Eins

[erbe]

For the elements, silver and iron. For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Pacts. And for the ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg. Close the gates of the four directions. Come forth from the Crown and follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom. Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. Repeat five times. When each is filled, destroy it. Set.

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 hereby swear that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all evil in the world. Thou Seventh Heaven, clad in the three great words of power, come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!

[This is a master (haha) post for Fate/PSLs! If you need anything specific tailored to your character (like a starter that doesn't start with the summoning like the above) let me know! We'll work something out over PM or Plurk.]

[A yelp escapes her when he takes to the sky. Rin holds with a tight grip as she presses herself flush against his back for fear of falling. If it wasn't for the life or death situation she'd find flying through the skies exhilarating, or even fun.

For now she buries her face in his shoulder sans her eyes looking over it. The wind makes her squint, and her eyes water, but she's determined not to hide from all of this.]

[avaricious]

[He keeps them moving for several minutes and avoids taking any straight path and instead veers through a residential path as he zigzags their way. It's only when he thinks that they're well away from being followed that he stops on top of a small apartment building. It's not the Tohsaka Mansion, but there's a really good reason for that.

He gives her a little nudge to prompt her to let go. Somewhere during all that he probably would have choked if it wasn't for him realizing he could place his shield around his neck.]

Here's our stop, boss. We're uh, probably gonna need to take the bus.

[He actually has no idea where they are. Whoops.]

[erbe]

[Her footing is a little unsure when he sets her back down, so her hand grips his sleeve when she releases her hold on his neck. After blinking vigorously to get her eyes back to normal she rubs them briefly. It takes her a while to get her bearings, but when she does she groans.]

Let's start walking. It's a little ways until the next station.

[Her hand reaches up to touch her cheek. Can she really get on a bus looking like this?]

[avaricious]

First thing's first.

[He steps away from her, giving himself the room he's going to need in just a moment. His eyes close and he begins to concentrate. It took a mental effort to stall his healing, so he releases the mental block he had placed there. Suddenly the dark evening is illuminated by the red crackling that emerges from his left elbow. Within a few seconds, his wrist and hand is completely reconstructed from bone, to muscle, to flesh. Once it's completed, he stretches his hand out and nods satisfied.]

[erbe]

[The reconstruction of his arm catches her by surprise. The crack of red and the flesh as it all knits back together... it's a bit sickening. Her stomach flips, but other than look a little queasy her reaction is kept to a minimum.

Well, she does notice one thing at least.]

You... didn't use any of my mana for that?

[avaricious]

[He closes his regrown fist and opens it again, stretching each of the fingers out. Yup, works like a charm. He's glad about that, because he wasn't entirely sure how that was going to go now that he was a Servant. It looks like his Philosopher's Stone was completely in tact.]

Don't need it, boss. I've got more than enough for the both of us.

[Which sort of puts the servant-master relationship on its head. He doesn't need her for her mana. Just her credit card.]

[erbe]

Good. That means I don't have to hold back in order to have enough to keep you materialized.

[She wonders perhaps then if she can manage to pour some more of her mana into the gems she has just in case.

Either way they should get going. Rin begins walking toward the nearest bus station, and tries wiping away the blood on her face with her scarf. It's already ruined. She'll have to toss it.]

[avaricious]

[Greed follows after, not bothering to make the effort to conceal himself. Right now the biggest threat they have to worry about is some after dark lowlife deciding that she looked like easy pickings. He follows behind her, his hands buried in his coat pockets.]

... so we might have a small problem.

[erbe]

Are we being followed, Saber?

[She doesn't turn her head to address him. She doesn't move to look around. Her eyes scan the immediate area while she tries to sense any nearby magi. If they didn't have their circuits blocked off to conceal their presence she should be able to make out if a powerful magus is close.

However because of her father's death the training she got from Kirei was mostly combat oriented tilted toward self defense. You know, instead of the formal training a magi at Clock Tower would get.]

