Hey.

[Lancer takes a deep breath before speaking.]

So I'm gonna be throwing my brother a birthday party. Who wants to come? And do any of you know what people do for birthday parties in this day and age?

[A pause.]

Oh yeah, Archer, stay away from the party if you know what's good for you.

When will this take place?

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

probably a week from now
give me some time to get the food and games set up
you coming, Saber?

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

I will consider it, though do not be disappointed if I choose otherwise. He and I are currently at odds. My presence may ruin the mood of the festivities.

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

i've heard
i think he just needs a chance to see that you're not bad
and you need a chance to see he's not naive

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

I have been watching and seen nothing yet to change my opinion.

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

if you've been watching then you should've seen how he cared for others
could someone naive care for another person so well

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

Yes. It is possible to be naive about some things and not others. It is not a simple situation, Lancer.

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

then what would you say he's naive about?
and is it really so important

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

We have gone over this before and I have no wish to repeat the conversation. It is important because he made it so by accusing me of lying and not being a knight out of his inability to see reality for what it was.

Those are not words I am likely to forget anytime soon.

[His hands clench into fists as he sits at the terminal. Seeing that from Saber reminds him all too well of that incident where Waver had died.]

i'll get him to take it back
i don't think he was thinking clearly back then

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

If he does not mean it, I do not want his words, Hound.

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

>what do you want from him then

[He's afraid the answer might be somewhere along the line of having Diarmuid change his beliefs.]

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

Nothing.

Re: Text

[puppy_lancer]

whatever
you're still welcome to come and have fun
i'll give Diarmuid a heads up

Text

[scorchedchivalry]

I will think upon it.
