Reminder that Arcueid said if we did 'anything'. Bet the old guy can be spiteful enough to find her and sick her on us if it furthers his plans.

Eh, it's a better form of immortality than 'all the worms.' It even has reversible degradation! You just need to find an equivalent to a Grief Seed.

    You tilt your head and study the withered old mage. Even a fairy would recognize this as a bad deal to accept, why would such an apparently-experienced mage offer it? Your mind returns to your initial meeting with Tohsaka - she, too, made an obviously-bad-for-you offer … perhaps the offer isn't intended to be accepted? It's being offered so he can't be accused of refusing to cooperate, but he doesn't want to … and he is responsible for Rider's Master's condition. So he doesn't want to ruin his chance at … whatever it is he's after. If he were just after the Grail, something like this shouldn't be necessary. After mulling it over for several seconds, you shake your head. "No. I do not find this an acceptable deal." He sighs and puts the worm away, letting it squirm back into the sleeve of his kimono.

    "And I suppose you aren't going to offer anything to make it more acceptable, hm? Bah." He chuckles good-naturedly and you look back at Ilya.

    "Did you have anything else you wanted to ask, Ilya?" She gives you another of the odd looks she's been giving you all night and shakes her head. "Then I believe we have no further business here. Thank you, Matou, for the information you have shared with us." You incline your head politely and step back to put an arm around Ilya's waist. Tohsaka glares at the old mage and squeezes one of her gems, but doesn't resist when you grab her arm and carry the two mages up out of the pit. The old mage watches you, ancient face unreadable, and fades into the darkness around him. You set Ilya and Tohsaka down and follow Ilya out of the Matou residence, with Tohsaka coming after you. The younger mage coughs once you're on the street.

    "Illyasviel, why'd he react like that when you called him Makiri?" Ilya looks back at her and sighs quietly.

    "He was one of the three individuals who started the Holy Grail Wars, Rin. And I hold memories from the Einzbern representative, so I have some idea of what he wanted, how much he's changed." She falls silent and Tohsaka crosses her arms. "… Did you want to do anything else while we're here, or should we just go back to the castle?" Tohsaka sighs.

    "I guess not. Not really anything to do except tell Emiya-kun about what's going on, but with Saber out of action and Rider sitting on him, it's probably for the better that we leave him out of the loop. If it weren't for Rider I'd say to go there and deal with him, but if we try anything Sakura will probably come down on our heads once Rider lets her know what's going on." You file that under 'sure-fire ways to get the attention of things you want to kill' and look around. There's not really that much you want to do … and even less that you can do. With no other option at the moment, you make your way to the edge of the city and make another boring flight to Ilya's castle. Sella and Satsuki meet you at the steps and Tohsaka heads inside, but Ilya holds you back. She studies your face carefully before stepping back, still looking worried.

    "Are you alright, Flan?" You tilt your head, watching her, and she fidgets nervously. "I thought maybe I noticed something when we were at Shirou's, after you called Arcueid. But then you seemed more normal when we got here … and then the Shadow came, and you were hurt. You seemed like yourself when you woke up, but then after Rider came you were …." She trails off uncomfortably. You aren't sure whether you should be happy or irritated that she noticed the change in your attitude, your growing irritation with the situation; it's nice that she cares, but you should have kept it better-hidden. "Do you just need some rest?"

    By now this is not just me being annoyed by this world anymore, I really think Flan needs this.
     
    Cutting losse would be a good idea to relieve Flan stress level but this would set Arcueid to come after us. Not a very good idea. Here is my vote.

    [X] Talk with Ilya about how you're feeling stressed and confined.
    - [X] Tell Ilya that you want to play some games with her, like hide and seek or something to relieve some stress.
    -- [X] If not, got to sleep a bit.

    Why?
    If she cared about people dying, she'd help against the shadow.

    A being like Arcueid never really care humans in the first place. She is beyond them in literally every sense of the word. Unless their caught her attention like Shiki and Ciel did or she gain understanding of humanity and moratally, she won't care about humans at all.

    All she cares at this point is wherever Flan had done any large scale damages to the humans populations. If she does, she will come huntung Flan and this is not something Flan could handle currently with the shadow around.

    Attack a town and Flan will have bitten too much.

    Also why?
    In another city we can break her safely, without harming our friends.

    Observer (Canon)

    Remember the omake. Flan will have a hard time defeating Arcueid in combat even if Flan can destroy Arcueid eye. We are not even sure whether Flan could even destroy Arcueid eye. Even if she could, she will come right back after some time and will bring more power to bare upon Flan. Shiki mystic eyes of death perception could't kill her so why Flan could?

    Another things is that the Kaleidoscope, Zeltrech would mostly likely be observing as well. If he thinks Flan is going too far he will intervene. He also the kind of opponent that Flan had really low chance of winning since he is a being that had mastery over the second magic that involves operations of time and space in all its forms.

    Arc was very specific, no murdering in this town. At this rate we're going to snap in battle and smoosh Ilya or something.

    Ehhh, best not go on a rampage and keep all that wrath bottled up for the inevitable Saber Alter fight. Rather not go to another town if it means risking not fighting Artoria.

    That one will be fun.

    It should also end up with crushing Saber Alter's eye, because with her degraded Instinct that will actually work, and her Excali-spam is too dangerous.

    Plus Sakura probably recognizes Flan as a major threat by now.

    Ridiculous luck stat and magic resistance. Both are degraded in Alter.

    Notably though, I'm concerned that leaving Fuyuki means that Illya and the others will be undefended when the Shadow/Dark Sakura come knocking. I've got a feeling that it won't be long.

    Or at the very least, we should be getting ready to straight up just rush down the grail cavern soon.
