she had been wondering for some time when a situation like this would arise. it wasn’t uncommon for Servants to be from a completely different time, or different all together. she has ran into many during her quest to save humanity that, while she knew from one Singularity, had no memory of her in the other or never met her at all. the common thread was that they felt like she was to be trusted. that she meant them no harm. and even if she no longer was back in her world, even here, it was only a matter of time until the situation arose.
contrary to the serious expression Achilles wore, Ritsuka’s was one of peace, paired with a soft smile. humming quietly, her eyes slide shut as she clasps her hands behind her back.
“ We have. It was to stop someone named Darnic, who had fused himself with the Great Holy Grail. You weren’t the only one. There were other servants who helped– I knew of them, but they didn’t know me. I guess it was because they were from your time– your Holy Grail War…Red and Black is what they were grouped under, if I’m remembering right.”
sighing softly, she opens her eyes, smile still present as her gaze focuses on the Servant. “ You all helped me stop him to let go of his dream and rest. “
As she recounted her experiences with him, a sort of calm washed over the Servant, easing whatever reservations he had with this mage. Mages were, at their core, ruthless beings when it came to their craft but Chaldea’s last Master was different. Despite having no memory whatsoever of her being present during the Great Holy Grail, he didn’t feel like she was lying at all. He felt no deceit, no animosity and no malice whatsoever.
Very few could ever win over his trust with just words alone, but this mage could count herself lucky for as soon as she finished speaking, Achilles found himself content in her presence. Just like that, he smiled.
“I see. Then we have no problems, Chaldea’s last Master. I still don’t understand how, but I do feel like you’re trustworthy, so I’ll follow my gut.” The taller male then reached out, placing a hand over the mage’s head before giving her a brotherly patting. “I’m yet unsure if I’ll ever form a contract with you now, but know that my spear is yours to use. If you ever need aid, you’ll have Greece’s ultimate hero by your side in an instant.”