[avaricious]

[He stops a moment and blinks. Followed...?

A moment later and he chuckles softly.]

Poor choice of words, huh? No, I meant about before. See, I kinda think the entire magi community knows my face now.

[erbe]

Was that what all the rumbling was about? I thought maybe that servant was using her Noble Phantasm on you. Well, if they know your face you probably shouldn't materialize outside of the house.

[Her posture becomes less intense, though it's still guarded quite a bit.]

[avaricious]

Mm. [She's probably right about him materializing. Which is a total bitch, because he really wanted to be able to enjoy himself in this modern world.] It was some kind of projection spell. She was only an Assassin, so the whole thing was just to lure another Servant.

[He kicks his feet at a loose stone on the ground and grunts unhappily. He hates that he was tricked like that.]

[erbe]

Then we better be wary about being followed. It's another block or so to the bus stop. You can dematerialize now, though.

[A suggestion he probably won't like, but that means even another magus won't know he's there unless their servant tells them.]

[avaricious]

Kinda have the feeling that a pretty girl like you walking alone at night is gonna get a lot more unwanted attention than I am.

[Besides, it's dark. Recognizable or not, his face isn't gonna be spotted easily.]

[erbe]

Oh, is that what you're worried about, Saber? How noble of you to escort a lady alone in the dark. But I'll have you know that kind of trouble isn't more than a girl like me can handle.

[Yes. This is what you get for calling her pretty.]

[avaricious]

[He glares daggers at her and his temper gets the better of him. The last thing he wants to be called is something stupid like noble.]

It's not that you can't handle it! But I'm your goddamned servant, so you shouldn't have to!

[erbe]

[Oh, he's angry! She laughs and takes a few hurried steps away from him to get out of his reach should he want to grab at her.]

Oh, look at that! Who would have thought my Saber would be so bent on protecting my honor! Truly I'm blessed.

[It's obviously clear she's mocking him, even without the playful laughter falling from her lips.]

[avaricious]

[He could sweat that he's got a vein throbbing just now. You try to do something decent and this is what you have to put up with...]

Tch. See if I care, then. Unless it's another mage or servant, you're on your own.

[And he stubbornly even goes invisible too. If that's how she wants it!]

[erbe]

[Rin giggles for a short period longer before taking off towards the bus stop again. This way dematerializing was his choice/idea, and she won't hear him complaining about how they messed up and now he can't enjoy the world.

Besides, she's more than familiar with Fuyuki at night. Rin folds her hands behind her back. She smiles silently as the grow closer to the station.]

[avaricious]

[That's fine. Whatever. It's not like he can't deck any fools who get too close even if he is invisible.

Besides. It'll save on the bus pass if she doesn't have to pay for him. But this doesn't stop him from deciding to kick an empty can in front of him as they walk. Because that's just the sort of thing Rin needs for normality is the sight of a can just bouncing on its own.]

[erbe]

[Rin huffs when she sees it. At least there's a small winter breeze to blame it on. But it's not so far into the night time that they can do what they please. The young mage shoots a look where she assumes he is based on how the can flew.

He can't be doing that! Especially not when they finally reach the bus stop, and she takes a seat on the bench to wait.]

[avaricious]

[The bus stop is mercifully empty at least, which gives Greed ample opportunity to take a seat as well right down next to her. Short of him actually carrying her on his back, this is the closest they've been to each other since his summoning.]

You know, you really are cute when you get all scowly like that.

[erbe]

[Tohsaka's frown deepens. She stares straight ahead on purpose just to avoid any strange looks from possible passersby.]

S—shut up. That's not relevant to anything.

[avaricious]

Sure it is. After all, when I get my wish, I might just want to keep you around afterwards.

[The Ruler of the World is gonna need someone by his side, after all.]

[erbe]

And who says I'm charmed enough to want to stick around?

[Now she looks at where his voice is coming from with a cocked brow.]
