The Grail Wars ( Closed)

The wars were truly never ending. The timing and place of such happenings were not always concurrent, and yet the format remained the same within each Great Grail War. Seven sorcerer's were drawn to a specific place and summoned their servants to do battle for the Holy Grail. The coveted grail held within it the power to grant wishes, but only the magi who emerged victorious would see that day. The rest of the magi would die.

Such as it was, the cost of one's very life was the price of entry within the wars, and once they entered, the magi could not leave unless they won, or they were dead. Archer had seen many magi come and go, and not all heroes were summoned for each Grail War, but the final outcome was usually the same. The servants were all heroes from fate and time, legends in their own rights come to life.

Hassan-i Sabbāh had seen many come and go as well, and though he had his own shortcomings in regards to combat, the utility and information he provided to his magi was UN-mistakable.

Each servant was 'tied' to a magi, and though there truly seemed no loss for their passing within this world, the legends of history were all immensely competitive. Two hundred years had passed since the last time the Wars had happened, thus the magi were to be chosen, the masters would enter the battlefield and their champions would be provided to them. From there, the battle royale would commence.

The battlefield was Celestria, a smallish city which would prove to become the battlefield of choice. The time was fast approaching, and truth be told Archer had been waiting for this for a long time. He knew that he wasn't the strongest out of the heroes... Saber's defenses were invincible when she was fully unleashed... Berserker was just frightening at all times.

Yet to Archer, no one could hold a candle to him. He wondered who would be his master this time, and truly hoped that it wouldn't be some weak boy who knew nothing of magic or how to fight. After all the whole Grail Wars were ABOUT the Magi, so getting paired with a magi who knew nothing was hopeless.

The night was falling, and soon the choosing would begin. There was no turning back time, and as Archer felt himself being pulled from his world into the world of the Magi, he was ready. With his swords and his tailor red coat, he felt the pull and went with it. Archer was unlike any of the others, although no one knew that.

For now, he let the deceit move onwards, and waited to se of battlefield they would fight within this time! He hoped the summoning would be before the actual battle though, he would certainly like to know who would come to be called his master before life and death came into play!

Rin was brought up as the successor to her family's magecraft and was instructed by her father to prioritize magecraft over her own interests. Although Rin resents the sacrifices she has endured for the sake of tradition, she is fiercely competitive and eager to prove herself as a skilled and capable magus. After her father was killed, Rin continued to improve her sorcery with some guidance.


Rin is a model student and idol of Shirou's school.She barely talks to other students in her school and exhibits a desire to be left alone as exemplified by her tendency to stay on the school's rooftop, away from the rest of the students. All the boys wanted her, though she had no time or patience for their immature nature. The only goal in her life is to become powerful and win the grail war.

It was shortly after she turned 20 that another Grail War started and she was ready to summon her servant. Everything was perfect to get the one she wanted as she went to the ruins of her old home. It took some time to clear off the old summoning circle and set things up, the timing had to be perfect as well.

Once everything was ready she stood in the center of the summoning circle and began the incantation.

"For the elements, iron and silver.
For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Contracts
For the ancestor, my great master.
Close the gates of the cardinal directions.
Come forth from the crown, and follow the forked road leading to the kingdom.
Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill.
Repeat five times, but when each is filled, destroy it.
Heed my words.
My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny.
If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me.
I hearby swear that I shall be all the good in the world.
That I shall defeat all evil in the world.
You seven heavens, clad in the three great words of power,
Come forth from the circle of binding
Guardian of the scales!"

Rin stood in the glowing circle until the mark of the command seal appeared on her right hand.

When the incantation was done, she fell to her knees for a moment to regain herself only to realize she was alone in the room. A loud crash from upstairs made her run out to investigate and soon found a man sitting on a couch. This is not the servant she wanted to summon, cussing slightly under her breath and wondered what went wrong.

"What class are you? You are not the one I wanted, but it is too late now."

Archer immediately knew that something was wrong with the summoning, and unbeknownst to Rin, the necklace of her family was what truly 'called' Archer here to this point in time. His appearance came certainly with a crash, mostly because he had appeared in the sky ABOVE the house, his eyes widening when he realized what was happening.

Bracing himself though, he landed on a soft couch, and even as she appeared, the sign of the master was upon her right hand, but he snorted ever so slightly. " You're not exactly who I was expecting either. Nor am I interested in why I was summoned twenty feet ABOVE the house." He countered openly, Emiya wasn't sure what was going on, but his eyes narrowed towards her.

