7th Grail: [Video/Action for Goldenrod]
Hydra, let go.
[A shiny, newborn Deino gives a plaintive whine, but Ilya ignores him and pulls her hair out of his reach, offering a long stick instead. He begins to bite into it with gusto.]
You know, people keep talking about how troublesome it is that Deinos love to bite things, but I think there's another problem, and I'm not so sure they're the only ones that have it. Deinos are blind, right? And so is their first evolution, Zweilous. But when they evolve into Hydreigon they can suddenly see. Doesn't that seem like it might cause problems? What would it be like to be blind all your life, then suddenly be able to see? They say Hydreigon is vicious, but maybe it's just scared.
[There's a snapping sound, and Ilya glances over at her dragon, who has bitten straight through that stick and is now trying to find something new. She sighs and offers him another one.]
I don't know what can be done about it, though. You can't really help them try to see before that. I suppose you could try blindfolding the Hydreigon, but I don't think that would work very well.
[The second stick snaps, and a sudden gust of wind blows her hair across Hydra's nose. He snaps it up immediately.]
Ack! ... Although, I guess I do understand the first problem, too. Hydra, let go. I said, let go-
[And with a muffled chomping sound, most of the rest of her hair suddenly vanishes into the maw of the Garchomp that just snuck up behind her. Ilya scowls.]
Not you too, Typhon! Why do you dragons think my hair tastes so good?

There have been those here longer than myself. Lancer, I do believe, is on his third season here. Cecil, Yagyuu, I believe they have been here longer than myself. If we were in Japan, they would be referred to as my... senior?
[ Trying to translate senpai here, but it's not working out so well. ]

[Dear Papa only taught her so much before going off to get her mother and himself killed pointlessly.]
I just hope I can stay that long...
video;
Is that your wish? [ Surprising, but there's some relief in her voice. ]

You intend to wait for someone... your mother? [ Maybe her father. ]

[No mention of Kiritsugu.]
And... I know you'd hate it if he showed up, but... Berserker, too.

[ She feels a need to correct her, so she does. ] It is just without Mad Enhancement, they must live a life without that convenient cloud to hide their minds within.
You see, Ilya, there was a Berserker here previously. Guilt consumed him and in the end, he left without the answers he needed. [ The one she failed to give him. ] Do you think your Berserker could live a happy life with acknowledgement of what he may have done in the Holy Grail War? Where he may have failed or succeeded?
Mad Enhancement is a coward's way out in the end.

[Ilya that's kind of... not the point.]
But I... I still want to see him again.

[ Every person deserves a chance. That's why she shows kindness to a man who's head she chopped off and softness towards a girl she vowed twelve years ago to save, but failed to do so. ]
video;
Right. That's exactly what we'll do.
... Thank you, Saber.
video;
Mm, of course. You take care in the meantime, Ilya. [ That's Saber for "Don't start trouble, young missy." ]
video;
[Look at this innocent smile, Saber. Don't you trust her?]
video;
... Though it does remind her of another woman with horns on her head now that she's really looking. ]
Yes, of course. I will be around for dinner this eve--please join us when you can. Until next we meet.
video;
Bye bye, Saber! See you tonight!
