Ink in FGO

10

[Setting: The Maid Cafe, where Artoria Pendragon serves customers. Gilgamesh and Ink enter, drawing attention with their contrasting presence.]

Gilgamesh: (entering with a flourish) Ah, what a charming establishment we have stumbled upon! Artoria, my dear, you look positively radiant in this maid outfit. It suits you well, doesn't it, painter?

Ink: (looking around, distracted) Huh? Oh, yeah, it's great! Maid outfits are always... um, interesting.

[Artoria approaches the table, maintaining her composure despite the annoyance written on her face.]

Artoria: Welcome to the Maid Cafe. How may I assist you today?

Gilgamesh: (leaning back in his chair, smirking) Ah, Artoria, my dear, I have a request that will truly put your skills to the test. I demand a cup of tea, brewed with the tears of a phoenix and stirred with a unicorn's horn.

Artoria: (raising an eyebrow) I'm afraid we don't have access to mythical creature tears or unicorn horns, sir. Is there something else I can offer you?

Gilgamesh: (leaning forward, undeterred) No mythical tears or unicorn horns, you say? Very well then, just bring me a cup of tea. But make it stronger than Excalibur, for I have a thirst that can only be quenched by the most potent elixirs.

Ink: (leaning in, grinning) Hey, Artoria, you know what they say—tea is just hot leaf juice, right?

[Artoria suppresses a sigh, glancing between the two with a mix of annoyance and professionalism.]

Artoria: I will prepare your tea as requested, sir. Is there anything else?

Gilgamesh: (musing) Perhaps a silver spoon with diamond encrusted edges to stir my tea? Or a porcelain teacup with the image of my divine visage? Ah, the possibilities are endless.

Ink: (excitedly) And don't forget the sugar! Lots and lots of sugar! Can never have enough sweetness in life, am I right?

[Artoria grits her teeth, mustering her patience and professionalism.]

Artoria: Your tea will be served shortly, with the usual accompaniments. Please enjoy your time here at the Maid Cafe.
