[OPEN] what can I say?
Who: Hakuno and you
When: From the day after they leave the forest up until November 19
Where: All over the map
What: In the wake of the infection, Hakuno returns to her true calling: fetchquests.
Rating: G until one of you heathens spoils it
i. partners in crime
[The pair of bandits who at one point operated under the pseudonyms of Augustine and Chacon, according to the locals, are reportedly masters of disguise. Hakuno isn't entirely certain how well they can disguise their matagot, but she's determined to do her best, all the same. Chróma algae isn't exactly something they can afford to just overlook at this point.
As a King, it stings bitterly that she can't help the other Heroes in need.
So what she can do, she will.]
Where to start...
ii. the good egg
[Gisela is beautiful.
Hakuno keenly feels that, every time she comes here. Vietnam's inn is definitely where she'll make a pit stop after fulfilling her task, but right now she has stopped and settled at the edge of a copse of trees, a homemade lunch spread out over her lap. Before she has to deal with literally petrifying bird crap, she's going to enjoy the scenery.
And her food. She might even share, if you feel like asking.]
iii. heart of stone
...
[Hakuno isn't exactly thrilled to be back in the thick of a forest, all things considered. But, all things considered, she's not one to put her own comfort above the necessities of others. Really, she's dealt with worse, so there isn't even a hitch in her stride as she wanders around.
After a while, she has to stop, if only because blindly looking is obviously not the best method.]
...I'm not really in a laughing mood, honestly. I don't suppose you know any jokes?
iv. the number one fan
“There once was a beautiful mermaid princess who had just reached her fifteenth year. She rescued a prince from the stormy sea and fell in love with him at first sight. But he was a person of the land."
[If you thought Hakuno Kishinami would pass up a chance to talk about the tales of Hans Christen Andersen, you're a fool and a charlatan. She recites the story slowly, easily, as if the words are before her as clear as day. There's a melancholy air about her, which may or may not have to do with the story itself.]
"The princess hurriedly made a deal with a sea witch, and received legs in exchange for her beautiful voice. Even still, her beloved prince went on to marry another girl. How pitifully the little mermaid princess cried. Her fate, to transform into sea foam and disappear if her love went unrealized —”
[She had picked this story out first, when she first heard Andersen's name. She wonders now if some part of her knew the same ending would be waiting for her, in the end.
She sighs faintly, inspecting the fruit she earned.]
..."the immortal masterpiece," I called it once, I think. It's a story of unrewarded love. Would you believe its author nearly called it a comedy when I talked to him about it?
wildcard
[If there's another scenario you want, just let me know! I'm always up for basically anything.]

no subject
[Sorry, Hakuno. Blame his culture.]
But if it is as you say, you are surely more invested in these relations than I would expect.
no subject
[...there's a soft, almost-alarm beginning to sound in her head.]
It really surprises you that much?
no subject
[He's not poking fun; it's a frank observation.]
Even for your charitable personality, it is unusual.
no subject
no subject
[His lips quirk into a mischievous smile as he now envelopes her with his arms. There's no threat in it, of course, but sometimes his playfulness can toe the line of outright cruelty. He's not a soft man, even in softer moments such as these.]
For you can only rely on my charity to keep him safe. I suspect it was the same from whence you came, girl.
no subject
[Hakuno shakes her head, her hair mussing with the motion.]
You didn't face him back in the Elimination Round—that was Berserker, and the Saber I can't remember—but on the Far Side, he was forcibly salvaged and used as an underling by our enemy. He betrayed them in the end, and his last request was to be fought and killed before... I guess you could call it a ' poison,' corrupted him. Of course, the one here has no memory of that, or anything past the second week of the Holy Grail War...
[But Hakuno does.]
no subject
[This just got interesting.]
no subject
[Maybe not quite as interesting as he might have hoped.]
I mean, back then I was more desperate to learn about my Saber, so you being the Servant I used to strike him down the... third time? Maybe? ...either way, it didn't exactly steal the limelight.
no subject
It might qualify as sensitive information. Some Heroes are more delicate than the rest regarding their deaths.
no subject
[...though, maybe a bit less delicate these days, given that Gilgamesh managed to learn his name.]
But, I'm glad this time worked out better than the first. You're basically everything he's predisposed to hate, so I was worried.
no subject
[Sparkling intensifies.]
no subject
[Unfortunately, Hakuno's entirely unaffected.]
no subject
He just rolls over lazily and takes her with him and that's the end of that discussion.]
Perhaps I should abuse you more, then. You take it so well.
no subject
[Sadly, that's... the only 'abuse' she can really think that she's taken from him. his tantrums and whims are just par for the course for her, at this point.]
no subject
That is less a matter of abuse and more a matter of betrayal.
no subject
[She feels him go tense, and after a brief beat of uncertainty, she properly returns his embrace and nestles close.]
...what other ways have you abused me that I'm not remembering?
no subject
[What a troublesome child, truly.]
She simply smiled at me and told me to get it over with, as if she knew it all along.
no subject
[What a troublesome Servant. Yet again, Hakuno feels respect for Caren swell up within her.]
no subject
[He doesn't want to admit her observation is right on the money and had effectively sucked all the suspense out of the situation.]
Women obstinate enough to hold my reins... are seriously the worst.
no subject
[She pats his back, loosening her arms a little.]
If it really bothered you that much, you would have destroyed Sen, butchered Caren, and driven me off by now.
no subject
[His arm loosens, too, so that he might place his fingers upon her face.]
And you, who seen through to the core of me, could not be deceived regardless.
no subject
[She lets her eyes feather shut, sighing.]
Really, you're such a hassle.
no subject
Mm. As are you, so I may as well toss you overboard and be done with it.
no subject
If you were that fed up, you'd just cut ties entirely. At least until you got jealous over something silly.
