( Kiritsugu Emiya is not a man who puts his grief on display. And frankly, he wouldn't even be addressing the network were it not for his circumstances: the fact that he, for some godforsaken reason, had been left the ownership of two hotels. Where it not for this, he would have simply waited for the issue to blow over, much like any of his other problems. )

Hello, I'm afraid many of you are not familiar with me. My name is Kiritsugu Emiya.

( This is all by design, of course. The fewer people who knew him, the better. )

I'm sure many of you are aware of the recent departure of Ayame Sasaki. She designated me as the curator of her properties in Fayren and Nova City in the event anything were to happen. If you have any unattended business with her, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to accommodate. Operations at at her hotels will continue uninterrupted.

( And, that's it. No comments about how he felt about the matter, or any fishing for condolences. He would deal with this in his own, Kiritsugu way. )

( Note: I'd gladly accept any action prompts for this, if any of his cr wants to poke him either at his home or one of the hotels. He's going to be pretty surly about the ordeal. )

[She browses the info from time to time. Mostly checking in on the whole fiasco with the hero thing, and though that this might have been more of the same. She was about to ignore it completely when a certain word caught her attention.]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[Kiritsugu certainly wasn't the only one affected by Ayame's departure. It was easy to tell how moody Gale was in the past few weeks. Less jokes, fewer smiles, more workaholic habits.]

Do her proud.

Not that I need to tell you that. Ayame wouldn't have left it to you if she didn't think you'd be able to handle it.

( Sometimes, he felt Ayame had too much faith in him. But that's not something he's about to tell Gale outright. )

You have my gratitude. I will do my best to live up to her vision for me. And if there's anything I can do for you in turn, please let me know.

( Kiritsugu isn't the most social of people, but Gale was-- after all, his superior; and more importantly, Ayame's friend. Of course he would do whatever he could for him in her absence. )

She's returned to her home, so what is there to mourn?

( Frankly, Kiritsugu isn't a fan of treating this like a funeral. )

You're right. I was being presumptuous.

And probably projecting my own situation. So, I apologize.

You no doubt have much to do to catch up on.

What being suddenly short-staffed.

I suddenly find myself in need of a security guard, if you would like to apply.

( DID HE JUST...? )

[Yeah, she has to stare at that text for a while and ponder. Is everyone in this world about fighting??]

I'm not sure that I would really qualify.

I think you might be the one making assumptions.

I'm not one of those so-called "heroes" that needs to prove themselves all the time.

( It's not a matter of being presumptuous, so much as it's a matter of Kiritsugu being An Ass. She remarked upon him being short-staffed, so-- in turn, makes her the worst possible job offer. )

Please. I could care less if you were a hero, so long as you remained professional.

( I mean, that's how he operates, s o. )

I'm 4'10" and female. Being professional has nothing to do with it.

[Never mind that she's a demon and probably has more knives on her person than the Swiss Army...]

Besides, aren't the hotels in the magical pixie land and techie geek central? Pass.

( Yeah, but he owns enough assault rifles to qualify for a Quentin Tarantino movie. What's her point? )

We at Aquos Leisure do not discriminate based on one's sex.

( He must be grumpier about this than he thought, huh? He follows up this text with: )

What do you have against the area?

( Why is he like this? )

That line was so polished one would almost think it was rehearsed.

The whole fantasy thing clashes with my aesthetic. I'm more of the Halloween than prancing through the forest. And the tech? If it doesn't run on the soul of a child I wouldn't have a clue of how to make that thing run. So don't bother asking.

You're right. I'm so horrible. I've never spoken to a woman in my life. How could I ever imagine employing one?

( Never mind that-- at present, he's the only male on the hotel staff, or that he's spent much of his life working underneath other women. )

Excuse me? Are you being serious right now?

Are you really doing this?

So long as you continue to give my words any credence: yes.

( In short: he hasn't been serious this entire conversation. )

[Bomb defused!]

Hmpf...

I guess some people grieve in their own ways.

Don't take it personally. It's cathartic. You were fun to get a rise out of.

( Is he openly acknowledging this? KIRITSUGU??? )

You're welcome?

[Well... at least there's that.]

( Points for honesty? )

As an apology, please feel free to drop by Amatsu for a meal on the house.

( Is this being thoughtful, an afterthought, free word of mouth for his hotels, or all of the above? )

Edited 2019-03-06 01:01 (UTC)

Where is that one? Dorksands and Durhgeons, or the Sci-Fi convention?

[That's a rude way to say "Thanks," Vaggie.]

[Kiritsugu, meet Tomoe. She also does not put her grief on display. Or anything else.]

I do not know if we ever properly met, Emiya-san. I am Tomoe Himura. I am the head chef at the Amatsu but I worked closely with Ayame-san in running the inn. [Because god love her, Ayame was NOT good with organization but Tomoe was a master of it] I will do my best to aid in the transition.

[She idly wonders if he is any relation to Shirou, but she feels too tired and worn from the loss to care enough to ask right then.]

Don't worry, I've seen you around.

( He was security, after all! So he knows who she is, at least! )

I'm glad to hear I have your support. Likewise, please let me know if there's anything I can do for you in this time, as well.

( Frankly, he's still unpacking how he feels about becoming Ayame's successor. And while he wasn't the most sociable at the hotel, he at least fully intends to look after the staff Ayame amassed. )

Do you intend to step in to manage in her stead here?

[There's a part of her that bristles even asking it. She can be like a dictator in her space and although Ayame was still in control... Tomoe had taken it upon herself to... straighten out her office and the more technical flow of business.]

I am very familiar with the way the inn runs if not. I should be able to step in almost seamlessly.

[And it would give her more to do. The busier she was the less time she had to think about... everything.]

She designated me as the overseer of both hotels, but I confess I cannot watch both at once. I would gladly welcome the help at Amatsu if you are up to task. I am less familiar with Limniris, so I should acquaint myself with the property over the next week - should you require me.

( Frankly, the same goes for himself. When Tomoe wasn't around, Ayame would require the same of him. And lbr, her absence is - for better or worse - forcing him to become more proactive. )

I believe that I am.

I will contact you if I need assistance. Thank you.

[This is the driest interaction ever... what are these two...]

You have my thanks, Ms. Tomoe.

( Is that really all he has to say here??? )
