[defenceless]

If anyone knows how to melt gold, get in contact with me.

[because someone lost her fire powers. yep, that's it. for the most part...

but a brief addition to the message appears a second later.]

If your suggestion is to make something phallic out of it, feel free to still reply. That way I'll know who to mark for execution.

[defenceless]

I-I don't answer to you!

[babbylon]

Then you did not desire my assistance?

[defenceless]

What assistance can you offer...?

[she's weakening.]

[babbylon]

I wear gold, girl. I keep mountains of it in my vault. Of course I can melt it, if necessary.

[Honestly, how had she not thought of this before? Or maybe she was simply too stubborn to ask.]

[defenceless]

[try the second option, plus a little of "i'm still not asking gilgamesh for anything if i can help it".]

Well, it's just a little—piece of gold, so it shouldn't be too hard to melt it. I just need a way to do it.

[babbylon]

Answer my question first.

[And if she won't, he'll force her. As usual.]

Is this some form of money-making scheme?

[defenceless]

[how attractive.]

N-No.

[yes.

... uh, maybe.]

[babbylon]

I already provided you a sizable stipend of gems, girl.

[Greed, little missy. Greed in abundance, that you have.]

[defenceless]

[]

Look, I wasn't expecting to have pure gold turn up randomly!

[babbylon]

[Pleading the fifth on that one, ma'am. He's allowed to, he's got the original copy of that document.]

Is this simply the Tohsaka way of doing things...?

[defenceless]

What do you mean "Tohsaka way"?

[babbylon]

Pragmatism.

[defenceless]

[not exactly...

her father would espouse elegance. unfortunately, a girl left alone in the world, with a very expensive magic habit and lost monetary resources courtesy kirei, is going to grow up with a certain life perspective.]

A girl's got to get by. Unless you're saying you'll always foot the bill with a shovelful of gems.

[babbylon]

[Whatever you say, Rin. He's still going to see you as a penny-pincher... how very inelegant.]

Are you saying you'd accept my charity, time after time? Surely your conscience would disagree.

[defenceless]

Rather, it's payment owed, so I would be a fool not to take it, every time you offered it.

[babbylon]

[Stammering:]

And for what do I owe?!

LAUGHING TBH

[defenceless]

[without missing a beat:]

I allowed you to touch me.

[babbylon]

[SOUNDS OF SHIT BEING THROWN AROUND T B Q H]

THAT DOESN'T COUNT! THAT NEVER COUNTED! YOU CAN'T EMPLOY THAT AGAINST ME!

because you're up and i know it

[defenceless]

Oh, it doesn't count, hmmm? I wonder if that sort of argument would work against Archer... especially when I can describe it, and you even ran fingers through my hair and brushed my palm...

[babbylon]

THAT

[babbylon]

WAS

[babbylon]

PRIVATE!!!

[defenceless]

[it's kind of hilarious when he's upset.]

How scandalous, Gilgamesh. Have you chosen to romance me? With this outburst of reaction, it's troubling.

[babbylon]

[MUTTERMUTTERMUTTER]

It is more accurate to say I do not wish to endure the daggers in my back that would likely result from a fellow Servant noticing I pay you an increased degree of attention and favor, compared to prior interactions.

[...which is an awfully long way of saying shit, Archer's going to realize he's paying for nothing now.]

[anti_altruisms]

[ You're damn right he is, especially since none of this conversation is private.

Keep hanging yourself, Gilgamesh. He's just going to watch. ]
