No one is alone

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Who: Kariya Matou, Lancer, Rin Tohsaka, residents of 1666 Nelson Street, and all of Rin's friends.
What: A party to prove to Rin that she has friends.
Where: 1666 Nelson Street.
When: Saturday afternoon.
Warnings: Possible tsunsplosion. Action tags to keep things going.

With the help of Lancer, Kariya had managed to get in touch with all of Rin's friends, acquaintances, and anyone else who views her in the slightest favorable light.  The party had been thrown together somewhat at the last minute, but since it's really just a gathering of friends, there actually wasn't that much specific planning to do.  There's plenty of food and drink - both alcoholic and non - set up in the kitchen and dining room area, and a separate table for anyone bringing presents to set them down.  Apart from that, he's just sitting there with the assembled group of Rin's friends, waiting for her to arrive.

Don't worry. I'm sure she thinks of you the same way, even if she doesn't say it out loud.

... Do you really believe that? [Her voice is uncertain as she says this. Even though it's calmed down immensely since she first arrived in Mayfield, Hakuno... still feels that guilt from time to time. Even if this Rin is different, there was still a kind of awkwardness between them, and that didn't help her feeling of guilt. But if Rin really felt that way...]

Rin doesn't make friends easily, Hakuno, so she doesn't keep people around unless she thinks they're worth it. It sounds selfish and strange, but it's just how she is. She'll dress it up and call it 'allies in magecraft' or something like that, but I'm pretty sure what she really means is friends.
