Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Meltryllis simply took another bite of her crepe as she half-listened to Nanako, not entirely caring for her Master rambling about food as she was. As a Servant, there was no real necessity for her to eat in the first place; it was the same as someone indulging in a hobby, or so she assumed. Despite that, though, it was not like she disliked that aspect of things; as her body would never change, she could indulge in such things without worry.

"Well, for you, it might; I have no need to worry about health. That doesn't mean you should neglect yours, though," she responded coolly, taking another bite of her crepe and savoring the taste for a moment before glancing around at the people wandering to and fro. As far as they went, it certainly felt less like 'people moving about' than it did 'a wave that happened to be made up of people'; distinguishing individuals from one another seemed to be nearly impossible—a far cry from what she had been used to since her creation.

"...How vexing..."

A few more minutes of eating later, and the crepe in her hands was no more. With a small sigh, Meltryllis turned towards her Master expectantly, waiting to see when she would finish.

"So, what now? You've had your fill, I presume?"

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Choosing not to respond directly to Nanako's quip, Meltryllis simply stood by and watched quietly as her Master placed the order. This was one of those shops that made a show of making their food in front of the customer—something to be expected, given the way that they were set up—and so the two stood by watching as their food was finished right in front of them. Once that was done and Nanako had taken both crepes in hand, Meltryllis nodded and followed after her as she sought out a seat.

"I'm not so rude so as to not accept a gift when it's presented to me," she remarked as the girl handed her the crepe as the two sat down next to one another. There was no space to place any distance between the two as she usually did, given how claustrophobic the streets were, but that wasn't much of an issue.

Now that she had the crepe in had, though, Meltryllis had to admit that it was much easier to manage holding than any sort of fork or spoon. All she needed to do was cup her hands; no force beyond that was necessary in the least.

"Well, in any case," she began, using her wrist to push some of the hair that had fallen in front of her face out of the way, "I may as well try this. The presentation isn't too shabby, at least."

Leaning forward for a moment as she took a bite from the crepe, the Alter Ego paused for a moment as the took a moment to savor the taste. She was not used to eating, after all, and though this was not her first time doing so, the flavors were definitely a lot more in-line with her preferences this time around.

"Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The taste of tea is nice, though I would prefer something a bit more pronounced," she mumbled to herself before taking another bite. "Mmm. Acceptable."

Er...
Okay not sure how else to go about it but, well...

I think I'm also tapping out. I don't know why or how, but I've lost motivation to run my character over the last few weeks. Sorry.

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Though she had taken intrigue in the crepe shop that her gaze had lingered on, Meltryllis did not by any means expect her Master to actually notice her own curiosity. By this point, it would have been more prudent to have done so; as convenient as it was to be able to try something that caught her fancy, having her hand be read so easily was a bit irritating. Even so, it would end well enough anyhow. Probably.

"A crepe, then...? Well, that's fine. I guess if I had to pick..." she trailed off, glancing over the sign hanging over the streetside window shop before pointing, her sleeve dangling in the air as she gestured towards her choice. "That one. Matcha, apple, strawberry, whipped cream, honey. I don't agree with the name, but the taste sounds good enough to warrant at least a try."

Logically, eating a crepe would be easier than eating a parfait, at least; all she had to do was being it up to her face and eat, right? It was better than embarrassing herself in public by fumbling about with some sort of utensil, at least...

I feel like that could be an interesting way to kick the scenario off, if anything. Then again, I've also got no preference for this one way or the other, so anything everyone else is on board with here, I'll follow.

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

The idea of leaving the house to go and get street food was not exactly the most enticing of thoughts for Meltryllis, who had already decided to follow her Master as she wandered around regardless of her final destination. Though her body would remain the same no matter what she ate or what she did, the same could not be said of her Master's. Coupled with an empty stomach, and...

Well, so long as she could maintain some level of restraint, that wasn't exactly an issue in her mind.

"Street food? Fine, as you wish," she responded, shrugging her shoulders as the two walked out of the elevator. "I would have preferred something a little more sophisticated, but I suppose it can't be helped."

---

As Nanako had said, the market district had stalls set up left and right; some seemed to be in preparation for a night market instead of simply appealing to the students who wished to while away their afternoons, but there were enough to warrant at least a few careful looks here and there. The tantalizing smell of foods from all over the world seemed to drift about, and despite the street that they were walking down having more than its fair share of Japanese street food available, there was definitely enough variety to surpass many of the other famous multicultural meccas of the world.

Having Heroic Spirits from across time and space tended towards that, anyhow.

"Have you found anything that you want yet?" Meltryllis asked, making sure to stay close enough to her Master to make sure that she wouldn't get lost in the crowd. Her gaze seemed to linger over a windowfront crepe shop for a little longer than it had for most of the other shops and stalls in the area, but she soon returned to simply looking over the area carefully. The crowd made it a bit harder to memorize the area, but there was enough that stood out about the place to name that less of a factor than it might have been compared to the residential areas that seemed to blend into one another.

I'm fine with either 2 or 4, personally.

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Nanako pointing out the supposed 'upside' of her injury only caused Meltryllis to roll her eyes in mild exasperation. She had expected her Master to be somewhat less gung-ho about her injury, even if it had almost healed, and touting the lack of use of an arm was nothing to feel happy about.

Doubly so, given her own lack of properly functioning arms, but that was that and this was this.

Once she had finished her preparations and opened the door for her to lead the way, though, Meltryllis nodded and obliged, stepping out of the apartment (properly) before waiting for her Master to lock the place up.

"So we're going to get you something to eat so you don't end up starving, right?" she asked, crossing her arms as she waited Nanako to finish before walking with her to the elevator. "Do you have anywhere in mind, or are we simply going to wander about until something catches your fancy?"

It wasn't as if she knew much about what shops there were on the ground as opposed to what she had seen from moving from building to building over the last few days; her knowledge of what was at ground level was limited almost wholly to what she had witnessed on their first few excursions, and no more. That lack of information, as nonessential as it was, bothered her.

"I don't mind either way, though."

I'll get a post up in a bit. Was trying to finish up a paper before sitting down to focus on this.

Fate/Eternum — Reboot

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

It was, admittedly, a bit surprising that Nanako had decided to head outside today rather than order food; the purple-haired Alter Ego had fully expected her to dawdle about in her room—doubly so, given her injury—but at this point she supposed that there was no point in pushing for her to stay behind. In many ways, escorting her to whatever place she decided she wanted to eat at was likely safer than playing rooftop guard again. As much as she wanted to get a better feel for her surroundings, Meltryllis had to admit: it was a lot easier marking locations mentally at ground level despite an aerial view making scoping out the area far easier.

Well, that and the fact that those skyscrapers made it difficult to move about without being spotted. She still despised the prosthetic limnbs that Nanako had forced her to use in public, but at this point, it was better than drawing more unneeded attention at this point.

"Fine, fine," she complained, materializing the prosthetic limbs in question before standing back up. "I'll keep you to that promise, then. I'm not going to let you get away with doing anything rash, though, so do keep that in mind."

A few days ago, going along with her Master like this would be near-intolerable, but at this point, there was some semblance of obligation to at least keep her alive. As blockheaded as she had been, it would have been unbecoming of her to let her get into trouble after going so far as to throw herself in front of an arrow like that.

"I'll wait until you're ready. You're the one in need here, not me."
