streetwalkers | ROLESWAP AU MASTER POST

Of course. No one is perfect. At the very least, you only have your own point of view. I can offer a different perspective.

In other words, the grail might as well have given me a Servant with no will to fight.

[tiny, aspiring king needs none of your opinions]

Maybe. Maybe there will be things I can do that you can't. Maybe you'll need a second pair of eyes. You won't know until it happens.

I suppose I'll find out then.

[He lets Tokiomi go - he's bored again, and in no mood to keep arguing with a clearly unworthy servant. There are other things he could be doing, so he turns towards the door with a wave of his hand]

You're free to do as you wish in my home. Just promise you won't break anything or be a hindrance.

Of course.

[He shakes his hands out a bit, moving away from the magic circle. Being there makes him feel too much like he isn't human.]

That would be inelegant.

...Inelegant?

Unrefined. Crude.

Ah, I know what it means, but it's definitely strange word choice.

How so?

[TOHSAKAS ARE ELEGANT DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LOCAL RICH PEOPLE]

Well I didn't expect that every Tohsaka would be obsessed with that sort of old fashioned stuff. Guess I was wrong.

[h-huff!]

There's nothing wrong with old fashioned.

Maybe "old fashioned" works, but it makes people pretty stuffy and hard to be around!

[Harder than normal for Gil, at least. Sure, he could charm his way through any social function that demanded his presence, but it didn't make the feat any less insufferable.

But despite the comment, he parks himself against a bookcase to engage Tokiomi further. He doesn't want to argue, but it's a strange feeling, having someone who looks his age in the house -- having anyone at all in the house. Sure, there are maids and gardeners and dignitaries and couriers in and out of the estate, but they all leave in due time.

Gil had expected to summon a servant and then dismiss them -- now he's caught off guard and annoyed and intrigued by that development in equal parts]

If acting proper is hard to be around, that means you're not acting as you should yourself.

[but he does look a bit embarrassed -- he's feeling a bit old, suddenly]
