No one is alone
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.

Uncle Kariya?
[ Her voice is quiet, afraid of his answer. ]
no subject
Rin...
[Choking back tears, he sharply turns his head from her, covering it with one of his hands. He doesn't want her to see him like this right now - weak and useless.]
no subject
Do you need for me to get some medical help?
no subject
[He can't bring himself to look at her, so he pulls his hood over his face and reaches out a hand to weakly grasp at hers.]

[ Her optimism shows even with a hushed whisper, the girl pulling him firmly against her body. She doesn't care how strange it feels or even shows any fear of the bugs that infest him coming for her. No, all she can do is try to make up for this. ]
I promise.

[Kariya shudders. Going through this all over again is breaking him. It was bad enough the first time, but here... he'll die over and over from the worms, and for no reason at all. At least at home he had a goal. Something to fight for. Something to focus on. But here, there's no Grail, and Sakura's a drone. His entire reason for taking on this burden is meaningless in Mayfield, and all that's been left behind is despair and a hole in his heart.]

[ Tugging him in even closer. ] We're going to make it through this though, however, and then we'll live our lives happily here.
If we just believe in it... it can happen, right?
no subject
...Right. You're right, Rin. I won't give up on myself.
[He isn't sure how log he'll be able to keep it up, but he needs to put his best foot forward for Rin. She is quite literally all he has left in the world at this point.]
no subject
[ Adding back with a slight tease. ] Trust me, you don't want me to hold a grudge. Lancer did something I can't even remember and he still has to pay for it.
For now we should get you into a bed so that you can rest. That must have been... exhausting. [ For lack of a better way to describe it. ]
no subject
You're right.
[He's still feeling pretty weak, though.]
...Mind helping me up?
no subject
[ Because she's a good niece. Even if she inflicts PAIN AND SUFFERING just by being impatient. It doesn't take her long at all to do; a silent incantation under her breath and suddenly strength not fit for arms that thin appears. ]
no subject
Thanks, Rin.
