[Under the cover of his hood, Archer regarded the device recording him. He wasn't entirely sure of the scope of the camera's view and ability to pan, though--so, he didn't notice that in the immediate background, a number of sapling trees could be seen readily. Sweat ran down his cheeks and to his neck visibly, liking from using his 'Growth' ability to the point of numbing half his body to get those saplings as far as he could. The trees themselves looked fairly generic, but they were the basis for Yew Trees--which were wholly famous for being used to manufacture poison and in a small way, provided edible fruit with some caution. There were roughly a dozen variations of the trees present in Sigyn's courtyard, now.

He found himself unable to stand for the moment, falling onto his ass before he could get a word out. To his own luck, the hood stayed planted low enough to keep his eyes unseen.]

...Shit. I forgot what I was going to say, just now.

You look really tired.

[Stating the obvious. Just because.]

That's what one gets for exercising.

Y'know, in return for being healthy, you have to have to put in effort...

You could just stand under the sun a little. [No Lycoris, that's for plants.]

-- What's that behind you?

Hmn. [The grunt he let out was a pained display of exertion. Using a day's worth of magical energy to turn seeds into saplings was, essentially, more tiresome than running for hours on end.]

Looks like some trees to me.

Oh well thank you this has been a good waste of time then.

Heh. If that's what you've got to say, it must be a self-perpetuating waste of time.

[Oh, now there's a voice Saber actually recognizes! As she lounges on the couch she had claimed for herself, she regards the other Servant with an amused smile.]

Oh, never did I think I would see you in such an undignified state, Faceless King.

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

Yes it is I love nothing more than seeing minutes tick uselessly by.

[In an instant, Archer's previously good mood plummets.]

[A Servant that he doesn't know, clearly--who knows him more than one would expect.]

Great. This is the last thing I wanted.

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

Well, we haven't quite hit the minute mark, yet...

Want to aim for it?

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

With all my heart.

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

So, aside from exercises in meaningless gambles--what prompted you to speak to me?

[She's completely unaware that he does not recognize her, and continues to address them as if they had known each other for a while.]

Why the displeased look upon your face, Archer? Surely even though you've fallen to my sword, I'd expect you to at least have enough dignity to not be a sore loser.

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

Nothing did. I'm not speaking to you.

[ YEAH HE'LL BE THAT PETTY. you found a real winner here ]

Video

[unenlightening.livejournal.com]

I mean the saplings. You know what they are?

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

[TIME FOR A PETTY-OFF??

WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR LUNCH??]

Ruling on a technicality? Do you know what a conversation is?

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

You can enlighten me if you like that would be a good waste of more time.

[It confirmed a few suspicions of his, at least. He didn't like the look of his master and his first few commands. Overall, Archer was convinced that he was running his way towards an inevitable loss with someone that suggested he fight 'fairly'.]

Brag all you want, lady. If you really do know 'me', then you should expect this kind of shut-down. [He disconnected his end of the feed, knowing better than to fall to taunts when at a complete disadvantage of knowledge.]

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

Man, I shouldn't be enjoying myself taunting someone in this kind of place.

It'll be a waste of effort that I'd rather spend at a better time.

Video

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

No clue, miss. I'm not exactly the woodsy type. [He was a liar, though.]

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

And yet here you are.

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

All I've got to do is stop having fun.

Don't think that'll be too tough to pull off.

Video

[unenlightening.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[She's kind of disappointed. Where are the people who know plants, man.]

Say, where are you now?

[bearswitness.livejournal.com]

Get to it then I'd hate to think you were wasting happiness on any of this at my expense.

[grave-of-roots.livejournal.com]

What, you think it's just something I can turn off and on?

[Wait, shit.]
