open post --- waver velvet
Who: Waver Velvet + Open
What: New arrival type things and exploring
Where: Melai Temple and surrounding forest
When: The day after camp starts up
Warnings/Notes: To be added as required.
1. Settling In
[There was no real grace to Waver Velvet. He was a young man who spent too much of the past week and change flailing through life, being hauled over shoulders and via chariots, and now he was in another world entirely when he ought to be focusing on the Grail War!
With no way to channel the anger appropriately, Waver had found a small room within the temple to simply...well, rant as if Rider were still there, and for once was quiet enough so that Waver could get in the full litanty of what was bugging him now.
Satisfied with the rant-a-paloza, Waver began to walk the corridors, scowl still deeply entrenched on his face. While friendliness wasn't something he was exactly radiating, if brushed up against someone he at least had the sense to mutter:]
'Cuse me.
2. Art critique
With...everything...Waver had taken to walking the halls of the Melai temple, his shoes padding quietly on the floor. It was impossible for him to miss the murals on the wall. Their scale was impressive in and of itself, the color palettes used equally worth stopping to examine.
"Weird how few monsters make more than one appearance in these murals," he said quietly, standing in front of one set outside of a cave. The monster's head was shown to be poking out, all fierce teeth and terrible to behold, whereas a cutaway of the cave showed the greatbeast's body. The spirit in front of it and their mage they...well, they looked like a well matched duo. That particular thought sent Waver into his own thoughts, eyes still locked on the mural.
3. Wandering in the Woods
What would Rider be doing right now if he was in Waver's shoes? Probably something stupid.
What would Rider tell Waver to do? To take advantage of exploring a great new world. Waver knew it, and he personally resented that he could hear the big oaf's voice in the back of his mind, trying to get him to do crap that he had little interest in doing.
It was out of some begruding respect for the giant servant that Waver decided to at least explore some of the surrounding Cedar Forest that was outside of the temple, although he had little intention of straying very far. There was no way he could rough it for even a night.
The kodama were the first things that caught his attention, both in color (they stood out against a sea of endless green), and in their habit. Their movement was unlike anything Waver had witnessed (then again how much had he ever mucked around in the woods or seen an animal that wasn't trained to love city life?)
"...Huh," he managed after watching them for a while. The novelty of their presence masked smaller things, like that Waver had inched so close to them that he had moved into some of the watery bank of the glade and now his shoes were quite damp.
"Oh, goddamnit," Waver muttered immediately. "And I bet this crappy place doesn't just have spare shoes either."

[ Arturia crosses her arms, then looks up and down the corridor. Something clicks in her head as she finally seems to realize that there's something missing. ]
...Is Rider not with you?
no subject
That question brings the rest of everything into focus. No, Rider isn't with him. Saber just said that her Master made her ruin the fourth grail which means he and Rider lose. The weight of that suddenly crushes the thoughtful curiosity about the Grail out of Waver, and he returns to his previous state and then some.]
Crap, you got to the Grail?! I put in all of the effort to summon Rider and fly to Japan and to have to deal with all of that and have to go home to Clock Tower empty handed?!
[Goddamnit! This was supposed to get him some damn respect! Now he'll just be going back to England a loser.
Again.
As always.]
no subject
I'm not sure that you left entirely empty-handed, but you did not win the Grail.
[ Honestly, she knows nothing of his fate in the war or after it. He might be dead in her time, for all she knows. ]
If Rider isn't here, then I shall make protecting you my responsibility. You can rely on me, Waver Velvet!
no subject
[It's an extremely self-centered outburst, one that betrays how much maturity really is in Waver. He's...beyond. There's anger, but there's also palpable disappointment in no one else but himself. He failed. Not Rider, not anyone else. He failed to get the grail, and it's going to be his shame to bear in London.
It's that thought that makes him almost brush over Saber's offer. He wants to reply that he's going to be just fine he doesn't need a goddamn baby sitter, but there's too many other things going on in his mind that Waver's reaction is muted.]
Whatever, you're going to probably do it anyway.
no subject
You're right, but I thought it would be best to ask. It would show a lack of chivalry and consideration to do otherwise.
no subject
[Words aren't coming easily right now. Waver knows what he wants to do right now (run off into the woods and not come back. What the hell's the point anyway if he returns to the Grail War?) but it's not really an option.]
You're the expert on that. [Both in chivalry and not well, not being an immature 19 year old who runs on a lot of assumptions.] But when Rider shows up, you're not obligated or anything.
[When. Not if.]
