[] "Rider. Explain. What happened between you and this lady. You've been acting real weird, Rider. What did you do?"
You couldn't help but wonder what's gotten Rider all tensed up. Maybe this alliance thing wasn't going to work out and you were already having second thoughts about it. Still, you should at least give it a swing more than anything. But before that you had some questions you needed answering.
Rider was behind you and was giving the woman before you a wary look. You weren't sure what happened but
something did and it was enough to rattle the Queen of Connacht.
"Rider. Explain," you began asking as you glanced back at her, "What happened between you and this lady? You've been acting real weird, Rider. What did you do?"
Medb sighed as she spoke, "I was out gathering mana when I met her. One thing led to another and we sort of spent the night together."
"It was quite the experience as well," Kiara said as she giggled on her seat. She took her teacup and blew on it, "I never would have thought she was a Servant."
"And you didn't seem like a Master either," Rider replied as she crossed her arms.
"Rider... That was risky. Be more careful, okay?" You told her with a pointed look.
"Yes. Carefulness would go a long way especially after such a night. Tell me, Rider, is that man doing well?" Kiara asked as she sipped her tea. She let that hang in the air for a moment as Rider froze up.
The woman continued and smiled, "Perhaps you ended up taking a bit too much in your fit of passion?"
Rider took a step forward before Archer placed his attention on her, keeping her place. Medb schooled her expression and didn't give anything away.
"Rider?" You frowned in your seat.
"It's nothing," Rider said as she grimaced, "Please don't ask any more."
"That would be a shame to the soul you took. Tell me, when you're gathering mana, was that truly the first time it happened? If I didn't know who you were, I might have guessed you for a succubus, Miss Rider," Kiara said as Rider tensed up by your side, "How many
accidents have you had since you started?"
Accidents?
Rider narrowed her gaze before speaking, "We're not here for that. Get on with it or we're leaving."
"Dear me, I was just making conversation. In any case, you may be correct. Let's discuss the matter of Berserker," Kiara said as she leaned back on her seat, "What do you think should be done?"
"You're... On board?" You blinked in surprise.
"Why of course. Defeating the greatest threat benefits us both in terms of living longer. We'll still be fighting after the battle but that's to be expected," Kiara said as she crossed her legs and smiled your way.
You stared at her before glancing at Rider. She must be giving you the reins as a show of trust. Which meant that you can use this chance to figure out the best way to take out Berserker. Kiara had the manpower and resources to contest even Hans should she truly want to, making her a boon.
But...
You were worried about Rider.

[] Stop this for a moment. You need to talk to Rider. Maybe you can go out and take a breather, you're not feeling relaxed here.
