Desolation Denizen
Something in Heinrich's face twitches. His eyes narrow on the pair.

"Was there an alternative strategy suggested there, or was I correct in hearing nothing but facile petulance? This is a war, not some lovers' retreat."

What were the Church fathers thinking in providing him such an obstinate Servant? Surely they could have contrived one more suited to his methods...

"Let us try once more. I will first introduce myself. I am Father Heinrich Antonius Rosenbach, Grand Executor of the Holy Church and its representative in this Grail War. You will find me frightfully short on patience. While I may seem a poor choice of Master, with my inability to work magic, I am possibly the greatest human warrior alive in this age, having killed countless mages and otherworldly creatures, and the Church has seen fit to arm me with an arsenal of holy weapons for my task in this city. As such, the best strategy available to us, in my estimation, is one in which the two of you act as support to myself, drawing the attention of enemy Servants while I work to assassinate their Masters. We possess a terrible vulnerability in the form of the True Cross relic that binds you to this world. I cannot risk damaging it by carrying it into battle, thus it must be protected. Comparatively, we have an advantage in that, for whatever reason, there are two of you functioning in the role of Archer, and should therefore employ that asset to its fullest. What possible objection do you have to this?"
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
