I'm not immortal, you know.

[ She just has a tripled lifespan - or she will, as soon as she gets her shard back.

Hermione shakes her head, though, shrugging it off and focussing on her Servant instead. ]

[castrationfist]

You know, if someone as amazing as you doesn't become a Heroic Spirit yourself, I'd be quite surprised. And even if you don't, I'll just find you again once you reincarnate.

[... Would she reincarnate on Earth or in the Drabwurld, though? Thinking about it, Caster doesn't actually know, this is a new situation...]

[brainiest]

... Me? A heroic spirit?

[ Hermione can't help her short laugh. ]

I'm not legendary. I'm just... Hermione.

[castrationfist]

What about, the hero who crossed dimensions to save another world? Someone who, feeling unequipped for it, became a Marchioness, had followers, gained magic and powers and was notable enough that the King of Heroes and a Knight of Fianna were head over heels for her? A brave soul who works for others' sakes?

[brainiest]

[ ... Well, when you put it like that.

She does mumble, though. ]

Diarmuid wasn't 'head over heels' for me...

[castrationfist]

[... oh, no, that reaction is just too cute.]

Hm, maybe not romantically, but I certainly think he was in some way.

[brainiest]

I think he felt more like a big brother than anything else.

[ And, well, he was sleeping with Gilgamesh too... ]

[castrationfist]

That's love, too, isn't it?

[I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW]

[brainiest]

Of it's own kind, of course.

[ Kirei, Dorian, Diarmuid... ]

[castrationfist]

I think it counts!

[Because it's convenient for her current argument.]

[brainiest]

So he was head over heels in platonic love with me, just like I was with him.

[ ... It could work, she supposes. ]

[castrationfist]

Which means you're still quite a notable person. A perfect candidate for becoming a Heroic Spirit!

[brainiest]

Don't people have to care about my legend for it to work?

[castrationfist]

Don't you think the people of the Drabwurld will care about your story?

[brainiest]

Some of them, maybe. I had a few Native friends that... Liked working with me?

[castrationfist]

If they tell others about you, that's really all you need!

[brainiest]

Is it really that simple?

[castrationfist]

It is! I mean, in the first place, people only know about the stories about me. No one at all knows the truth of what happened, yet I am still here as a Servant.

[brainiest]

What if the stories about you are bad? Would you still become a Heroic Spirit?

[ Wait - no, she shakes her head. ]

It's not that simple. 'Good' and 'bad' aren't terms you can measure.

[castrationfist]

[What if the stories are bad, you ask Tamamo of all people.]

... You will become an Anti-Hero. One whose evil allowed for heroic deeds.

Master, you... don't know my legend at all, do you?

[brainiest]

[ Hermione tilts her head back over to look at Caster, pausing. ]

Gilgamesh must have been something like that. A King of Heroes, but - his legend wasn't...

[ She breathes out before she focusses on Tamamo. She knows Gilgamesh's story, and Diarmuid told her his, but... ]

I only know what you've told me and shown me.

[castrationfist]

I see...

[She doesn't like talking about it, but it's important she understands.]

... You know some of it, but the rest... Shall we return to your room, first?

[She can secure that against eavesdroppers, at least.]

[brainiest]

[ Frowning, she reaches for Tamamo's hand. ]

You don't have to do this.

[castrationfist]

I do. It's true I don't want you to know, but at the same time, I want you to understand.

[brainiest]

If you don't want me to know... Then you don't need to tell me. We could find a way for me to understand things without you having to do something that might hurt or upset you.
