Atalanta shifted her feet nervously as EMIYA slammed various cabinets loudly. She sighed softly as she hear the loud clanging of pots. No doubt about it- he was really upset. It wasn't it like it was her fault. At least not fully.

"...Atalanta. I have heard that Rin is still ill." She turned and there stood Saber Arturia- looking quite serious. Glancing back at EMIYA who was making supposed to be making soup for Rin she pulled Saber a bit farther away.

"Yes, but children get sick all the time. She should get better in no time" Atalanta whispered.

"Are you sure? My counterpart has informed me, Rin has not gotten better in several days. He and I agree it is most worrisome. I have seen illness take many young lives in my time." Saber said solemnly.

The other King Arthur and Bedivere has taken quite a liking to young Rin. Saber wondered if it reminded Bedivere of when he use to take care of her. And for Arthur it seemed natural that he bonded with her. Which of course pissed EMIYA off since they tended to hover over Rin more often than not. If EMIYA had an irrational fear that about Atalanta replacing him; the combination of Arthur and Bedivere certainly blew everyone out of the water. They were completely enamored with her. So, it caused quite a stir when Rin had passed out during their tea time. Arthur had immediately rushed Rin to the infirmary with the Knights trailing behind him. It was hard enough not being able to get near Rin- for they had been friends in so many lifetimes but Rin to be weak and incapacitated in such a manner frame was truly unconscionable.

"Don't worry Saber. It's just the flu. Rin will get better. EVENTUALLY" said EMIYA was he came out with a finished tray of soup. He shot Atalanta a dirty look as she took it from him.

Atalanta refrained from sighing again. There was no words in heaven and earth and all the multiverses combined that would convince EMIYA that it wasn't her fault. Rin liked going outside to play and stayed out past the heat spells and caught a cold. Well the flu. She should have made Rin go back inside but how could you say no when Rin used the puppy dog eyes on you? It was unexpected since apparently Rin was never sick a day in her life when he met her. And now she was here in Chaldea. Young and small. Sick and feverish.

"Who's with her right now?" Atalanta blinked up at EMIYA. His face was etched with concern. She decided not to mention that Arthur and Bedivere had basically sworn absolute fealty to Rin in her time of need. Atalanta knew that it was hard for him. Especially since he couldn't go near Rin. She had saved his life in so many ways that it must be unbearable to be so close and yet so very far. She made a note to try to tease him less about Rin.

"She'll be fine. She has around the clock heroes watching over her." Atalanta said turning. She flashed a smile at Arturia who was also frowning. "Don't worry. I'll let you know the minute she feels better. Besides Berserker is being protective. He's cuddling up to her every chance he gets and practically bites anyone who gets near her. " Rin certainly thought he was a dog in her feverish state. He certainly didn't seem to mind when Rin held him close and called him puppy. Though she was probably remembering an actual dog from her childhood. She hurried away before EMIYA could piece together out that it meant that Berserker was basically sleeping in Rin's bed while she was sick- in his miniature size; of course.

"WAIT WHATTTTTT?!"

..I've been wondering if I should try to write more and post more often but life gets in the way so much. I'll think about it!
