Current Client: Shirou Kotomine Part II

Irisviel: I don't even know who's who anymore. Whadya want?

Shirou: I don't want anything. Some stupid redheaded kid made me come back here.

Irisviel: What for?

Shirou: He said my hair was weird. But, more importantly, he wanted you to figure out why there were suddenly two Archers.

Irisviel: I don't understand.

Shirou: I don't either. I mean, there were always two Archers.

Irisviel: There were? Oh, wait, you mean Gilgamesh.

Shirou: No, I don't.

Irisviel: Um, yeah... sure.

Shirou: Look, everyone seems to think I'm the same person as this 'EMIYA' Servant. I'm not, all right?

Irisviel: So that means you're not my son, then. Shirou Emiya.

Shirou: I just said I wasn't –

Irisviel: I'll just take that as a yes. Did you say your surname was Kotomine?

Shirou: Twenty-eight chapters ago, yes.

Irisviel: So you're, what, Kirei's little brother?

Shirou: I'm his older brother. And I'm adopted. Pretty sure I told you that, too.

Irisviel: But you're a teenager.

Shirou: I have age inertia.

Irisviel:...

Shirou: That means I get older but don't age.

Irisviel: Oh. Uh, what were we talking about again?

Shirou: I'm not your kid, and I'm not Archer or EMIYA or whatever he calls himself.

Irisviel: Uh-huh...

Shirou: You don't believe me.

Irisviel: At least have the courtesy to use a question mark.

Shirou: You won't believe me until you see all of us together, right?

Irisviel: Yeah, that's about right.

Shirou: Thought so.

Irisviel: I've got a feeling that will happen soon.

In five chapters, to be precise.
