning]

You're better off not knowing the answer to that.

[That he doesn't want sympathy from it happening, which is what he's sure will spawn from an honest answer.]

action.

[emotive]

... Alright.

[She'll comply... For now... (and what are you talking about, she's always filled with sympathy and too many feelings)]

You're back though and that's what matters to me.
