Yeah sorry for the late update, I've been suffering from a minor lung infection which has made being creative rather difficult.
[X] Answer Shirou now, Long Term, while you hate waiting you would rather have something that lasts.
You clear your throat as you look into Shirou's unnaturally sapphire like eyes "I" you begin "I believe I would rather prefer to have something that was more lasting" you inform him.
For some reason or the other Shirou chuckled at this, he must have found something about this amusing, you on the other hand have no idea what he is chuckling about so naturally you flush with slight embarrassment "Well aren't you full of surprises Tohsaka san" he says yet there is a hollow feel to his words. Less of that he doesn't mean what he says and more like he is simply giving you only one of the reasons he finds what you said amusing. "I assume that you are patient enough not to demand that I give it to you here an now?" Shirou has the gall to ask making you flush further.
<And what on earth possessed him to ask that?>
Yes what indeed did possess him to make such a humiliating suggestion about you? "Of course not" you snap at him slightly irritated from the way he is behaving "why do you even ask? I am not some over excited little girl that is looking for every advantage she can get to stay ahead of her peers because she comes from the part of the world they will naturally look down upon."
While Shirou's reaction is simple, the act of him raising an eyebrow tells you that perhaps you should have not spoken the last few bits "Do you make a habit out of telling people your intentions?" Shirou asks hammering the final nail inside of the coffin. "While there is nothing wrong with the pursuit of knowledge I must caution that you keep a level head, rushing things from what I have learned rarely leads to positive result, in fact it usually causes negative ones."
You simply grunt annoyed at him as you open the gate to the residence. "Stay close" you instruct him as you enter the mansion. Not that there is anything dangerous "while he usually doesn't come at all the false priest may show up just to cause me some grief"
"Dead men are dangerous in their own right, one such as him especially so, though was such an existence ever truly human to begin with?" Shirou comments. "What interests me is the history of this house and the other rather foul deeds that took place here, recently and in the past"
You pause on your way to the basement, you remember earlier that he had said something along the lines that Kirei was killed, he hinted at Kiritsugu Emiya the Magus Killer being the one to do it. More importantly how did Shirou know about Kirei, or who the fake Priest even was when this was one of the, no the first time you had even talked about him to Shirou.
Did Shirou divine it? did he discover it since he may have been watching and recording you just as you were following him? How did he know? these questions fly through the inside of your skull as you heads to the basement. You get the feeling that you should confront Shirou about this, however this is neither the time nor place to since Kotomine may be here if you are not careful or may come here, and he is the last man you want to see on this earth. That and Shirou has made a habit of leaving you with more questions that answers.
[] Get the Azoth Sword and your father's notes on it and head back to the Emiya Residence then question Shirou on what and how he knows about Kotomine.
[] Question Shirou here, you are in, well near your workshop where you are supposed too be at your strongest, that asde you can have it as casual conversation or at least try to as you are collecting the Azoth Sword and your father's notes
[] Leave it be for now, but make a note of it so that you can ask Shirou at a later date where you aren't pressed for time, better to get out of here as quickly as possible if you want to avoid a chance meeting with Kirei.
[] Ask Shirou if there is anything else you should know about Kirei, While you may also want to know how he knows, perhaps it would be better to find out how much he knows before asking him the how, that and such a discussion can be done while you work so there is now harm in it.
