Fate/Rebirth

The Crimson King nods, you sense his approval <ambition should always be guided with a cautious hand, you seem not to lack ambition nor do you lack in caution.>

You nod humbly accepting the compliment though this is indeed something that Magnus brings up often, which means it is vital for you to understand.

<Precisely> Magnus agrees your thoughts being just as open to him as your words <Confidence in ones abilities can soon turn to arrogance, which has lead many to their downfall, even though such as myself are not free from this rule.>

That was rather sobering, not just that revelation but the meaning behind Magnus's words, that he had personally suffered like that. It is a rather large warning for you.

<Yes> Magnus intones almost solemnly his voice's usual confidence not seen <Ahzek was better at it, he could maintain the air of being absolutely sure of himself and his actions while inwardly being far more cautious than any could believe possible. That is something you must strive for, to appear as if you are without doubt and be capable of being cautious as required at the same time, an enemy is easier to deceive if they are looking down on you.>

You nod saying <I understand Magnus sensei.>

Magnus's face takes on a contemplating expression <do you?> the Crimson King asks before holding his hand up for you to remain silent. <There is no need to answer that question for now it is bet that you rest your body and your mind> he instructs <remember that Rin is still at your house when you wake up.>

You nod and let darkness surround your vision as sleep takes you for now like Mangus said it is time to rest.

Rin PoV

You wake up to an unfamiliar sight and are confused until the events of last evening hit you like a tonne of bricks, you had made an arrangement with Shirou in exchange for helping him with his force weapon you will be able to access the results and be taught the process to create the unique mystic code.

Inwardly you chide yourself for being swept up in it all, but you do admit this new branch of magecraft that Shirou is exploring that he claims is unrelated to Thaumaturgy is indeed exciting, though the two of you will most likely be made sealing designates if your involvement is revealed. you note that some of the other things he was researching alone would get a sealing designation placed on Shirou all of them would ensure that the association will do whatever it takes to get their hands on him and his mystic codes if it will increase their understanding of magic.

The thought sends shivers down your spine, while becoming a sealing designate is technically the highest honour a magus can receive you would rather not suspected for whatever reason they decide.

First things first you are on unfamiliar territory and with the boogey man whom your mother would tell you stories of to make you behave. The thought about your mother does bring back some rather terrible memories that you buried only recently, of how your mother's mind had seemingly broken after the death of your father during the recent grail war.

Shaking your head to clear these thoughts you bury them under the fact that you are in the same house as the infamous and near legendary Magus Killer, Emiya Kiritsugu.

You know that Shirou told you yesterday that you were safe since you came in with him. Still you wouldn't want to push your luck if you were to get up and explore but Shirou did say you were safe here, though he was more than likely talking about the fake priest more than the Magus Killer.

Then the words that were spoken to you yesterday when Shirou had spoken of how Kotomine had been killed by a being shot in the hart by a bullet designed to kill magi. If Kriitsugu killed Kotomine then why was he alive and how did Shirou know this?

You note that Kiritsugu may have told him but how did he know that Kotomine was alive is the real question. You have so many more questions right now and for some of them you need answers.

[] Stay where you are, someone may come to check on you and it is rude to wander about in another person's house.

[] Go and look for Shirou, while you may run into the boogey ma-Magus Killer it is safe to say that he will not kill you, but you aren't sure most likely he wont.

[] Go to the dining room or the kitchen, you could use breakfast and it might be a good place to wait for someone to come along.

[] Try to go back to sleep