" You are clearly aware of the classes, but have no idea how to summon correctly." He seemed confused... though seeing the mark on her hand he narrowed his gaze towards her further. " You are my master?" He laughed aloud at that, though his features became serious again. " We're screwed." He didn't believe her a capable magi at all, but he moved and standing, he dusted himself off.

Disregarding her question for now completely, he seemed disgusted with the situation. She had no idea how to summon with a catalyst, she hadn't summoned him correctly, and he felt no sense of overwhelming magical presence from her. The upcoming Grail war provided him the energy to maintain his physical body, but without her help and power, he would be no match for the others.

Archer was not impressed at all!

Rin looked at him confused and then up at the hole in the roof wondering what the hell he was talking about.

"It looks like I summoned you just fine. It's not like you are hurt or anything."

She was acting like she did it on purpose and folded her arms in a huff. Clearly not impressed with his attitude about all this. There was no way she was going to ever admit at screwing up the summoning spell. In fact with his attitude, she was glad he went crashing through the roof.

"Yes, I am your Master and just what do you mean by 'we're screwed'?"

Giving him another glare of disapproval of the situation, noticing that he was ignoring her question. It still bothered her that she couldn't figure out what went wrong with the summoning as she looked at him.

"I asked you a question, servant. As your Master, I have a right to know what it is I am working with."

Archer's eyebrows raised in surprise when she said that, though he chuckled slightly to himself. " Not hurt? You scuffed up my clothes." He grumbled, though when he finished dusting himself off, Emiya seemed to consider her for a moment, though he went right over to the window and looked outside, seeming amazed by the buildings.

As she asked what he meant by they were screwed though, he looked over his shoulder to her slightly. " Come on... let's be honest. You didn't actually do the whole drop your servant through a roof in order to piss them off right off the bat thing did you." He sighed though and held up his hands in a surrender like fahion.

" I am the Archer class Master." He replied, though as she seemed to be already flustered by him, he moved and simply looked to her. " Why we're screwed is because in order to win the Grail, master and servant must be able to work together, and it's clear you don't want to work with me already." He moved a hand though and ran it through his hair slightly, seemingly taking stock of both himself as well as his surroundings.

" I am Archer." He introduced... His real name wasn't important in this... the servants were all simply referred to as their class, and fought for their masters. The 'rules' were simple... six heroes had to die to power to arrival of the Grail for a short time... just enough time to allow for one wish to be given!

"You're right. I was wanting another, however that doesn't mean we are screwed. It just means things will be interesting."

Rin turned to face him, looking over his form after he finally told her the class. She had to admit he had the arrogant attitude of an archer. With a heavy sigh she went over to the window with him, looking out at the night sky.

"Fine, I admit that I screwed up."

Though she wouldn't fully apologize for it either considering she didn't think she had to. Shaking her head and took another glance around the room and just shrugged it all as if it was nothing.

" You can call me Rin if you wish."

With that she started to walk out of the room wondering what the next move will be. So far their attitudes clashed and she was curious to know how well he will truly follow her instructions. Giving her hand a look knowing she only had three commands she can use to force him to obey, but she didn't want to waste them on petty things either.

"I guess we should go now. There is no point in staying here any longer."

He looked to her, considering her words but he nodded ever so slightly. " That's true." He admitted finally. After all he kept secret that he wasn't one of the famous Celestial spirits that she might have thought. The truth was that Archer was a Counter Guardian, a spirit that was given birth from a multitude of circumstances.

As she admitted that, he nodded slightly. " Thank you." He mused, though he added as he followed after her. This was her world, and he didn't see it very often. As he passed the room where the summoning circle was located, Archer slowed and frowned deeply as he saw the circle.

" You summoned me early!" It all made sense... why he was summoned out of place, why he couldn't remember much about what his life had maintained, and why he felt completely off with the situation. " The circles for the summoning s take sixty years to charge properly... how long has it been since the last war?!"

He seemed genuinely upset and worried, but as she mentioned going, he stood his ground as he crossed his arms over his chest. " We're not going anywhere until you answer me." He certainly didn't act like any other Servant she had more than likely heard of, and it was clear he was serious about it as well. Why she had summoned him early... it made no sense in his eyes!

His question and refusal to move confused her until she saw what he was looking at. She thought about his question a bit more and shrugged, not thinking that it was all that important.

"I guess it has been ... umm... fifty seven years now."

