[ Being a mother... isn't as easy as it sounds, Rin's painfully discovering. While the boy she adopted is a sweet little thing, he is also a boy and Rin is lacking in experience when it comes to boys that age. In Japan they were proper and didn't mingle much with girls so there's minimal experience from her childhood to go by. Growing up, there was a baby sister for a few years, but she doesn't like to think about those times either so it's no good. She's been a mother for a week and she's already crawling to her locket after asking around. Turns out most of her close companions either suck at parenting (thanks Saber for everything Mordred) or just planned to never have children at all (because that's helpful, Waver), leaving her in the dark. If only there were self help books available, but of course there's not.

Plus this gives her a reason to actually pester people. See what's been going on now that Caer Scima is rubble and everyone is scattered throughout the world. Let people know she's alive. Give them a chance to speak with her before she shut her locket for good. So here's one Rin, dressed tomboyish for her poking around for all to see. ]

Boys are really a handful, aren't they? No--before you ask--I'm not having relationship problems. I mean little boys. I'm not sulking, but it's really kind of hard to think of activities for someone his age-! [ She's brooding pretty fiercely by now. ] When I was seven years old, all I ever wanted to do was study, so why won't he?

[ Just in case anyone in Allaidh Darach needed further proof that Rin Tohsaka was a nerd. ]

I don't even know what to feed him since Emiya left. [ Yes, that's a public jab at his departure today. She's still a bit sour over it. ] He's a stupid boy, so he knows what boys need! What if I don't have enough of the right vegetables and his growth is stunted as a result. That can happen, can't it?!

[ There's a sound in the background that causes her to nearly drop her locket, the magus fumbling with it for a few seconds before it lands solidly in her palm. ]

Crap, crap, crap! What if he heard-?! Oh no, he's going to think he's an inconvenience and—[ Snapping the locket shut. It'll be a couple minutes to confirm it's clear before she replies to anyone. ]

[ To be fair, has he seen how young he looks art style aside?? ]

So you fight.

You're just an ordinary soldier? You look too young to have accomplished much.

[andallbite]

[ sob... isayama why. ]

I don't have a high rank or anything. [ Back home or here. Though, he isn't quite sure he could call himself ordinary anymore... Not when he essentially became a monstrous tool to use, so that reclaiming what was lost of the human territory was possible. On the other hand, Eren doesn't go freely sharing that information without good reason to. ] I didn't get the time to do a lot of what I wanted before I ended up here.

[gandere]

You're the hardworking type huh? [ She teases as if it wasn't already obvious to her. ]

So what is it that you want to do? You must have found some time to accomplish things here.

[andallbite]

—Here?

[ He has a bigger goal he wishes to aim for, that much goes without a doubt—but it hasn't been accomplished, not really, because that goal pretty much involves winning this war. Making sure that "end of all things" never actually happens. And when Eren becomes focused on that one thing he wants to do, he doesn't think about accomplishing the little things, too. ]

... I want to make sure nothing happens to the world I came from. That's all.

[gandere]

You understand what that involves, don't you? [ Not that she expects him to say it over the locket, but she'll remind him of it regardless. ]

The best way to protect your world is to keep your shard safe, but then there's a whole court who intends to use this world against us. There's no winning, is there?

[andallbite]

Yeah, I do.

[ He may not know every detail behind it, but he's accepted his place in this war. He isn't so reluctant about it anymore.

But then Eren ends up pausing briefly, shooting her a faintly puzzled look. ]

What're you saying that for? We can win this.
