Can we aim for a level between 'roughed up' and 'dead', not inclusive? I have a worldhop arranged already.

I assume Diarmuid will absolutely refuse to have me come along, so I won't bother making the argument.

As you wish, Master. I will handle this myself.

[unknownrival]

I don't want you to go alone.

[croibhristeoir]

Do you doubt my abilities?

[unknownrival]

I would rather be more careful than necessary than risk you being hurt too badly. Can you fault me for caution?

[starofchaos]

I can have my demons guard you, if you wish to watch from a closer distance.

[This is so ridiculous.]

[unknownrival]

I don't need to watch. I just want him to think twice about threatening my loved ones again. ...However, it would be good for me to be there in case I need to help with a Command Spell.

[croibhristeoir]

Yes or no.

Do you doubt my ability to carry out my Master's will?

[text]

[unknownrival]

No.

[touchofgenius]

You're going to regret this.

[unknownrival]

Probably. Please don't get in the way.

[touchofgenius]

I'll make sure I don't get hurt, don't worry.

[unknownrival]

That won't happen if you try to get involved in the fight.

Excuse me?

[croibhristeoir]

Then please stop acting as though you do.

I can handle things myself.

The purpose of a Command Spell should be to help the Servant achieve feats that they cannot otherwise achieve. I can't do that unless I can see what I need to assist with, can I?

[unknownrival]

I'm not going to take the slightest amount of risk.

[croibhristeoir]

Master, I grow increasingly weary of such needless worry. I begin to wonder if you think I can even hold my own in a single fight.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Do you know anything about the enemy's capabilities?

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Do you know anything about mine? Do you have any confidence in me whatsoever, or will you plan for the worst before the fight even begins?

[action]

[unknownrival]

I always plan for the worst. If I don't and there was something more I could have done to help you, how will I ever forgive myself?

[touchofgenius]

Oh ye of little faith.

[unknownrival]

William, you were in a harem with them once, you have at least a passing familiarity with the people that are going to come by.

[croibhristeoir]

How can you possibly expect so little of me? If my Master asks me to win, then I will make sure it is impossible for me to lose. Ask me to survive and I will allow neither blade nor magic to so much as touch me. Tell me to return and I will destroy all that stands as an obstacle.

Do not assume that I can fail, least of all before the fight has even begun.

[unknownrival]

If determination and loyalty was all that was needed to gain a victory, then you would be king among heroes. I shall never doubt that you will do your utmost to return to my side, my love. That has never been in question...

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

And yet you still doubt that I will emerge victorious.