She did see the concern look he had though, there was some mention of what he said and yet she didn't think anything of it. Obviously she couldn't tell him that she was impatient and couldn't wait to summon her servant before the other Masters summoned theirs.

"I was told that it was time, that there were signs of the war starting again. There was no mention of it being to early."

Again she shrugged it off and started to walk off again, hoping that the answer would satisfy him enough to leave. Some things were never really explained to her so she didn't understand why it was so important. If it was too early, it shouldn't have worked, or so she thought.

Though she did go into the room and took a closer look at the circle and it's markings. It appeared to be the way it should have been and when she did the incantation, it worked just fine. Except for the crashing through the roof part, she didn't know that he was having other issues.

"No one mentioned that it was too early, just that it was time. I wasn't told much else beyond that."

Emiya couldn't believe it... but it certainly did explain quite a bit about the situation. Even as she seemed to not see the harm in what she had done, Archer shook his head in frustration though he turned and walked behind her, admiring the look of her.

When she said that someone had said it was time, Archer immediately jumped on that. " Oh? and who said it was time? because I want to have a little chat with whoever thought it would be a good idea to pre-emptively summon a servant." He growled slightly.

Even as she seemed to think that everything was fine, Emiya shook his head. " I can't remember my past." He admitted finally, his eyes showing honest concern. " I know what I am and how to fight, which is all that will be important for the wars, but I feel as though something is missing." He mused as he looked to the circle. She HAD done that correctly, but not all the glyphs had been charged. He finally simply shrugged.

" How soon until the War begins?" He assumed the other servants had been summoned as well, so he anticipated perhaps a day or so before they were thrust into the heat of battle!

Rin wasn't sure of how to answer him and it did make her think about what he said in regards to his memory. She felt bad for blaming her actions on someone else, though it was too late to take it back. After a moment she sat down on a dusty couch and tried to think about his question.

"There is no point in yelling at him. You are here now and not much can be done about it."

Since it didn't seem as if they were going to leave right away considering he was clearly upset. Rin laid down on the couch, draping her legs over the arm while staring at the ceiling.

"From what you told me and your reaction, I'm not so sure when the war will start. According to my families records, it is suppose to be soon, but from what you are saying... I can't answer that."

She looked at him as he studied the circle and saw the disappointed look crossing his eyes. He was far better looking than she had expected and she took notice of his features that she denied before. Though she sighed and tore her gaze away while blushing slightly after realizing she was staring.

"I can try to release you if that is what you want. Though it might do more damage at this point."

Archer gave her a slight look, but simply nodded. " You're right, it won't do any good." He remarked, though even as she moved to the couch, as she stared at the ceiling Archer completed his inspection of the circle and couldn't believe it... yet he somehow could. He doubted that anyone had told her to summon him early, but it WAS still strange that he end up above the house.

He let it go for now, and instead straightened as she said that about the war, Archer nodded. " It will begin soon. If the circle did have enough power to bring me here, it cannot be far off." He straightened and stretched as he did, not noticing her eyeing of him, and even as she said that about releasing him, he glared at her.

" Did they teach you nothing? Your command mark binds you to me until the end of this." Though that in itself was slightly a lie... she DID have control over him, but he could also act much more independently than any of the other Servants. Looking around, he had noticed her blush but had ignored it for now.

" Is this your house?" He asked, not knowing this world, he was as much a stranger here as anyone... but he looked curiously to her. She had a slim loveliness to her that he could not deny, though Archer was much better at hiding his feelings than she was apparently. He seemed to calm down, but he moved and looked out the window again, worry lining him as well as thoughts for the future.

He held little hope in Rin, but she would prove herself or die, that was how the Grail Wars 'worked' after all.

"I know the rules and how they work."

Rin snapped back knowing he thought of her as childish and perhaps she was right now. Though, what did he expect her attitude to be after all this whole night wasn't going the way it was suppose to be. There are ways to release him if he truly wanted it, however, they were not easy ways.

"I've spent my whole life learning to be a Magi. Sure there is still a lot I need to learn, but I am not some little girl that knows absolutely nothing."

She finally spoke after a few moments, though she wasn't nearly as snappy and managed to keep herself calm again. A few more random memories popped in when he asked about this place being her home. Some of those memories stung a tiny bit as she looked at the old junk in the room.

"It is. Though I can't bring myself to actually live here, yet I find the heart to sell it either. It became mine after my father died...."

Rin stopped talking after she mentioned her father's death, remembering that night as if it was yesterday. Other than the distant look though, she showed no real sign of emotions over it.

