...Look, don't kick yourself for asking because you had no way to know, but I'm kinda recently widowed. So giving myself some time and trying to enjoy things without serious commitments, y'know?
Nope, you didn't. But if the choice is "go to a friend who needs someone" or "ignore that friend"... [He shrugs. Get the point? It's technically a choice, but with only one possible outcome.]
Mm...the first time was with a Master from my world- Kadoc- we got along well. I was intrigued to see what a pact between us would feel like, so I didn't have any objections to that arrangement. He knows how to treat a Servant well, and used the 'pact' to let me show off my magic.
[A pause, before she shivered.]
...Then there was Yuber. He wasn't so willing to relinquish his newfound power.

['It wasn't you'
Maybe she should take his word, this time around?]

['I don't want to lose you, too'.
'I can't deal with you getting killed'.]
If you do that to me I will curse you do you understand me-!
[A panicked desperation- it had only been a couple of days since finding out the fate of her precious Souichirou-sama, another loss of someone she cared dearly for was the last thing she could manage.
...Not that she'd tell him that detail tonight. She didn't have the strength to explain what happened just yet.]
