T-That's still too far ahead in the future for me to think about!

[But she's probably blushing even though she's trying not to because a future!! With Senpai!!!! Having a child together and raising them and BASICALLY THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR HER TO THINK ABOUT, SHE'S TOO HAPPY!]

[swordboning]

What? Were you still living a happy idealistic life in your teens, knowing that you have a future you need to plan for? Or did you just assume that you'd simply have this pseudo-relationship with Shirou until the end of time? One of you is going to have to step up and say something.

[springful]

I think our relationship is fine the way it is right now.

[Like okay sure there's things they could work on like them ACTUALLY TELLING EACH OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS, but he actually calls her his girlfriend!! This is already amazing to her!! Basically she needs to raise her standards a bit.....]

[swordboning]

I think you're wrong. Not only are you wrong but you need to raise your standards. Shirou is the type to languish if you don't push him. Without a goal, he'll never progress in life.

[It's not like she thinks that Archer is wrong, (and how can he be when he's talking about himself tbh) but she doesn't even know if she can. Blah blah insert SHE TOOK AWAY HIS ORIGINAL GOALS DOES SHE HAVE THE RIGHT TO!! shit but not to mention that she's just about as aimless as he is. How is she supposed to raise her standards when they're both okay with things atm........]

... Even if you tell me that, I don't know if I can give him a goal.

[swordboning]

That's defeatism I hear talking. It sounds to be like you don't want to think of something to give him, as if something is holding you back.

[springful]

That's not true! [... Okay, that's at least partially true. BUT STILL.] ... But what could I possibly give? I've already taken so much from him.

[swordboning]

I can think of a few things. And if I can, you certainly can.

[springful]

And I take it you won't be sharing any of those?

[swordboning]

If I did, would you listen?

[springful]

I would. [For once...] But if this is really something I can do for Senpai, I think it would be better to come up with an answer on my own.

[swordboning]

Teach him the basics of magic. He has no foundation for anything he does, which is why his projections fail. Have him pick up history books, read, and study so next time he decides to come at me for whatever reason, his weapons aren't failures.

If he balks, tell him he can't possibly protect you as it is and it's embarrassing to rely on someone else.

[springful]

I'd rather he not go after you to begin with... [The senpais are supposed to not fight anymore right? RIGHT?!] While I think I'll tell him in a different way, this is a good idea. If he can strengthen his projections, he'll be able to better protect himself too.

[Still worried about him more in the end... But she'd never say it's embarrassing to rely on him!! That's codependency for you.]
