[ For all that she'd joked otherwise, she's restrained enough when it comes to questions - outside of an occasional reminder as to which name goes with which face (she's always been so bad with them, after all) she seems to be following things well enough. It's the feelings that matter more than the details, after all, and for as bad as she is with people's feelings in real life it's easier in movies where everything's blown up so huge and telegraphed so obviously.

So she sees it it a little more clearly than she expects to. Or maybe she's just projecting. When it's the two of them, it's probably both. But when she sees just how well liked the Faerie King is, even with all the freeloading and the sniping...

Yeah. She remembers wanting to be like that too.

Maybe if she'd had a friend like Artoria it wouldn't have all ended in blood. ]

Ah, I get it now. "Pain in the ass" just means she sees right through you, huh?

[ She shoots him a cheeky little smile, amidst another round of on-screen squabbling. ]

You're right. I do like her. Anyone who can take you down a peg or two is alright by me.