"Anyway, what should we do now? It'll be sunrise soon and I doubt I'll sleep anytime soon."

He nodded satisfied when she said that she knew the rules. He believed her and would leave it at that. Even as she further explained about the challenging paths that she had endured, he nodded quietly. He believed her when she said that she had spent her entire life learning to be a Magi.

" I am sure we will find out whether the training was of use soon enough." He mused, though he looked out over the city, Archer had no doubt that the roads they traveled further would determine the quality of people that they were, but he held no fear of it. Archer had fought in these Wars before, and unbeknownst to many within the realms of the Grail Wars, Archer had 'won' the grail once.

As she fell silent though he seemed to consider it, but shrugged to her question. " Why don't you take me on a tour of the city? It will be useful for when the time comes, and besides, we aren't really going to do much else here." He suggested. It was a good idea as it was, though he turned finally and going to her he offered her his hand up.

" Come on Rin, show me your world." He gently intoned, he serious about it... he wanted to learn more about this world... and since she was his Master, he wanted to learn more about her as well. It was partly investment, but also partly straight curiosity which fueled his desire to learn more about her!

She was glad that he was ready to leave this old house as she didn't like to spend a whole lot of time here. Though she was bit surprised when he dropped the subject of her mistake and didn't push to hard for information. After a moment of hearing what he wanted to do, she took the offered hand and stood up with him and lead the way out.

"The stores won't be opening up for a while which means the streets will be empty."

Though having empty streets made her happy, she hated the crowds and having to deal with people. On the way out she was wondering where to start this tour, not realizing however, that she was still holding his hand. The house they were in were on the outskirts of the city, even though she drove here, it was still a decent twenty minutes away.

"We can drop the car off at my house and start from there. All that is out here is overgrown forest."

Rin finally realized that she was still holding his hand and pulled it away as if it was nothing. Once they got into the car she was zooming off down the road at high speeds, maneuvering the car with ease.

"Do you know how to drive?"

Archer noticed she was alleviated in wanting to get out of there... and something told him Rin had endured a much more challenging life than she was admitting to. Instead of focusing on her mistake, he instead would focus on keeping them both alive. He had no idea how long it would be until the other Masters began to summon their Servants, so he left it at that for now.

As she said that though he headed out with her. He noticed she had held onto his hand but didn't think much of it. Instead he nodded to her. " That's good, the less people are out, the less chance that another Master might be on the scouting as well." He mused, 'giving' her a reason to want to avoid the crowds of people.

Even as he went to the car though with her, he seemed to instinctively know it, and even as she explained about the house, he nodded gently. " That's a good idea. I am not the most powerful of Servants, but with strategy we will overcome them all." He remarked, that 'ego' there, the confidence reassuring.

Since he was 'stuck' with her, he would do his best. Rolling down the window, he felt the warm morning air on his face, though as she asked that, he looked over to her. " I can do it, I am not nearly as good of a driver as Rider is." He remarked, though he added.

" I prefer motorcycles." Unlike the other Servants as well, he had the base knowledge of the world... he wasn't lost here like the others would be... he recognized things and admired the world for what it was. Celestria was soon going to become a massive battleground, but for now he simply enjoyed the breeze.

The truth was he was happy to be out, though he had very little memory of the past... perhaps that was for the best. For now he did look over to her, admiring her looks despite himself, though saying nothing further on the matter right then at all!

Rin kept giving him sideways glances here and there as she admired his features more. She never really thought about how a servant would look, she wasn't around with the last war and her father only told her stories of a few servants when he was younger. They were just spiritual beings to her and at first she thouht they would be void of emotions, easy to control. And yet, Archer here has shown some emotion and this ego of his is proving to indicate he will be a challenge to command.

"I've never rode a motorcycle before."

She finally said after a few mere moments of awkward silence. A lot of that silence was her thinking of what to do now, since he is going to be here for however long. Luckily she was done with college for now, taking a break from classes just so she could focus on this war thing.

"At least this drive provides a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. That is probably the only thing worth while out here."

There were questions she wanted to ask him and yet if he couldn't remember his past, they seemed pretty pointless now.

"Is there a name you prefer? Or should I just keep calling you Archer?"

He never seemed to notice her looks, or if he did he did a very good job of ignoring them. Truth be told he WAS a spiritual being much like the other Servants, the main difference came in regards to where his spirit CAME from. That was a story that he couldn't remember, and seemed all right with that.

