Could anybody tell me where I could buy a bow and some arrows? I haven't seen any shops for them, but I haven't explored the whole city.

[Video; filtered to Rin]

Hey, can I talk to you for a second? I just remembered something kind of important.

[Action]

[Eventually, Shirou finds an archery shooting range. He can be found there, shooting arrows at the target. With his focus, he's able to hit a bulls-eye every time.

Approach?]

Interesting. I wonder what all of that is about. Maybe you can do magic differently than me. You're not able to just shoot things, are you? Ah, let me look outside my window and see if there's anyone down there..

[ She does need a target if she's going to show an example of what she can do. ]

No, I need a weapon to shoot things. I can just make things stronger or more effective.

[Note how confident he is. The guy just remembers one of the rare successful attempts.]

Huh? Why do you need to look for people down on the ground?

That seems like a useless way to use magic. What could you make stronger?

[ Confidence noted. However, she's prideful and has to one up him. Somehow. ]

Because I'm going to shoot at them so you can see. Why else?

I could make arrows shot from a bow as hard as steel.

[He thinks that speaks for itself.]

Whoa, wait! Let's...let's not shoot people!

Wha-? That sounds pretty neat, but I'm going to have to see it sometime if you want me to believe you. Nothing personal, but you're asking me to believe you can just do magic.

... hm, I wonder if that means we're the only two people here who can do that.

[ A pout. ]

It doesn't look cool unless you see how sick they get after!

That's fine, I can show it to you.

I don't know. No one else has said anything about being a magus.

[But then he stops.]

No, wait, hey! That's not good at all! If you insist on using it on something alive, use it on a monster!

Really? Then I can show you mine.

Ah, monsters.. You mean like the ones in that strange place I went to? [ Yes, the tsundere was off getting into trouble. Explains all of those bruises from before. ] I don't know. It didn't seem too terribly effective against them.

Strange place? It doesn't sound like you went into the wilderness.

No, we went to some place called the Item World. It had strange colored areas and dangerous monsters. I honestly don't know how we managed to make it back alive.

The...Item World? What exactly is that?

I guess it's sort of like the magic you could do. You enter to strengthen an item.

[ Pause for dramatic effect. ]

We did it for a rock.

[Shirou finds that hard to believe, but he refrains from voicing such in favor of...]

...A rock.

Yes. A rock. I almost died for a rock.

[ Maybe she shouldn't say things like that last line. It doesn't seem to click in her mind that she's spoken it so thoughtlessly. ]

You almost died in there?

[It sure clicked in Shirou's mind.]

And you can say it off the cuff like that?

Erk! If it was serious, do you think I would say it so casually!? Shirou, I can use magic. It wasn't like a bunch of weird creatures that can do it as well were going to beat me.

Death is always serious, I mean, it's death! Once you die, that's it, you're not coming back. And I don't want to see you die.

What are you trying to say, Shirou?

I said what I meant to say. I don't want you to die.

[TRY NOT TO TAKE IT TOO PERSONALLY RIN the boy is too idealistic for his own good...]

Death happens all the time. Maybe that's why we're here.

What do you mean?

Maybe we died and this is some strange in-between.

...No way. I refuse to believe we're already dead.

Why Shirou?

If we were really dead, would we have pulses?

[BEST. LOGIC.]

...

[ Huh, guess he's right. She's feeling her own just to make sure. ]

Is that really all that defines a person from being dead? Just a heart that beats? If it just stops suddenly.. then that defines a person as deceased, but there's the miracle of it beating once again. Right?
