He casually brushes the shattered glass off himself and tilts his head, questioning. He's not allowed to recall previous summonings, but he's fairly certain this isn't the first time he's made such a grand entrance.]
...what a mess.
[Mostly his fault. Still worth commenting on.]
Am I correct in assuming you're the one who called?
Observant and decisive. Those aren't bad qualities.
[He stands, toeing some of the destroyed glass and roof tiles aside.]
Though I have nothing to say for my entrance -- it seems something went awry with your summoning. If I had a choice, I would have preferred something less destructive.
[Kicks back. Waits. But gosh, this place really is a sty. Do they have a vacuum cleaner here? Certainly mages are the traditional type, but judging from his Master's dress, traditionalism isn't a prerequisite for becoming a Master.
For the better, Archer, thinks. That there could be a vacuum lying around, that is. He'll have to see to that later.]
...Yes. It appears one of the sigils was mirrored...
Nevertheless, the ritual isn't what controls the summoning. It's simply a trigger for the inevitable action of the Holy Grail. Even like this, it shouldn't necessarily have caused that kind of change.
[siiigh]
But it happened, so I guess theory doesn't matter.
I'll be to bed soon. I need to reevaluate our plans.
[To Archer, once she's excused herself:]
This partnership is dependent on your ability to follow orders, including fighting or not fighting according to a plan. If you're the egotistical type, you might want to consider that.
You may regard me as critical, if that will ease your mind. But I've assured you success, have I not? If your orders will do the same, then I have no reason to disobey.
In that case, we should be able to work together. For now we'll continue to make preparations. We'll leave for Japan when everything's secured. I suggest you spend the time between conserving mana and familiarizing yourself with the information we've already gathered.
[Oh. Well suddenly this whole arrangement is less ideal than he had assumed. Welp. Welp welp welp--
Hold it together Archer.
This certainly isn't the time to worry about this. Or react to this. Or think about it at all. After all, the chance of this Emiya Kiritsugu being the same man he knew is slim to none. One in a million, if not more. There are countless ways he could be different, and Archer would have no way of knowing, so confronting this bizarre turn of events in an emotional manner would be utterly pointless.
He can't change anything.
He is as he is now, and there's nothing to say there is or will be an Emiya Shirou to avert.
There's no option but to carry on as he would "normally."
Still - he may have turned on his heel faster than one would expect.]
Kiritsugu, then. I will do as you say and conserve my energy. Please consider doing so yourself.

That's correct. ...You've made an unconventional appearance.

...Regardless, our contract is made. There are no objections?

[Yep, pointing to the summoning circle. Over there. By the altar.]
If your summoning was correct, then I should have landed there, right?

Console yourself with the knowledge that I would make a very poor Lancer, if I must say so myself.
[And hey, he didn't want to put a hole in your roof, you didn't want him to be Archer, he considers this deal perfectly square now]
And despite the surprising circumstances, I can guarantee you victory in the fights to come, Master. You will be thankful for this mistake.
