"I don't know." Shinji knew it was the truth. After all, the magic of the Matou was not exactly easy to learn, and it was unlikely Shirou had ever encountered it in any real form. "Maybe one day. Perhaps you should ask Sheba for help. Engraving a pseudo-foundation to bridge the gap should be something she could do, given some time to prepare."
"How?" Shirou blinked for a moment, before looking sheepish.
"Sorry Shinji. I spoke out of turn. You really should broach it with her." He answered. Shinji just huffed, a hand gently tracing the hilt of an exquisite sword.
Shirou looked older. That much was true. His face had more lines then Shinji remembered, his body covered in what could be called the traditional garb of an archer and his torso wrapped in a large haori. His mouth twisted into a small smile.
"You're you." Shirou's answer was quite dry. "That's all you need to be."
Just what could Shinji truly be? On some level, he knew that he didn't really want to find out. To know oneself absolutely was something that Tohsaka had warned against, for there was only one outcome to knowing yourself.
"Ha, so who got Sakura?" Shinji quipped, leaning his head back slightly. Shirou blinked for a long moment, before his lips turned sly.
"When you see things, they become recorded in my internal world. It's the magic of the Infinite Forge of Wrought Iron, my Reality Marble." Shirou answered. "Ame-no-murakumo-no-tsurugi isn't an exception. There isn't anything like it in here, either."
"No, it's not." Shirou admitted. "It's special to me. Don't try to make that one, either. It would probably kill you." Shinji could only nod, a small smile gracing his face.
"She didn't want to wake up." Astolfo answered. "Perhaps she was enjoying herself too much."
"You are exotic. So is she." Mizukume nodded at the cave's entrance. "They will want to keep you. Be on your guard. I might be able to convince Shuten-chan to not do anything rash, but you will be on your own if Ibaraki-chan decides she wants to keep you." She paused just briefly. "Though knowing her tendency to break her toys, you won't last very long."
Interesting, he even has a different Reality Marble from EMIYA. Well, I suppose it's only natural, given that F/SN never happened here."When you see things, they become recorded in my internal world. It's the magic of the Infinite Forge of Wrought Iron, my Reality Marble." Shirou answered. "Ame-no-murakumo-no-tsurugi isn't an exception. There isn't anything like it in here, either."
The context makes me think it's Excalibur Image, but the question of what would lead this Shirou to see it puts that into question.Shinji just huffed, a hand gently tracing the hilt of an exquisite sword.
"Cast me away." He whispered. A long moment passed. "This one isn't rusted."
"No, it's not." Shirou admitted. "It's special to me. Don't try to make that one, either. It would probably kill you." Shinji could only nod, a small smile gracing his face.
LET'S MOSEY"Let's get going." Shinji grumbled. "Time's a wasting." He paused for just a moment, before smiling. "Let's mosey."
Worms.Oh. Fun. Not....bad, but....something to keep in mind. I wonder how Shinji's exotic?
Anyone know what Shirou's talking about here? Also, should we tell Sheba about her and Shinji's Servant dream world things being linked?"Only if you were looking for a different answer." He answered, staring into the distance. "Just remember something for me. You're not empty. You are a full vessel. If you need help, then it's perfectly fine to demand rent."
"From who, you?"
"And anything else that's here." Shirou stated.
I think it might be referring to the fact that the Matous have a demon in them or something. And also that he's supporting multiple servants.Anyone know what Shirou's talking about here? Also, should we tell Sheba about her and Shinji's Servant dream world things being linked?
Im sure i could make the shonen thing blow up in your face. After all, Sheba does have her own character, she isnt a mirror for you to just bounce off.
[X] Talk to Sheba or Mizukume. -[X] Consult then on both the best way to comport yourself, and why to do if things go south. You need to be prepared for what may happen, as you have a sinking feeling that things may not go your way.
[X] Head straight to the Oni.
I like the vote, but I'm not sure what we're expecting to find in the foothills.
