I'm telling you, I need to go back to save her from whatever he plans to do with her!

[Pictured: One ginger-haired teen yelling at the side, his right hand holding the phone which is pointing at himself, his left hand is cut off from the screen, though.

Not pictured and heard: The person he's arguing with.

Got that? Good, because that's exactly what you're seeing right now.]

...

What do you mean I'm in love with her? She's just an ally right now!

[There's a frustrated sigh as he then turned his head to face the camera, left hand dropping down right as he does that.]

Er, sorry about that, a-anyways, uh, they called us here to be heroes, right?

[The teen looked awkward about this.]

I would love to help, but I'm in the middle of something bigger right now, so if you guys can point me back to a plane ticket to Japan, it'd be great-

[And then he raised his left hand, showing a tomato, as he just glared at it.]

I told you, she's not my girlfriend!

[...Uh, before the 'argument' has a chance to continue, the teen is going to just. Cut off the feed because he's pretty sure he's now painting the first impression that he's actually a nutcase.

And before you ask, yes, that earlier person, was in fact, the 'tomato' he was holding just now.]

Archer, where is Tohsaka-!?

[Because blaming a guy who just betrayed his Master upon arriving in this place is the brightest thing to do.]

[Oh.

So Archer is in fact the "he" Shirou mentioned so ominously in his post. He sort of suspected.

Well, time to take advantage of it.]

Hmm. I'm not sure.

You might need to fight me to make me remember, Shirou Emiya.

[After all, if he's really done something terrible to Rin, the only thing for it is to fight Shirou to the death. Even if it won't accomplish his goals here. It'll at least break his ties with Rin and make her stop chasing after him here.]

...

[ 'You might need to fight me to make me remember, Shirou Emiya.'

Those words were enough to get him to focus and actually ignore the yelling of the food ingredient he's holding within his left hand as his right-hand closed into a vice grip onto the phone, shown by the feed shaking.

Fight, huh?

In fact, if all the actions of the Servant could be read, the only thing he wants is his...]

Fine, if you want me killed that much-!

[the gauntlet is thrown.]

[A broad smile starts to spread across Archer's face.

He knows he shouldn't feel satisfied by this. It'll make Rin sad. But even if it won't accomplish his goal of annihilation...at least it'll drive Rin away from him, and that's a good goal, isn't it? And more to the point, it'll feel good. (Haven't other things started to feel good these days too? Spending time with Rin, helping people out in the City? No, that's impossible. It can't be. Only self-destruction can feel good.)]

I'd be generous and let you pick the place, but you're new here, so you'd make a mess of that like you do everything else. So, I'll give you an address, and you can meet me on the roof.

Let me guess, you're not giving me the courtesy of knowing which roof you are on, right?

[So he can probably just snipe him while he's running around like an idiot!!!]

There's not a great deal of point if I don't. Did you think I was that unfair?

--well, I am that unfair, and a traitor besides, but this time, I'll tell you which roof.

[And have an address that's a few buildings down from the MAC.]

I'll be there shortly, then.

[With that said, there's a click as the line went dead, and the boy immediately rushed back to the MAC building in order to get his bearing, the problems of his tomato all but forgotten now.]
