Dialo | The Gray Garden

[dialo]

[cuethemasong]

[With the Holy Grail War starting up, Masters were summoning their Servants for battle. And Dialo's summon just so happened to be one of the Caster class. Once the light show and the smoke had cleared, her Servant had stood in the middle of the magic circle. And frankly, he just looked like a regular looking high school boy.]

Haaaah... [Cough cough.] Where the heck am I, anyway?

[dialo]

...Aren't you supposed to ask me if I'm your Master first?

[Is this really a Servant? Well, she has Command Spells on her hand now, so she assumes he is, but he looks... incredibly unimpressive.]

1/2

[cuethemasong]

Oh, right... How could I forget such an impactful question?

[CLEARS THROAT.]

[cuethemasong]

Please tell me that you're the cutie who summoned me!!

[dialo]

I'm obviously looking at the wrong Servant. Excuse me, mine must be around here somewhere.

[She turns around and makes a show of looking around the basement where the magic circle is set up. Now where could that Servant be?]

[cuethemasong]

[WOW RUDE!! Okay, well... That hurts his pride just a bit.]

Oi, oi... Don't just write me off like that! If you've got the Command Seals, then that should be proof enough, right?

[dialo]

[She sighs heavily, and turns back around to face him.]

You haven't made a favorable impression yet. But it seems that I'm your Master, for better or for worse.

[cuethemasong]

[Stepping away from the circle, he'll just smugly brush back a bang of hair.]

Looks can be deceiving, you know. As a Caster, I'm pretty much a shoe-in for victory in this little war for yours.

[dialo]

Well, at least you're not any class that relies on brawn...

[He's definitely not impressive in that area.]

We'll have to see. Announcing victory too early is a good way to lose.

[cuethemasong]

Are you saying that you don't have any faith in me? Trust is a two-way street for cooperation.

[He'd much rather see her in this form than his other one... His Demon Lord state wasn't something that he wanted to expose to anyone.]

Not to mention... Do you know any other Masters that have made their summons just yet?

[dialo]

I don't know if they have or not. I was hoping to get my summoning done early.

[Better early than late and miss her window.]

[cuethemasong]

Cute and on top of things.... [And he'll be taking her hands into his as he leans into her face.] The two of us are certainly compatible for sure.

[dialo]

[Wow okay that is entirely too close. She leans away from him.]

Stop that. Right now.

[cuethemasong]

[Leaaaaaans in again.]

But you and I were destined to be together according to the summon.

[dialo]

I was destined to fight battles with you. You touching me is not part of the contract. Let go.

[Using a Command Spell would be a terrible strategic choice here.]

[cuethemasong]

[He'll obediently let go for now. It wouldn't be the last time that he did that.]

But you ARE a mage, right? I'm sure you know the standard process for what happens whenever I end up losing mana.

[dialo]

I take a long nap to help restore my own mana more quickly, thus providing more to you.

That's all.

[There is absolutely no way she's doing that other thing. Not even if her life depends on it.]

[cuethemasong]

[Hear that sound? It's the sound of hopes smashing to pieces.]

--THAT'S TOTALLY UNSEXY AND ANTI-CLIMATIC!!

[dialo]

[...Trolling him is actually kind of fun. She smiles a wicked smile.]

Or, maybe you'd prefer just disappearing from mana deprivation?

[cuethemasong]

[ERK.]

Nonono! N... Now let's not go that far!

[dialo]

Then you might not want to complain so much about how you're not getting any from me.

[Because he's not, no matter how much he whines.]

[cuethemasong]

Even so... I won't give up on our destiny.

[One had to give him points in determination... Even if it was in the wrong place at the moment.]

Anyway! Let me take a gander at your place. Gotta know our home base more thoroughly.

[dialo]

Very well.

[It's a rather modest house, actually. Aside from the large basement used for magical affairs, there's really nothing that distinguishes it from any other suburban house.]

[cuethemasong]

[As he's looking around, Arata hums to himself. This would actually be a pretty good hiding place from other masters.]

Huh. This is pretty old fashioned. I was expecting something huge like a mansion or something like that.
