Nonsense, Master! Love is what makes fighting over a hundred Holy Grail Wars worthwhile in the end! Rather, it is because you fight so much that love should be important!
[She sounds very big and pompous, but there is a slight undertone to her voice- A very small, nearly unnoticeable weariness.]
[here's an additional fun perk about having a fox-girl as a Servant. Since she's trying to be comforting, and Hermione is holding her close, she can just reach around and wrap her tail around Hermione, like an extra hug. It's fluffy and warm, too. (And, you know, glowing still.)]
[ There's a moment of surprise as she glances down - but of course she relaxes when she realises that it's a tail, and she softens. Tilting her head back up, she hesitates before she speaks. ]
I don't think so, not really. There were people I loved with everything that I had, but falling in love? I don't think I never got close enough with anyone that might have fancied me for it to ever happen.
[ And while she had loved Gilgamesh she had never been in love with him, no matter what he might have thought and said. ]
But he was thoughtful, too, even if he didn't think that he was, and he was stronger then he ever gave himself credit for. We ended up matching, too - [ Hermione touches her scar ] - and... I don't think the world had been kind to him, so I tried to make up for it as much as I could.
[ Hermione hadn't really noticed it, if she's being honest. She had just wanted to help people, and she had loved those people. She didn't think she had a pattern. ]

[ Hermione raises an eyebrow before she grins, fighting her giggle. ]
I've already hit him around the head a few times, it's fine. He always listens to me in the end.

But, that isn't a problem for the holiest and most sacred martial art of all! The Polygamist Castration Fist will subdue any man in a heartbeat!
[she sounds 100% serious.]

No. ]
Castration - No, I'm alright, thank you.

[it's not actually what it sounds like!
.... it's actually a series of kicks.]
But, I guess there are other ways.

[ She huffs a little noise. ]
We wanted different things.
no subject
[She actually does seem to calm back down, letting the mood settle to something a little more serious.]
It seems we both have great troubles with love, though perhaps in different directions...
no subject
[ Hermione shakes her head, lifting a shoulder absently. ]
It's fine. It's not really important to me.
[ Not anymore. ]

[Even if her tail is still doing the sunlight glowing thing, it still manages to puff up in alarm.]
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
It fell to the side, I think. Fighting two wars changes your priorities.

But sometimes actually falling in love is just exhausting.

[Her ears droop slightly...]
But even if it's someone who doesn't fancy you, one-sided loves can still happen. You've never had one of those?
no subject
[ She pauses, fighting her smile. ]
There was this man, his - his name was Luke. He was... Really broken, I think, but I did my best to be there for him. I think I could have loved him.
no subject
Ohhh? Well, don't leave me in suspense! What was he like?

Is it just my imagination, or do you seem to have a way of attracting that kind of person, Master? Myself aside, this boy, and Diarmuid...

I don't know. Maybe? I don't know why...
no subject
[She mutters that to herself, before returning to the matter at hand.]
Do you really not know? I think it's fairly obvious if you simply look objectively.
no subject
I just want to help people. I suppose people appreciated that?
no subject
Master. Remind me once more how you feel about being called "Master" instead of by your name?
no subject
Well, it's not right. I don't like the idea of having control over you, you know that. I want to help you, not own you.
