That's what happens when you just throw it away. Maybe a moose ate it.

[He's joking, but it's obviously pretty half-hearted.]

[backspacing]

[Yeah, she can feel that.]

I have backup phones, but my save files are on that one.

[She doesn't want to lose her precious fate waifus]

[diesifkilled]

I'll try to look for it.

[Said automatically, because it's not like he can not help.]

But it probably won't be easy to find.

[backspacing]

Probably not. I wouldn't be surprised if a camper picked it up.

[They better stay out of her personal pictures.]

[diesifkilled]

[NNNNNOT SAYING ANYTHING. HAHA HE DEFINITELY DOESN'T KNOW WHO HAS THE PHONE HAHA]

...Anyway, how are you doing.

[sMOOTH]

[Did you like that pic of Archer, Shirou?]

I'm as well as can be expected, I suppose. But what about you?

[diesifkilled]

[He really did not like that pic. At all.]

I'm... as fine as anyone can be right now.

[lol no he's not]

[backspacing]

[Yeah he doesn't look alright at all. Red's normally-neutral face falters a bit.]

It's alright to be upset. Yesterday was pretty upsetting.

[diesifkilled]

Ah.

[Well.]

How should I put it? I think if I let myself be upset now, I won't be able to pick myself up again. So I'm just trying not to think about it.

[backspacing]

That is...a good way to look at it, I suppose.

[diesifkilled]

Mmh.

[That's... all he can really say about that. WHAT ARE FEELINGS WE JUST DON'T KNOW]

Hey, by the way. You're close with Archer, right? Do you know which Heroic Spirit he is?

[backspacing]

[That. Gets her to pause mid-bite.

She chews on it thoughtfully and swallows before responding.]

I do.

He told me not to tell you, by the way.

[diesifkilled]

Right. I guess he would.

It doesn't really matter, I was just curious.

[backspacing]

That's supposed to be a big secret in your world anyway isn't it?

[diesifkilled]

Yeah, generally. It's pretty inconvenient for Servants if people know all their strengths and weaknesses.

I just wanted to know if you knew, that's all.

[backspacing]

He never spoke in great detail about his life before becoming a servant. It seemed like a painful topic to him. But I know his true name.

[diesifkilled]

It's kind of obvious when you really think about it. I just...

[He sighs and runs a hand across his face.]

Forget about it. I don't know why I even brought that guy up to begin with. Let's talk about something else.

[backspacing]

[Red looks a little confused by that, but she will go along with it.]

...alright. What did you want to talk about?

[diesifkilled]

Uh.

[shit think of something quick]

Is. There something you want to talk about?

[NAILED IT]

[backspacing]

[...]

You found out Archer's identity somehow and it's bothering you, isn't it?

[She's the observant type, sorry.]

[diesifkilled]

[...]

Of course it's bothering me.

[backspacing]

...

[There's no non-awkward way to talk about this, is there?]


If you would like, I can arrange a time for the two of you to speak about it?

[diesifkilled]

I really don't think that would be a good idea. He hates me as much as I hate him.

[Which. Probably says a lot about the whole situation with them.]

[backspacing]

[IT. IT REALLY DOES.]

If you are certain. But if you change your mind later, let me know.

[diesifkilled]

Thanks, but I can't imagine ever wanting to hear anything he's got to say.
