[X] [Myself and Fujimaru are going]
Shirou would have an idea that having Ritsuka around improves security with her Shadow Servants.

And there Is no way Illya isn't curious about a girl who looks too much like her Little Bro and seems to be way to calm for a first rodeo.

Also, Ritsuka seeing Illya and thinking/speaking of Magical Girl Illya and or Sitonai Is just too funny.

Also, Holy Cow, we have confirmation Is Lostbelt Ritsuka. I wonder from how far into Part 2 she Is from. At very least she must have destroyed the first 4 Lostbelts
 
Oof, this is tough. I trust Ilya to not harm us and hear us out, and the last time we were here she even kept her temper when we talked about Kiritsugu. But things are going off the rails even quicker than before, and Medea's input on this and back-up in case the unexpected happens would be a godsend. Having Gudako come with us could be less egregious, and having another master unconnected to the war could reinforce the notion that things aren't right. As for everyone coming, I just think it's a bit much if Rider is getting testy on that.

Not quite ready to vote yet, anyone have any opinions on this?
 
the line about going through russia and scandinavia confirms she's been through at least 2 lostbelts. I don't remember if Erien has given an official image or description of the Mystic Code she's using.
She's wearing the school uniform at present. She hasn't shown any mystic code at all.

The last one is the most in-character for Shirou but the other two are much more interesting IMO. After all this is a clusterfuck of a grail war.

Results so far.

Because its probably best to let Fujimaru get first hand information on this whole situation, instead of counting on Shirou asking the right questions.

Hopelessly outvoted from the looks of it, but my reasoning is that if Illya has her servant, then Shirou should have his.

If shit goes down when we're inside, caster can take her of herself. Fujimaru can at best insult servants.

My reasoning for Ritsuka having dealt with the first 4 Is that they weren't as meaningful like the 5, Let alone 6 and 7.
Would be weird for Ritsuka only having dealt with the first two, which also were the most painful, and not 3 and 4 which weren't as emotionally heavy
 
"I'm fine," you straighten yourself out. you're fine.
Missing capitalization.

Ah. This is the kind of choice I like. What does it say about us, and how does it influence our relationship with the person in question?

Of course, this being Illya who already stated she doesn't wish us harm takes a lot of the edge off. If this were Rin, before she revealed herself as she did this morning, this would have been a lot more spicy.

The choice to ignore Rider is out. It is rude to violate the laws of hospitality and invite yourselves where you are not welcome.

Taking Medea with you implies we want to maintain parity... which in our case means 'we want to be as much of a threat to you as you are to us". There isn't another reason to keep a Servant around when negotiating with another Master. However, we are the petitioners here, and it is perhaps better for us to show trust in another's benevolence.

This leaves two other choices then. One would let us keep it a family matter, and one would make this a business negotiation where we are asking for a favor on Fujimaru's behalf. I am not sure on the implications of both... but I feel like Shirou is not ready to process his familial situation, much less that his newfound sister is his rival in the War. So it's better to approach it one step at a time, using the pretext of Fujimaru's situation to work alongside Illya. How succeptible is she to the idea of cooperation?
