I have two things to speak of today, starting with the one directed to the residents of this Tower as a whole.

[She holds up a striped billiard ball from the bar on the 88th Floor.]

I wish to learn to play this game. Who can teach me?

[She then idly rolls the ball in her fingers as she continues.]

As for the other matter, it is directed to those from my world or a variation of it where a specific war takes place involving magi. With Rider gone, his ridiculous idea of a conclave amongst us to discuss the War and those of us involved in it should also disappear.

Though I understand why the King of Conquerors wished for the gathering, it was folly to believe such a thing could ever happen and remain peaceful. There are worst fates than a death that does not take here. I know that there was one that had been planning to use Rider's conclave as means to gaining power with all gathered in one location. Had Rider carried his meeting out before his disappearance, I would have seen to neutralizing that threat.

Should another of you be foolish enough to pursue this idea, I will not and you will reap what you sow.

My planned method in that matter is none of your business.

[He glares at her for a second more before deciding to shift the topic.]

All that matters is that you won't help in case someone else sets up a similar meeting. What would you suggest for us then, if you're opposed to any sort of conference between us?

What point would it serve? We all know how treacherous magi are, including the magi themselves, and there are several class of Servants lacking in honor.

I have given my warning. It is the rest of your choice whether to heed it or not.

The way you talk about it, it's like you expect another Grail War to break out at any second.

[But strictly speaking, it's not that big of a concern to him. His main objective is to keep his Master safe, just like he's been doing this entire time.]

It could and it is wise to remember that. And even if that was not a possibility, it does not mean one of us or the magi may decide to gain more power using the sources they know and understand.

I am not against alliances, Lancer, but I think gathering us all together in one location is a very bad idea.

[He takes a second to consider her words and then nods again.]

I think Rider might have managed it. But now that he's gone, I don't think anyone can successfully contain a meeting between us.

[It would be extremely easy for the meeting to break out into a free-for-all brawl, if anything.]

Rider's Master seems to be suggesting that we try it, though.

I could, but I do not support this meeting. Nor do I intend on attending if one comes to pass.

Waver Velvet is biting off more than he can chew if he believes he can control the meeting.

I ain't attending either. The kid sounds like a good Master, but not someone who can keep more than one Servant pacified.

[For one thing, he probably couldn't put out the show of force needed to intimidate Servants into respecting him.]

He is not a leader; he is a follower.

At least in this stage of his life. He has the potential, otherwise he never would have been able to summon Rider, but he still has to grow.

He was pretty impressive back during that experiment.

[When he wasn't playing video games in his boxers, that is.]

You gotta give him props for trying too.

That does not change the reality of the moment.

No, it doesn't.

[Come to think of it, he'd need to keep an eye on Diarmuid too. Just in case his roommate wanted to find some way to "help."]

Keep that in mind. Now, we both have better things to do than continue discussing this.

[She has a game to learn.]
