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.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
You can be really thick sometimes, you know.

[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.

[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.

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.]

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.

[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.

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.