As she said that he nodded. " Not many have, it's much more dangerous than a car, but I find it much easier to control." He remarked, though he added easily. " That and it's much easier to fight on one." He purred. As she seemed lost within her own thoughts for a moment, Archer seemed content to sit quietly for now.

As she said that though he smirked. " It's quiet out here. Peaceful." He remarked, though as she asked about his name, he gave her a curious look.

" I am Archer, that is my name in regards to this. Let's not confuse what this is." He mused though he added. " I don't remember my name... it's probably for the best anyway." He had a feeling he wasn't a good guy in his life, though whether that was true or not was still a mystery to him.

" Archer is fine for me." He finally admitted, his eyes on her as he seemed content with that as well. Shifting he looked to her. " What makes you want to win the grail? what's your wish?" All Magi had a wish, it was why they voluntarily entered the death match... for the ultimate prize!

"I'm not confusing anything. I was just trying to be nice is all."

She sighed and kept her eyes on the road for the remainder of the way. He was right though, they shouldn't get to know too much about each other. Once this is all over with, he will go back to his world and she will either live on or die. Getting close to people was never an option for her anyway, it causes distraction.

"Perhaps there is something I can do that will help you remember things. Since, it is my fault, it is the least I can do."

When they reached the city she slowed down and gave his question some more thought, her wish was something she never actually put much thought towards. Her family has been fighting these wars for generations and their goals ended up being her goal. In the end, it always came down to the individual wish of the magi.

"Honestly, I have no wishes for it. I just want to win. "

In a few minutes they were pulling into the gates of her home. On the outside it was similar to the house they had just left. Rin figured since they were here, she might as well take a moment to freshen up a little.

"Well, this is my place. I can give you a tour. Or just make yourself at home while I change real quick."

Archer shrugged slightly, but looked to her. " I haven't had a master who was nice before." He admitted, though it was just as well. The Grail wars were a brutal time... blood and tears were shed. Archer was sure the other Masters wouldn't think much about him seeing as they wouldn't even know who he was, but in a way that would work to his own benefit!

As she said that there may be something that she could do, he gave her a curious look but shrugged. " You're welcome to try, I have no real idea why I am like this." He mused, but fell quiet as well. As he looked out the window and seemed to contemplate himself, Archer felt the car slowing but looked at the house they were arriving at.

" A tour sounds good. Is this where you live most of the time?" He climbed out and stretched, though looked to her. He had no nefarious plans for her or any motivation to turn on her. The fact that she didn't actually have a wish for the Grail surprised him immensely, but he nodded.

" Winning is always the best. Who were you trying to summon when you got me instead?" He followed after her, letting her lead the tour as he followed, not nearly following behind as slightly to her side, his hands tucked into his pockets easily.

"Just don't tell anyone I'm nice. I have a reputation to uphold."

She stuck her tongue out playfully before leading him around the house. It was pretty decent in size, the main floor was a basic layout with living room and kitchen, many bedrooms on the second floor, an empty basement, a pool in the back. It was much too big for one girl living alone but she seemed happy with it all.

"Yea, this where I'm at most the time. It is close to the college and makes going to the markets easy."

They passed up a room that looked like a study with books all over the place, some were open on the desk and notebooks. On one table in the corner had a bunch of crystals and gems in jars making it clear that she spent most of her time in that room. When they got to her room, naturally the biggest one in the whole house, it was fairly empty and very clean like the rest of the house. The most furniture she had was her king sized bed, a few dressers, and a chair next to the window.

The whole time she was thinking about his other question though, making her recall the summoning spell she used.

"Turn around and no peeking!!!"

Rin waited till he turned before she started stripping out of the dirty clothes and changed into a short red plaid skirt and a tight t-shirt. Though she did take little glances at him to see if he was taking little peeks or not, changing in front of another person wasn't something she everyday.


"I was trying to summon Saber. Though now that I look at the time here, the clocks in the other house were an hour off. Looks like I screwed up more ways than one."

In that moment she wasn't ready to face him yet, realizing more and more just how much she screwed everything up. Though she bit her lip and sighed a little before fixing her hair real quick.

"You can look now. I'm ready to go when you are."

Archer arched an eyebrow when she said that, but simply nodded to her as he chuckled ever so slightly. " Your secret of niceness is safe with me." He replied honestly, and even as he followed her around, he noticed that a lot of the house was empty, which he simply found strange.

As she showed him around, he noticed which room she spent most of her time in, and even as they headed into her bedroom, he chuckled as she seemed to remember that he was there. " All right all right." He turned around just as she asked, not attempting to peek at her. It wasn't that he didn't find her attractive, she had asked him to turn, so he did.

