WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.

And fucking gentle.

[unhappymeal]

Gentle isn't strictly necessary.

[tracings]

Don't tell him that now!

[unhappymeal]

[shrugs!!] Pain might be a deterrent to rash behavior.

[tracings]

I never did anything rash. We were in the wrong place, that's it.

[plotarmor]

...also I think it's going to hurt no matter what.

[yep, going to start bandaging archer up and making sure that shit doesn't start bleeding again.

this involves pressure and thus pain.]

[unhappymeal]

You're choosing to make that kind of enemy. They're the kind of person you should only get involved with if you have a plan for dealing with them.

[tracings]

....Oops?

[unhappymeal]

[siiigh I'm getting some coffee, even though the boat is lurching a bit as it gets going]

I still don't understand why you decided to bring him home in the first place.

1/2

[plotarmor]

Well we couldn't--

[He pauses to grab for the first aid kit and keep everything from rolling to the floor]

--just leave him!

[tracings]

[Instinctively he tries to move and grab at the kit too, except that still sort of hurts, and he hisses, laying back again with a thud]

...and ultimately he might kill Shirou, so he has some utility still.

[unhappymeal]

[Shirou gets help picking up anything that fell.

Archer gets a flat glare.]

Is that necessary?

1/2

[tracings]

You wanted reasons.

[Really, he'd rather not delve into his annoyance at Diarmuid's attempted self sacrifice or the sense of guilt he'd feel if he ever allowed a crazy person to just kick the bucket - especially when your friend is pretty into said crazy person]

[plotarmor]

He just didn't want anyone to die either.

[unhappymeal]

Sometimes it's necessary. How many people do you think he's killed? How many will die if he gets out of control again? If something happens to Cu, it'd be a disaster.

[plotarmor]

Then we make sure nothing happens to Cu! Archer does that much already, so if we're that much more careful it'll be fine. And anyways, Diarmuid deserves a chance, right?

[oh my god will you shut up you're ruining everything]

[unhappymeal]

[ugh Shirou why are you so good natured and dumb]

It's not that easy when you're actively being hunted down. I can't be here all the time to back you up.

[plotarmor]

You won't have to be!

I won't be like--

[Ah, well, it won't be like Kirei, is what he means to promise, but he's still rather sore over that whole incident and gathers no one really wants to be reminded]

It won't be a problem...

[tracings]

[...well. Archer would like to disagree, but he can't, really. It's dumb, but it's what he had in mind, too.




...god that's a scary thought.]

[unhappymeal]

[frownsss]

You'd be doing more for yourselves and the greater good by putting him out of his misery.

[And yet Kerry hasn't sniped D himself yet for some reason. Maybe he just doesn't want to see the looks on their faces if he did.]

[tracings]

Isn't that your area of expertise? I don't think either of us could stop you if you thought that was the best course of action.

[unhappymeal]

I might.

[plotarmor]

Don't! You can't! Not when he's getting better...!

[Kerry he hates having to argue with you. :((( Look at him, tying off Archer's bandages and looking all concerned. PLEASE DON'T BE MAD U R HERO OK WE WILL FIX THINGS AND U CAN HERO OTHER PEOPLE.]

[unhappymeal]

[sharp look!! boy u shut it]

Shirou.

[...but siiighs and hair ruffles]

Listen. It's not possible to save everyone in this world. Sometimes you have to make difficult choices.
