I'm debating the exact effects of this artifact.

[counterfaith]

[ waits patiently for him to extrapolate, still not letting go. he hasn't even stopped leaning on him ]

[despairorhope]

I've never been a Servant in this form. Even so, I most certainly still am. Though, the binding on me feels weaker.

[counterfaith]

In a troublesome way?

[despairorhope]

Perhaps. I'm not sure, yet.

[counterfaith]

Would you like to get some exercise? I am laughably inferior as a Servant, but if you'd like something to test your abilities against, it would be prudent to do so now before we do anything else.

[despairorhope]

My skills themselves should be unchanged, logically. I wasn't weaker like this. If anything I was stronger.

[counterfaith]

But the connection feels weaker, correct?

[despairorhope]

[CONSIDERING...] No. It seems that I'm simply more easily sidetracked.

[counterfaith]

Attention span difficulties? . . . No, should I say inconveniences? That's an unusual change.

[despairorhope]

Rather, I'm taking much more into account.

[counterfaith]

. . . There was more you could take into account. . . ? [ very light teasing tone ]

[despairorhope]

[elbows him gently, but seems charmed like noticeably] Some.

[counterfaith]

[ HEH ] Don't overwork yourself, Ruler.

[despairorhope]

I promise nothing.

[counterfaith]

If you do, I'll support you. But please, don't make my life too difficult. In any case, I am curious now, but would it be prying too much to ask what else you're noticing?

[despairorhope]

It's... [a little awkwardly.] My own feelings on things, mostly.

[counterfaith]

[ . . . ] . . . [ . . . ] Ah. [ wow that's awkward ]

[despairorhope]

Not that I was entirely out of touch with that before.

[counterfaith]

[ sure jan ] Of course. [ hum ] It isn't bad to be aware of such things, so long as it doesn't become . . . preoccupying.

[despairorhope]

I'll take care.

[counterfaith]

Of course, I expect that from you. [ finally getting up, releasing his arm ] Do you need a few more moments? [ around this time, the hatchling hops back up, crawling on shirou's now loosely fit pants to cling onto his back ]

[despairorhope]

No, I'm pretty much together now. [and reaching out to pet tinyderg offhandedly.]

[counterfaith]

Very well, should we . . . [ oh there's a familiar ping of human somewhere ]
