"S-"

He's instantly cut off. Though, the flashing in her eyes..maybe she isn't lying after all. Giving a nod, Sakura lets out a soft sigh.

"I..see. Then that's why..your eyes keep flashing.."

"N-nee-san?!"

His eyes widened, the sudden change in tone of voice being a slight surprise to him. Control?? Just what did his older sister mean by that??

"Wh-what're you talking about? Despicable..who..?"

"I-is that so..?"

A sigh escapes him, before he nods, pulling away as he eventually continues walking. He seems more relieved than anything.

"That's good...I wouldn't want to see my Senpai being injured all that badly."

"Nee-san.."

He softly says, shaking his head. He knows well enough to know that this isn't the usual - not in the slightest. His expression softens before he speaks again.

"Are you sure..? There's things that say the complete opposite of that.."

"B-banged your head?! Senpai, we need to get that checked!"

Quickly stopping in his tracks, he turns to see if there's any damages on Shirou's head, very clear concern on his features. Soft mumbles escape him as he does so.

"You're so clumsy sometimes.."

He gently nods, before an eyebrow raises. That flicker in her eyes, even if it was for a second, didn't go un-noticed. He's not dumb, he can tell something isn't right.

"I see..nee-san, is something wrong..? The air around you is..different today."

Been on and off, but..mostly okay! Even with the weird situations in the world..

With the sudden sleeve tug, his curiosity is piqued. eyes narrowing only slightly, he shakes his head to dismiss the gesture. Shouldn't be too much of a big deal.

"Friends..yes, of course. But..why ask? Did something strange happen, Senpai?"

"I've been doing well! nothing much going on around here, in all honesty..but it's fine! I've found ways to entertain myself!"

He gently shakes his head in mock disbelief, expression softening slightly. He noticeably relaxes, and after a bit of thinking, Sakura takes Shirou's arm into his own.

"Ah..yes, of course, Senpai! It's been a long day today, anyway."

He mumbles, before sighing.

"I forgive you though. eheh.."

"Oh, Nee-san! Good to see you too!"

"You..seem to be mistaken, Senpai. I'm no girl anymore."

That doesn't leave him. Something must've been wrong - off even - yet he can't tell what. His eyes study the other man with an intensity bordering on panicked.

"But..no. I'm fine. For the most part. Why ask?"

Another head tilt.

His smile quickly fades as soon as he heard those words - 'beautiful girl.' Something he hadn't expected to be called in..who knows how long.

"Girl..?"

He mimics, voice filled with something akin to confusion. Maybe even possibly horror as well. He tenses, only ever so slightly. -

"Thank you.."

He softly says after rising up. With his hands resting in front of him, he can't help but tilt his head again, curiosity getting to him.

"Is something the matter..? It's a bit late to be out, don't you think..?"

His eyes widen as soon as the man emerges. He should've known - but never the less, he stays wary. After composing himself once again, he nods, a gentle smile of his own gracing his features.

"Senpai..I see. It's just you."

He exhales softly, before giving a bow, a bow of respect. -

Aha..truly!

It's good to see you too, Saber. Things been well...?

Yep! It's me!!

his daze. Though...as the wind breezes against him, he feels a sudden presence. His gaze flicking over before his body fully turns, he almost assumes it was paranoia that struck him.

Almost.

"...is anyone there?"

He asks, even with knowing the answer.

A gentle hum escapes the man. He sighs, gazing up into the city sky with eyes that told everything. It'd be a while before he can finally find himself to be at full confidence again -- but no matter.

"mm..."

He only manages to bring focus to what's in front of him yet again when he snaps out of -

Been a bit..

He nods, though perking up from curiosity at the mention of said servings. He smiles, nodding as he decides to help himself.

"Ah, I am starving..of course he would make enough for everyone, hehe."

With the sudden seriousness, his own expression darkens. Yet he shakes his head, luckily.

"Not exactly. He's...been away for a while."

He nods, listening closely. He lets out a soft hum, giving a final nod.

"I see..that's good, then. Senpai and nee-san have been good, too? Phew..I was a bit worried, but good to know!"

"Oh, Saber..?"

He perks, before smiling.

"I'm well! I suppose you are too?"
