Did you have any suggestions on how to avoid further bloodshed?

I'm a soldier. I understand the risks associated with this.
[Honestly, she'll be surprised if everyone comes out without a scratch on them. They'd been lucky enough during the castle infiltration to not have sustained any major injuries but it's highly unlikely that luck will last.
But first! A question back at him.]
Are you a murderous psychopath?

[ As long as she is living in some sparkly dome of naivety, that's fine. Soldier though—that sort of explains her demeanor. Warfare sure does breed a different type of warrior these days. ]
nope. [ He probably falls into the murderous category by definition, but. ] perfectly sane. i'm just better at fighting than damage control.
[ please imagine me flipping you off in ascii art here ]
nah, carrying one would just be cumbersome.
[ though he fails to elaborate, that's not just laziness. he can keep his spear with him if he decides to travel around as a 'ghost,' but anything else is a no-go. ]
and if we're being perfectly honest here, i don't think they look very interesting either.
[That's 40% more effort than she expected, she'll take it. And blame her commanding officer, maybe if she got more days off she'd be more joyful about things.]
That's quite the demand. I don't typically do things for free.
[ Asking him to take this seriously was insuring that people would die. That's how Servants operate—weapons to point and direct, guns that never miss. It's a little contrary from 'avoiding bloodshed,' but. Maybe he could make it work.

how could I ignore such an earnest request? consider it done.
sprawls out here
hmmm... depends. [ Even if he wasn't—there's not much point in pressing the point. ]
but I try not to sweat the small stuff. you'll get worry lines if you stress out over everything, y'know.
ugh fine, gives up
[does this guy seriously not give a shit or is he some weirdo immortal dude who's seen the world crash and burn four times, what is going on here.]

well we're not going to let them die, right?
[ it's more confidence than anything else. ]

gotta admit that's not really my specialty.
oh but before you go thinking I'm some murderous psychopath, I'm just saying? it's pretty unavoidable that people are going to get hurt.

nope. [ He probably falls into the murderous category by definition, but. ] perfectly sane. i'm just better at fighting than damage control.

Any particular fighting style?

Interesting choice of username aside:]
Aren't those a little old-fashioned?

Some of us do. [AKA her.] Some use more traditional weapons such as swords and spears, while others rely solely on magic.

They're efficient, but they're not for everyone.

efficiency and business though, how joyless. he takes his work pretty seriously, but why bother acting like that all the time... ]
i still expect you to show me how it's done. let's do our best with this mission, hm?

all right, i'll bite. what do you want in return?
you're right, the game sprites are awful
[To me, though she doesn't voice that part of the thought for the jewelry to pick up on it.]
i know, it hurts me
