( It happened like a flash. The sudden queasiness tainting his face, the sound of dial-up noises playing in his mind and the resulting pounding of his head. If Iri were to take a closer look at his face, Kiritsugu physically does not look well.
None of this seems to matter to him, though, as evidenced by his capacity to carry on with what he intended to say. )
LILITH.. saw fit to patch in my memories.
( He hopes saying that much should give Iri an idea of his sudden affliction. )
I saw him, about a week ago. ( There's a gasp in between his words as he sputters, attempting to catch his breath. ) Carrying Avalon.
( Which, at the time made no sense to him. After all, how would he been able to obtain if if not from one of them, or being King Arthur, himself? )
Fuyuki, there was a fire. I found a child amid the rubble, and implanted Avalon in his chest. Iri, he's my son.
( The timing of this revelation may be less than ideal. )
[It's hard to tell if he looks more like he hasn't slept in days, or he's coming down with something, but either way she's tempted to redirect their conversation to that.
Right up until he explains himself.]
Oh...
[Well, that's something she won't have to worry about. Ever.]
Avalon? [Her eyes widen. She's as shocked as he no doubt was. But of course he keeps going, and her jaw falls open in utter disbelief.]
I... What? A fire? At the end of the War, you mean? And you... took in a survivor?
[Well, that actually makes a certain amount of sense, especially if it was a child, but she's also been roundhouse'd upside the head with several sudden shocks, so she's stuck staring at him as she tries to absorb all of that for a moment.]
