DOES HE BELIEVE IN THE RED STRING OF FATE? Destiny could be considered a debacle at this point with the nature of their ordained meetings and the tragedy they behold, but if one were to ask her… there exists a reason for it all. Three realms traveled over the span of a mere lifetime ( aspects of it owed to them being Servants, surely ) and they persistently wind up in one another’s company.
No matter the location of her summons, her eyes always seek his red mantle. Pursues it, perhaps, despite the willful ignorance on his behalf. Yet, if she were to let her thoughts transpire and revel in fantasies, reunions would remain conceptualized; she has to give chase, and even here, in this fantasy world, she does as such and concedes upon him and a few straggling beasts.
“–It looked like you were in need of aid. My apologies for the intrusion.”
♐ ] Running away is nothing new to this man. Head on conflict has never been a strength of his, a statement that would remain true in this situation. It had taken but a moment to recognize features, to recall memories that were long forgotten. Yet there is no urgency within him to speak, no drive to re-familiarize with her. While happiness did spurt itself from ashes, in the same shade pain existed with.
It’s bittersweet. He’s hesitant to act. For one reason or another, he says nothing at first. Nothing but simple words. “Those aren’t the beasts, if your goal is what I think it is.” Recovering arrows he’d been reusing, some more worn than others would be unrecoverable as he lets out a sigh. “But, thanks regardless.” Trouble saved earns her that much, before he turns his back to. Certainly, he did not have the right words for at this time. Though it would seem neither did she. If nothing else, keeping within shouting distance was fine. Even if it was just silence shared, it was better than nothing at all. “You may as well accompany me. If our end goal is the same there is no reason not to join forces, correct?”
