"I saved you"

Characters: Archer and anyone who wants to greet him--so OPEN.
Setting: Tonight, room 3-16 and the hallway outside it.
Format: Starting with prose, but feel free go to action brackets if you'd rather!
Summary: Someone new shows up in the Tower and has some unusual reactions.
Warnings: Probable violence and likely angst.

There's a strange sound echoing out of room 3-16 tonight. What makes it even stranger is that the voice behind it is someone new. Here's what makes it so strange: it's laughter. There's a new person in the Tower, and he is laughing.

The laughter goes on for almost a minute, at times bubbling near to hysteria. Finally, though, it cuts off, and a much smaller sound can be heard: the *CRUMP* of paper being balled up and flung away. And Archer stalks out of the room.

(He just read the letter, you see. It said, I saved you. That's why he was laughing.)

He stands in the middle of the hallway with a disinterested look for a minute; apparently all the mirth has been drained out of him. Then he shrugs and throws his hands up in front of him. "It isn't very much of a new home. Well, why don't I test it out?" And without him appearing to draw them from anywhere, twin swords, black and white, flash into his hands.

He swings them at the wall, hard. And the blades shatter, and the shards vanish into thin air.

The man in the red coat is left blinking down at his hands, then at the wall he struck. He doesn't look too surprised, though--and what little surprise he does have on his face is rapidly fading to resignation.

I know that, Archer. I'm not dumb.

[She sighs.]

I would just be happy that someone I loved tried for my sake.

I don't know anything about the Shirou your talking about, but the one I know gave up the idea that he could save everyone for Sakura and my sake...

eighteen_winters: (hey!)

I'm not lying! He could have killed Sakura and saved many, many, people. But he didn't!
eighteen_winters: (grrr)

What makes you think you know my Onii-chan better then I do, you stubborn servant?

I'm not your master, so I can't force you to answer anything. But you not answering and a few things that happened where I'm from makes your silence a bit suspicious.
eighteen_winters: (eh)

Then there is no point in fighting any further over the matter.

eighteen_winters: (hey!)

[Illya can't help herself but to sigh.]

You know what I mean.
eighteen_winters: (wicked smile)
