( closed ) and so i ask of thee, are you my master?

[peopledieifkilled]

[ It had been a few days since he had summoned his Servant, and he still couldn't help but be rather surprised by the situation as a whole. Besides, Shirou didn't really understand it all honestly - regardless of the fact that both Tohsaka and that fake priest's explanations.

Early in the morning, he decides to cook up some breakfast for her. It's the least he can do, after all. For breakfast, he starts with some miso soup, rice and salmon. He won't wake her up, or at least, he'll try not to, since he wants her to have as much rest as she possible can-- seeing as he didn't make a proper contract with her.

Though he'll definitely go to check on her if the food almost gets cold.. ]

Really?

[ He hums inquisitively to himself, mulling things over in his head. He didn't know much about pumpkins, but to see that they're used in such a way... it piques his interest quite a bit. ]

"Potential vessels for escape"? You mean like that one story..? [ Is he going to become Cinderella at some point? ]

[frozenflame]

[Caster laughs brightly, hand squeezing his as he seems to understand!]

Stories have power, Master. Why, that's what Servants are, after all. And while that one isn't my story, it's one I know, and one I can draw upon for inspiration.

[peopledieifkilled]

I didn't know. [ Well, at least he's learning? That's a good sign, right? ]

[frozenflame]

Well, you know now, don't you?

[She laughs, a giggly snort of a thing.]

Just don't expect me to wear any glass slippers, alright?

[peopledieifkilled]

I guess so.

[ That's... a strange laugh. ]

And I wouldn't expect you to.

[frozenflame]

Good!

[The laughter dies after a minute and they round a corner to find a large garden center. A Komeri Home Center, in fact. Complete with a chicken sign.]

Goodness! It smells of springtime, doesn't it? All those flowers!

[peopledieifkilled]

Well, it's only February. [ So it's nearing spring, but not quite. ]

There really are a lot of flowers in this store though...

[ He's never actually been in here, since he's never had to. ]

[frozenflame]

Well what are we waiting for? Let's go.

[She practically tugs him along, clearly excited. Flowers are wonderful. They're her life. Or...were.]

It's only early afternoon, so we don't have to worry. And my powers will make them grow by nightfall anyway. So we'll end up safe and sound.

[peopledieifkilled]

Alright. We'll need to get the plants... and then we'll have lunch.

[frozenflame]

That sounds like a plan. Shall we split up and meet back up? I can give you a short list, and it would save time.

Or would you rather keep me close?

[peopledieifkilled]

[ That last part... sounded eerily suggestive, so he's not going to go there. ]

No, it's better to save time than to waste it.

[frozenflame]

Then I'll see you in...twenty minutes?

[She writes out a small list for him, mostly of things like soil, fertilizer, pots, and a watering can before zooming off...]

[peopledieifkilled]

Yeah. I'll meet you back where we came in. [ Thankfully, Shirou knows his way around and knows how to get the good deals. Once he has all the plants and all the food for dinner tonight, carrying at least four to five bags in one hand, he slowly makes his way back. Hopefully Yukiko's done by now. . . ]

[frozenflame]

[Conveniently, (and truthfully the mun knows from RL) Komeri stocks groceries as well as garden things and hardware. CasterKiko shows up about five minutes late with a huge basket filled with seed packets. Filled and overflowing. Her eyes scroll down the receipt and she beams at him.]

I think I have everything. And it wasn't too expensive. There was a sale.

[peopledieifkilled]

That's good. I managed to get tonight's dinner as well, so I think we're all set. You want to have lunch now, Yukiko? [ Or they could go home and drop these off but if they do that they're not going out again most likely.

Until evening, anyway. ]

[frozenflame]

Um. Sure, we can do that.

[She's largely ambivalent about food.]

It is energy, after all. And sunlight!

[peopledieifkilled]

Yeah, of course. We'll have to figure out a good place, though...

[ Since he usually doesn't eat out, most of the time. Cooking food for himself saved so much more money. ]

[frozenflame]

[She looks down the street and points to a sign. It's...basically the Japanese food equivalent of McDonalds.]

How about there?

[She doesn't know better...]

[peopledieifkilled]

Definitely not there.

[ Emiya Shirou grumbles at the fact that anybody would consider going to a McDonald's at all in the slightest. It makes him shudder, really... ]

Hmm. [ He takes several glances around before finding a cafe-- ] Ah, here's a good place.

[frozenflame]

What's...wrong with that place?

[She seems extremely confused, but follows.]

How is this different? It's still a restaurant?

[peopledieifkilled]

The place you pointed out only has fast food.

[ Don't even start. He's not eating fast food. He's not doing such a horrendous thing. ]

I honestly prefer something more proper. [ Once they're inside, he tells the waiter that there's two of them so he can get some seats. ]

[frozenflame]

Oh. Okay then. It all smells the same anyway, at least to me.

[And that seems to settle it. Harsh, Shirou.]

What sort of food is served here?

[peopledieifkilled]

[ "It smells all the same to me". ... do you really want to go there, Yukiko? DO YOU? ]

Mostly European food, it seems. Hopefully it's not too expensive.

[frozenflame]

I hope not too. We already spent a lot of money.

[A beat.]

Though I could make more if we really need it.

[peopledieifkilled]

Well, I have a job so I shouldn't be in a pinch-- and if I am, I can always ask Fuji-nee for help.
