[ There sure is someone conveniently nearby! Someone who is looking a little dismayed as she rummages through a bush, muttering to herself about... dragon fangs.
It's fine, probably, because she's glancing up and-- ]
... Whoa! Did you just appear out of thin air? That was completely silent...
Exactly! There are many layers to this sort of thing, you know? If you just follow the stereotypes, then people will be able to spot you far more easily than if you were actually standing out.
If they're here, then they're most likely helping as well.
[ that's the kind of people they are
... although if they are not here then he is not entirely sure how to find them on his own. the saniwa would probably have to send a search party for him and who knows how long that'll take. ]
[ Huh. He's oddly graceful, but she's so used to Servants who make movement look like dancing that she's not even going to question it. ]
Okay, follow me.
[ With a brisk walk in her step, no less. ]
I'm-- what's called a Master. I can summon Heroic Spirits and offer them my energy to have them fight with me, more or less. Otherwise, I'm just your basic boring human.
[ he tilts his head at that, curious. so, she's a saniwa then?
... or something like it? the terminology she's been using is different, and while that doesn't seem too important, tsuru notices those kinds of things. ]
I can't do much, on my own. I can't even fight. The best I can do is support and strengthen the Servants who feel like I'm someone worth fighting for, and someone like me being the one to try and save humanity from destruction was just kind of like a big cosmic accident in the first place.
he's going to have to report this later, but for now... ]
I'd call that very brave. You're still putting yourself out there and at risk, you know! If it weren't for people like you, who knows where the rest of us would be?

[ he laughs, because he has no idea if she actually saw him appear or not. it's fine. but also, he quickly moves on. ]
I've been told that I am almost like a ninja in how great I am at sneaking.

[ Just. Saying. ]

Should we be serious now? I'll put on my serious face.

no subject
[ there's a pause, like he just realized something ]
Where are we?
no subject
[ With the sweetest smile. ]
no subject
[ what the fuck is a babylonia
but he's nodding ]
no subject
[ He's... not a lost Servant or something, is he? ]
no subject
[ he taps his chin
that doesn't answer her question ]
no subject
[ Because that's most everyone's job right now. ]
no subject
[ which isn't a lie!! because if it was a more urgent mission tsuru would be a lot more concerned than he is right now ]
no subject
I guess with the monsters attacking, that'd make it hard, huh?
[ Surely he knows!! ]
no subject
he taps his chin, and then nods. ]
That kind of things do make things difficult. Is that what you're currently dealing with at the moment then? Fighting monsters?
no subject
[ All of that was an understatement. ]
no subject
[ he has decided this ]
no subject
-- Wait, what about finding your friends?
no subject
[ that's the kind of people they are
... although if they are not here then he is not entirely sure how to find them on his own. the saniwa would probably have to send a search party for him and who knows how long that'll take. ]

[ She... sticks out her hand?? ]
My name's Ritsuka! Fujimaru Ritsuka. Thank you for your help!
no subject
and then takes her hand to shake. it is a very vigorous shake. ]
Tsurumaru Kuninaga. It's a pleasure.
no subject
[ She says this lightly like she isn't wiped from fending them off already. ]
no subject
[ he bows. it's an actual graceful one, and when he straightens up again after, there's a smile. ]
Lead the way.
no subject
Okay, follow me.

That doesn't sound very boring at all.

But--! I'm still going to try my best!

no subject
Extinct, apparently! [ With a laugh that doesn't accurately sum up how actually legitimately terrifying that is for her. ]
But thanks, Tsurumaru-san! You're very sweet for a ninja I just met.
no subject
[ apparently! he assumes! ]
It helps us work better.
no subject
[ She does indeed know ninjas. ]
no subject
[ that's debatable ]
So this ultra charming ninja is under your care.
no subject
[ But he's not a Servant, so. Hm. ]
no subject
[ he has
no idea how similar her thing is to how the saniwa's powers works, but he is rather interested to find out ]