As she changed, she could see the tight black pants he wore hugged every muscle, how the red overcoat created a nice contrast, though even as she finished and explained, he shrugged. " Saber is strong, there's no discounting that." He remarked, though as she said he could turn, he did so.

" Sorry you're stuck with me though, I know I'm not what you wanted. Perhaps though I am what you needed." He mused, though he didn't really elaborate further on that one. After all, sometimes Servants weren't summoned specifically with catalysts, there were four Servants who came without a catalyst, so there was a certain amount of 'luck' or perhaps providence to his words.

He noticed she was looking at him and said nothing about it, though the incredibly handsome male seemed to pay no heed to it. Servants weren't 'real'... right?

It wasn't often when Rin really took notice of men and yet for some reason this one intrigued her. Though after realizing she was staring at him, Rin shrugged it off and walked towards the door.

"Being stuck with you might not be all that horrible."

She gave one last look over her shoulder before leading the way out. Rin took him around town going through the markets, showing him all her favorite places. Even the college that she went too and luckily the day was uneventful. They talked about random things and she answered all his questions.

The end of the day she took him to the roof top of a sky scraper that gave the perfect view of the entire city. Rin sat lazily on the edge of the roof watching the sunset in the background.

"That's pretty much it. though I must admit it has been a while since I've wondered around like we did today."

Something caught her attention and made her think about the day, wondering if there were others yet. It wasn't anything of importance so she kept silent and didn't want to stress over it right now. After thinking about things she glanced over her shoulder to look at him and was curious if he had any kind of fun today. Even someone like him had to of found something interesting out of everything she showed him.

"It doesn't seem like there are others that have been summoned. At least, nothing came out of today. Unless you caught something."

Archer let her guide him around the city, learning as they went. For someone of the Archer class, he didn't seem to keep his distance or calculate things from range. He walked with her, quietly exploring, learning about her world which would soon enough become a battlefield.

As she said that he smirked as he nodded. " Same to you." He mused simply. Even as he learned about her through her choices of places, he nodded as they ended up on the roof top of a skyscraper. The view was quite nice, though Archer listened to her.

" It's easy to lock ones self away in the pursuit of something bigger than one's self." He mused, but even as she looked away thinking things over, as she asked him that though he shook his head.

" Not yet, there was no sign of any of the other Servants, so I suspect they have not been summoned yet." He mused to her, though he certainly had taken interest in a few of the places they had gone, especially the ramen shop, he had been intrinsically addicted to the food there.

" I have a feeling once things get underway it will all go to hell pretty fast. It usually does." He mused to her, though added. " We'll just have to work together to triumph." He seemed quite confident in himself, though she had yet to even see a hint of his weapons or his Phantasmal powers. He was very much a mystery to her, though he had learned a lot about her already!

There were a few things that she learned about him as well, other than being overly confident. She did notice the things and places he took interest in the most, finding that he was more than just a servant. However, he was still hard to read most the time and he was still very much a mystery.

"Peaceful days are always nice. Hopefully there will be more before any fighting starts.

Rin yawns and stretches out on the edge, hanging one leg over as she laid down. For her it has been a very long day and she was up all night far too excited that she couldn't sleep.

"Though, I've been awake for two days straight now. I think it's catching up to me now."

The setting sun brought out some beautiful colors and she watched the clouds roam across the sky for a moment longer. With another big yawn she finally stood up, looking over the edge of the building and grinned.

"You better catch me."

Just before he can respond, Rina started to free fall from the roof with her eyes closed and enjoyed the free feeling it gave. Though her heart was naturally racing wildly, she knew that he wouldn't fail to catch her.

He was thoughtful in his own way, and pursued the world with an open mind as well. His thoughts seemed to seem focused on the here and now. Despite his amnesia, he didn't seem to mind it all that much.

As they ended up there, Archer nodded simply to her. " I agree, it's days like this which are the best." He mused, though as she moved and stood up, as she said that, his gaze narrowed as she literally let herself fall. Moving faster than the naked eye could follow, he raced to the ground and like she had thought, he caught her up in his arms.

" You're an idiot." He grumbled... she could have been killed by that stunt, though it just went to show that he DID care whether she lived or died beyond simply as a servant. She weighed less than he would have imagined, but he held her in his arms, cradling her as he looked to her with a slight bemused smirk on his lips.

She may be an idiot, but he had caught her after all!
