WHO: Gawain & Ritsuka
WHEN: The Last day of Spring break
WHAT: Gawain gives his item to Ritsuka and they have a chat.

[ Memories of the last war he had been in have come to settle upon his mind clearly. What he makes of it is something that he will take as a notion needing to be learned, failure was not an option and with resentment of himself. Gawain addresses Ritsuka with a firm line of vindication with harsh expectations of himself. A Knight who tasks his attention to being cordial and around the other rather regularly. Perhaps, too much. As Gawain would be found near and always about the other. With a resolved face and a puppy dog-like smile the moment she would come out from wherever it were, she tided herself accordingly.

This would inevitably cause some form of question toward the Master. In present though Gawain felt it necessary, despite his interactions with the other members of the School. Trapped in this strange situation as himself, that ultimately he were not anything like them. For him even if these special friendships were earned and gained. Gawain ultimately would cast them aside if Ritsuka asked him to do so. Not that he knew or felt the woman were one to do as much, as they spoke. Gawian was certain that the individual he called now his Master. Albeit a Magus that were ordinary, had a strong heart. Potentially taxed by the stresses the world pushed against them. Meaning, the way that Gawain felt Ritsuka was like - less akin to Leo who needed to learn what it would mean to lose. More, akin to a woman who needed to know everything would be okay.

And although general, were that phrase as he glances along the trembling hands that were coarse and unlike hands suited for a woman ( Gawain's opinion ). The foundation of it still stayed the same in his mind, so he resigned himself to whatever whim Ritsuka would have of him. Accepted his failure in the direction of Leo and that perhaps, ultimately. Gawain was given another chance to stand beside someone with instruct direction, who may be no King or Queen. Yet someone, he felt he could trust to always do the right thing.

So why did he need this Lighter? It was just before Ritsuka would head to sleep for the night, he adjusts within room 2-A. Shuffling the lighter out of the pocket and handing it over to his Master. By name, not by contract. ]

I would see to it that you are given this, as it has no use to me. Master, I found this within the Library beside the Instant Mashed Potatoes within a book. It was strange, none-the-less. It’s peculiarity at the time, made me decide to take it along with me. As I am here to serve, this will find more use in your hands thand of mine.

[ Gawain looks upon the other rather in taut form, his shoulders do not lax. His eyes focused upon the woman before him, as she spoke with seeming resolve as to what to say. It occurs to him that she has thought this out - many times over before. Even if he had something to say against her, he would not. Respecting and taking from his masters words, was something he would hold over his own emotions or thoughts in any given day. Especially the way that he were. ]I

I see, am I to understand you are requesting that I enjoy my freedom more and help others with their ordeals? [ The Knight affirms that he could enjoy his life within these halls rather casually, but it wasn't as if he wouldn't take his status as servant seriously either. Merely that, Ritsuka before him were to give him another order - more or less. To live out more freely and affirm that the halls of this school were as much for him to roam as he. ]

Yes.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

You can be really thick sometimes, you know.

[Knights.]

Do you not fear for your safety good Master? I am not to question your thoughts on the matter, I merely wish to understand your view over the situation we are in. If it is of your wish to do as I please, then so be it. I will live freely with the other students, eager to learn and live this new life temporarily. [ A drawn pause thinking well of what is to come, and perhaps with the truth of a body lingering before them which has yet to come. Gawain can see why the other feels calm'd or without whim over the circumstances they are in. Plainly as it were, there was no need for concern. At the same time. Ritsuka - although experienced in battle and a number of things she has seen. That Gawain is unaware over - she is still not at an agreeable level of Battle Capacity. Especially one who states they are plainly a Magus. ]

Gawain, if you can only understand one thing about me, it needs to be this.

[Ritsuka claps him on the shoulder, looking him dead in the same eyes that have the capacity to kill hundreds of innocent people.

That was then. This is now.

But that doesn't change that's who he is.]

I am very, very good at running away.

[ Gawain claps the others shoulders back with equal vigor. ] Then I too will be very good at running away, Master!!!!

...Not the point, Gawain.

[Ritsuka's smile is caught between bemused and genuinely endeared.]

What I meant is that I can take care of myself for at least long enough for you to follow my panicked yelling back to where I need help.

Then if it is as you say My Master, I will trust you endearingly with that fact in mind. Until it is I can truly contract with you in full. You have my utmost loyalty and trust. [ Gawain raises his hand and firmly presses it upon his chest. ]

...thanks, Gawain.

You have no idea how much that means to me.

[Gawain's devotion is one of the greatest shields Ritsuka could have in Yogen.

Barring Mash's Around Round Shield.

God, she misses Mash.]

Indeed you are right, perhaps you could elaborate to me more about the Grail War we fought in now? We seem to have a bit of time to share with one another, I do believe some explanation could be salvageable in this moment? [ Gawain states plainly, hoping that maybe the conversation would shed light into the situation at hand. ]

Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooboy.

A few years ago, I was... forcefully recruited by an organization called Chaldea. They needed a clean forty-eight Masters for their program, and I apparently had the exact right genes for it. Not that I knew that at the time. I only found out magic was real when a traitor blew up the command room, I went inside to rescue a friend I'd met that day, and we both time traveled back to 2004.

Then it turned out that Servants existed, and she was a vessel for a Shielder, who turned out to be Galahad although I only learned that waaaaay later, and we had to recruit a bunch of Servants and keep hopping through time because it turned out a Beast set literally all of human history on fire and we had to fix it. I met you, Tristan, two versions of Lancelot, four separate incarnations of Artoria, and Agravain in passing—although, uh, I never contracted with him.

We eventually saved the world, and that was supposed to be the end of it, and...

...then it ended again a year later.

I feel there is more missing Master, I feel you should start from the beginning if you would be kind. [ Gawain offers a seat toward the other, and mun says oocly that its okay to just say 230942394 hours passed and she told him the story. ]

[She does indeed do that, but pauses before Camelot, collecting herself.]

Why do you pause? [ Gawain keeps noticing how she dances around the subject thusly. ]

The Sixth Singularity was... special, for a lot of reasons.

[Ritsuka takes a deep breath, running a hand through her hair.]

The grail was apparently supposed to go to some crusaders so they could actually win the crusades, but things were wildly off the rails by the time we got there.

Primarily because of your king.

Hm. [ Gawain pauses, in thought. ] Is this why you seem to freeze up when speaking to me about the matter? I imagine, I was a formidable foe - perhaps one even most hard to face for yourself?

That's... part of it.

...

Another part is that I saw your order the slaughter of hundreds refugees at the gates of the new Camelot she built.

[Ritsuka rubs her shoulder, sighing.]

Well, not you you. You're Gawain. He was Gawain. But you're different. I've worked with enough Servants who tried to kill me in different incarnations. I know that.

And the weird thing is, seeing you unflinchingly tell the Enforcement Knights to kill all those poor people...

It makes me confident that, no matter what, you're going to protect me while I'm here.
