Einzbern Movie Night #2: Six Coins

[old_man_acht]

The basement has become a second home to Jubstacheit, while outside the walls, the Grail War passes him by. He devotes himself to studying the films that Caster has taken of likely spots along the river, watching the passage of fishermen and children and young women traveling in twos and threes. Until his father's papers come, until Lara's birds have news to report, there is nothing to be done but brew pot after pot of tea and watch the flickering screen.

He can't remember when last he's slept. But for the regular chime of the clock, he'd lose all sense of time.

Lara presses her lips together tightly enough to drain them from blood. "I won't," she says; her voice comes less freely, this time, and she digs the toe of her shoe into the basement floor.

Caster barely manages to catch Lara's eye as her expression darkens. "At my Master's discretion," he says, with a smile that tells her he'd like to go too. It's certainly true, for more reasons than one.
