[Kariya may be one of the newly-minted masters of this new town, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in immediately conjuring hundreds of things into existence. He's had quite enough of magic for one lifetime, quite honestly. And while his body is still ravaged from the Crest Worms, he scarcely seems to notice the scars and the limp - his body seems lighter and freer than ever as he strolls through the fledgeling town.]

Hmm... better find a nice house. Rin won't accept anything but the best.

You are right about that much. [ A voice carries to Kariya, a whisper amplified by armor vox-emitters, coming from behind a half built house. It would seem someone is unwilling to meet others face to face, at least for a time. ]

...Garviel? Is that you?

I am only Cerberus now.

Why the name change?

Because someone must be the monster at the edge of shadow. I am cast out as inhuman, so I will watch the gates of this town and simply protect those within it.

Come and visit Rin once in a while.

When you find one, lemme know so that I can hook it up to an electricity supply and stuff.

[Says the small redhead working on de-weeding a nearby garden.]

Will do. Maybe I'll just make a new place from scratch.

Ooooh, that sounds good. What kinda house would you make?

Rin will probably want a castle.

[Blink. And then she giggles lightly.] Well, luckily, there does seem to be room for one in parts of the town.

I'd better get to work, then.

Tell me about it.

[Lancer shook his head in exasperation, crossing his arms with a sigh.]

When I said I wanted to build a castle, she demanded crocodiles and piranhas. What the hell is a piranha and why the hell would we need them?

It's a kind of fish. A really nasty and aggressive kind, with sharp teeth. She probably wants to fill a moat with them.

She has a Servant who turns into a snarling monster on provocation. The hell's she need fish as guards for?

Rin wants what Rin wants. I've learned not to question it.

I desperately cling to the hope that someday she'll wake up and get hit in the face with a measure of sense.

Mayfield's librarian has given her the power to create things out of thin air, Lancer. I think you're the one living in the dream.

[ It sucks to be have been told you're not really real, but for some reason it doesn't really bother Rin as much as it should. After all, she was there whenever they gave Shirou a new body, so the concept hardly bothers her. Plus, she was here with family. ]

I'm glad you know my tastes already. [ Stepping up towards him, she folds her arms behind the back of her skirt as she walks. ] I should correct you on something however, Uncle Kariya.

Any place with you is the best.

[Kariya smiles back at Rin, reaching out to put his arm around her shoulders and draw her close.]

We can start over here. Maybe Sakura will come back, too.

H-Hey, watch out! What if someone sees us like this?!

[ Even if she's shouting, her body lingers in close to his. ]

Right, start over here. Sakura will come back, she better, I mean we're waiting for her here after all.

Then they'll see a proud uncle and his niece enjoying a well-earned peaceful day together.

[Let 'em stare. B|]

I'm sure she will. We'll need to have everything ready for her.

Think she'll enjoy a castle?

[ With a bright smirk: ] Because I'm getting a castle. With a moat too! I plan to have alligators in it.

And piranhas? Lancer said you wanted piranhas.
