[k] [charaFace B 12] @Da Vinci Sure, it's a little reckless of her to go out on her own right before a big battle, but she's strong enough now that she'll be fine even if one of the Tam Lin were to attack her. [k] [charaFace B 14] @Da Vinci The real problem is whatever made her want to go outside. Maybe she's tired from being around all these people? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Senji Muramasa ...Well, you know. She's always had a tough time with crowds. [k] @Senji Muramasa Well, with faeries, really. Not that she's much better with humans, either.

[k] [charaFace B 26] @Da Vinci But I think that's just 'cause she tends to be a people pleaser. I'll take that over arrogance any day of the week. [k] [charaFace B 15] @Da Vinci Especially since, you know, just between us, Altria's kind of scary strong now. Like, Lostbelt king-level strong. [k] @Da Vinci If she ever went nuts and turned evil, we wouldn't stand a chance against her. [k] [charaFace B 16] @Da Vinci Just so you know, Muramasa, if things ever come to that, we won't think twice about sacrificing you so the rest of us can escape! [k] [charaFace A 13] @Senji Muramasa If that happens, you and me'll both be taking a trip across the Sanzu River. And I'm sure not gonna help you out there. [k] [branch _sel01c] [label _sel01b] [charaFace B 23] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] @Da Vinci Huh? She can? [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaFace A 11] @Senji Muramasa ...Must be Fae Eyes. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Senji Muramasa Murian said that it used to be impossible to lie to faeries because they could see your true feelings. [k] @Senji Muramasa From what I could tell,[sr]she still had a little of that power herself. [k] [charaFace B 32] @Da Vinci Hold on. Oberon told us that ever since British faeries started imitating human society... [k] @Da Vinci ...they lost the Mystic that gave them their Fae Eye[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 22] @Da Vinci Oh, right! Altria ISN'T a British faerie! She came here from Avalon. Which means[line 2] [k] [charaFace A 0] @Senji Muramasa She can see lies. She can tell what others are really thinking. No... She might be seeing even deeper than that. [k] [charaFace A 9] @Senji Muramasa This might be rich coming from me, seeing as I spent my life fixated on things like evil, retribution, and karma... [k] @Senji Muramasa ...but if she can see people's karma,[sr]that'd be terrible for her. [k] [charaFace A 15] @Senji Muramasa I'm sure one reason fairies disappeared from Proper Human History is the advance of civilization... [k] @Senji Muramasa I'd bet a bigger one, though, is that they couldn't stand seeing human malice laid bare. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Senji Muramasa As humans invented language and began studying the world around them, the whole species grew wiser as knowledge spread from the privileged class to the masses. [k] @Senji Muramasa But that also helped lies, deceit, and pretenses spread all over the world. [k] @Senji Muramasa That's what the faeries couldn't bear. That's why they stopped having anything to do with humans. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Senji Muramasa But now the faeries of this Lostbelt are just as pretentious and deceitful as humans. [k] @Senji Muramasa And only two faeries can see just how ugly those lies are: Altria and Morgan. [k] @Senji Muramasa They're the only two who're like the fairies we knew in Proper Human History. [k] [charaFace B 14] @Da Vinci ...Gotcha. Makes sense. It's one thing to see through lies, but quite another to see the lies themselves. [k] @Da Vinci Sometimes, we humans choose to go along with what someone's telling us even when we know they're lying. We can turn a blind eye if it'll help things go smoothly. [k] @Da Vinci But you can't do that if you have Fae Eyes. They leave you no choice but to face both the lie and the true feelings behind it. [k] ?1:...What if they only hung out with honest people? ?2:...What if we banned lying forever? ?! [charaFace B 25] @Da Vinci It still wouldn't be enough. There'll always be gaps between what someone says and thinks, no matter how honest they are. [k] @Da Vinci In some ways, it's actually better if someone lies to you out of contempt. As long as you know what they're doing, there are ways to cope. [k] @Da Vinci But if you can see the lies for what they are? The worst are the kind people tell to make you feel better. [k] @Da Vinci Even if they're doing it for good reasons, a lie is a lie. [k] @Da Vinci So if even white lies told out of kindness and consideration seem dirty to those with Fae Eyes... [k] @Da Vinci ...then this Britain must be no different from human society as far as a faerie of paradise is concerned. [k] @Da Vinci And if that's true...would she really want to save a world like that? [k] [charaFace A 16] @Senji Muramasa Of course she would. She's got her head screwed on straight about that kinda thing. [k] @Senji Muramasa If she was going to jump ship, she'd have done so long ago. I don't know why she's so stubborn... [k] [charaFace A 19] @Senji Muramasa But whatever the reason, she's definitely made of the most unyielding steel around! The kind of person who'll never compromise their principles, no matter what!

[k] [charaFace A 11] @Senji Muramasa ...but this job turned out to be a whole lot longer than I expected. [k] @Senji Muramasa One thing led to another, and the next thing I knew, we were only half a day away from attacking Camelot.

All the Foreign God did was summon Servants and give them jobs. [k] @Senji Muramasa Said we'd have no reason to defy her since we'd been handpicked by the strongest being in the world, so she knew we'd never betray her. [k] [charaFace A 15] @Senji Muramasa She still doesn't get the idea that some people are better fits for certain jobs than others, or that they might have actual preferences of their own. [k] @Senji Muramasa She just takes a pro and con approach to everything...though I guess that aspect might be different now. [k] [charaFace A 19] @Senji Muramasa But I think I'll let another version of me handle that discussion. This time, it just wasn't in the cards. [k] ?1:Damn, that's too bad... ?! [charaFace A 20] @Senji Muramasa I know. Make sure you hang on to that feeling, though. I could tell there was no lie or zealousness to what you said.

[k] @Altria ...The truth is, you think our chances of winning are slim, that the Round Table Army's going to be slaughtered, and the humans will be the first to die.
