[ Archer's words trail into silence. He does not disturb it, pale eyes fixed upon her - through her, as if he is watching something she cannot see.

There is no emotion in those inhuman eyes, his form outlined by a barely noticeable glow. ]

If a human attains that worthiness.

[ If. There is stress on that very first word, only slightly.

Of course, it's not so much an acquiescence as a challenge. Who deems the worthiness of humans if not for the gods themselves? But then, how would such a thing hold in a world without gods at all?

Important questions. ]

[antemeridian]

If.

[ She agrees, without difficulty, eyes shuttered. Another idle sip of the tea he'd deigned to prepare for her, before her eyes open again, gaze clear and lucid, though not defensive. Unlike others who were similarly inhuman, she believes she understands his motivations more, to an extent- and the extent of which his methods would reach.

It isn't entirely acquiescence on her end either, but nor is it rising to meet his challenge. Perhaps elaboration. Her agreement isn't simply surface-deep. ]

And, almost certainly not ever of their own aspirations.

[ That can only lead to the creation of false gods more than anything, delusions of grandeur propped up by forced idolatry. It won't ever last.

No, reverence from others... is an avenue to being placed into that position deserving of such worship, but it mustn't be sought. Not for its own sake. But if they are elevated in that way, and there are no gods to protest it...

What better acknowledgment of their being beyond humanity than such a designation? ]

[glanzenschwert]

[ she agrees with him, somewhat. she agrees with him in a way that most humans do not, leading to this respect between them - of one who was inhuman to begin with, and one who has since learned to see. at least, that is what he wants to believe. ]

Yes.

[ as long as they were not elevated by human hands, he will accept it. and implicitly, accept the existence of that person whom which archer respects. ]

I am glad we are in concordance.

[ he's far too tired of arguing with others, even when other saints come to break the fight. ]

[antemeridian]

[ And she does remember that, or at least catching glimpses or stray mentions of those altercations. Such occasions, she thinks, were somewhat more common when he was still Archer, still possessed of that caustic haughtiness. Or at least more freely displaying of it.

She hadn't minded, so long as he kept to his own business- and he had, at least enough so as far as she was concerned. It wasn't much to have to deal with, all things considered, and though they all share a common cause here, Homura has always kept her own counsel. Ain isn't much out of line from what the old traditions make angels out to be, outside of perhaps, not singing enough of a litany of praises. ]

We all have our obligations and aspirations. Regardless, it can only be for the better if we all managed to find common ground to work with each other on.

It must be interesting, being among the other Rulers.

[ She's aware that the original Holy Grail War summoning ritual was a predominantly European affair, and as such artefacts of such have trickled down into Chaldea's Fate system. Still, the predominance of one particular faith in certain classes, despite how the other classes have filled out with those from all sorts of histories... it's a little curious. It's a little curious, especially given her upbringing, but not enough so for it to concern her overmuch.

Less severe, then, and more distantly polite, in a serene sort of manner: ]

What was it that you were reading before I interrupted?

[glanzenschwert]

[ it's inevitable that scripture will be interpreted differently - that gods will be interpreted differently. the Lord is different from the Lady, after all. and since much of the Lord's scripture is written by humans; naturally he puts less stock in it. he doesn't trust humans, one thing that he shows more blatantly now than before. ]

They are different from me. [ he waves a hand, fingers slender like sculpted porcelain, like glass. ] They are humans.

[ and that, to him, explains everything.

arctic eyes flick from her to his book, then back again. ]

A treatise on the far reaches of space in this world. Curious, how mortals have contrived to see beyond.

[ his voice is calm, objective. curious, how they wish to surpass their limits... yet still fall behind. ]
