Characters: Illyasivel Von Einzbern and OPEN

Setting: In and around the Dorms

Format: Action Spam

Summary: Illya is none to happy to be seperated from her family and friends and relives this anger via pouting.

Warnings: Spoilers for Heaven's Feel are likely.

[Illya sat on her bed and thought. It was not the supposed destruction of her home that upset the young Einzbern daughter, but rather that it meant she would eternally be separated from those she cared about most. To never see her precious older brother without being able to truly convey what he meant to her was a punishment more harsh then any this vile place could level against her. She thought of the chaotic mess that the Grail War had become, of her servant's transformation into an unholy creature of darkness, and what may happen should that shriveled old man have his way. Though if the planet itself were destroyed none of this meant anything, but if it didn't, and she was not around to carry the War to it's natural conclusion it would mean an awful end for all she held dear. It was almost to much for the small girl to bear.

Any near her room may hear what sounds like a small child quietly sobbing to herself.]

[Only able to sulk for so long, Illya eventually resolves to leave her room for the time being and go out into the wider world. Roaming the halls around the dorm for a short while, all the while exploring her strange new home as a bid to chase away the dark thoughts laying heavy on her mind.]

[The dorms did offer a chance for one to find some new people, but other things tended to lure them away into new places. One such example? The incredible aroma coming from the kitchen, no doubt, could allure someone like Illya maybe?

At any rate, if she were to arrive in the kitchen, she would no doubt see Hei frying some meat and cooking. Anything was better than this pumpkin flavor food.]

[Saber was deep in her thoughts when she left her dorm room. Kariya's arrival and what it could mean - that the dead of her past were able to be alive at the Tower - had her mind on the others of her past that had died. Some she would want to see again; some she certainly would not.

So, when she caught the familiar sight of pale skin and long snowy hair out of the corner of her eyes as Illya disappeared around a corner at the end of the hall, Saber mistook her for another, coming to a halt.]

Irisviel?

[She started down the hall briskly, chasing the after image in her mind, and called out.]

Irisviel.

[Lancer is walking through the dormitory halls, holding two mugs of pumpkin juice. His beer has run out, so now he's taken to trying to ferment pumpkin juice. Because he's so focused on carrying his juice, he doesn't notice the little girl until he almost trips over her.]

Hey!

[You know what Gimli can't stand? Crying children. 's not right, children in this place. Plenty of things to make them cry in a place like this. So there's a slight knock on her door.]

Everything alright there?

[Being one cannot contemplate the fate of an entire world for very long without becoming a bit hungry, Illya's journey soon takes her to the kitchen as the emptiness of her stomach wins out over the angst in her heart.] What are you making?

[Illya would know that voice anywhere. It was a girl she once tried to kill, who had been the servant of the one most beloved to her. But this wasn't the girl that was summoned to fight the Fifth Grail War, it was her shadow. A creature wrought of darkness and the taint of the Grail itself.

But even more then that, to hear her mother's name in a strange place like this was puzzling to say the least. Want to know why Saber would utter her mother's name, she follows the the sound of her voice. Being careful to be on guard just in case.]

Do you know my mother?

[Saber stopped short when she came to Illya, her eyes widening a moment in a way more reminiscent of the servant she'd been before she'd been claimed by Angra Mainyu. She cursed herself for the mistake, having made a point to never let Illya know of her past connection to Irisviel.

That moment was brief before her expression settled back to it's unreadable mask.]

I did.

[Illya sneers at Lancer as a bit as he recovers his balance. She was in no mood to deal with people yelling at her at a time like this.]

Watch where your going!

[Illya pokes her head outside the door for a moment, wipes the tears from her eyes, and tries to put on a happy face.]

I'm all right. Just a little depressed about being kidnapped.

[He opens his mouth to snap off a reply, but stops when he sees it's just a child.]

...Sorry.

[Gimli looks up at her and offers her a grim nod.]

Understandable, understandable, it's not a pleasant thing to think about.

[Illya was shocked, to say the least. She knew Saber solely as the servant of her Onii-chan, to think she knew her mother as well.

The why and the how of such a scenario raced through her head as she tried to formulate a response to such a revelation.]

I assume you remember who I am then?

[Dusting herself off Illya's anger quickly dissipated. He had appologized and that was enough for her.]

It's all right.

[She nods, this place was awful. The less time she spent thinking about it the better.]

I'm going to miss my brother most of all.

We all have things and people we miss.

[Gimli pats his beard a little.]

But we can remember them fondly, even if we miss them.

Illyasviel von Einzbern.

[She was tempted to leave it at that, keeping her answers short and guarded, but as the mistake was hers, she felt the need to apologize.]

Forgive my mistake. I had not full sight of you at first.

Its all right. I know for a fact that I look like a smaller version of my mommy.

[Illya pauses for a moment, remembering what this particular Saber had done to her friends back home.]

Your not going to hurt me, are you?

[Saber was silent for a long moment, thinking about that comment by Illya, before she answered the question asked.]

I have no reason to harm you at this time.

[He nods.]

So...uh...what are you doing here alone, kid?

First off, I'm not a kid. Second, I was just exploring since I'm new here.

[Illya breaths a very visible sigh of relief. She had enough to worry about without having Saber after her without Shirou around to defend her.]

My onii-chan said Saber was a good person so I'll trust you for now.

[It dawned on Saber then that Illya wasn't put off by her pale hair and yellow eyes. The Einzbern master had seen her before, with her tawny hair and green eyes, when she didn't wear black...]

My appearance is not a surprise to you. That means you and I have something in common that the other masters and servants here do not.

You sure look like a kid.

[He frowns a little when he hears about her being new.]

Be careful, then. This place isn't the safest spot in the world.

[Illya is confused once more. What could this servant possibly be talking about? Like it was before it was best to press her luck while Saber was still willing to share.]

And what is that?

[It was so irritating being treated like a child at times. While it was fine with those she cared about most, to have random strangers treat her differently merely because her growth was stunted was a annoyance to say the least.]

I will, I'm used to being in dangerous situations after all. And, for the record, despite how I look I'm 19 years old.
