(Soren POV)

I am walking through the hallways feeling absolutely bored in Chaldea. Not much to do besides studying, training and watch even play stuff on my upgraded phone. Ponder an idea maybe try go to the restore singularity by using my Aurora Curtains to get out of for a bit. Part of me thinks it is a bit risky because everyone except Melfina will be wondering where I'm at after I'm gone for hours. Dr Romani did say they working on the pods to Rayshift to the restore singularity so I'll probably wait until then. Notice Mash next to a window as she glanced at the snowy view. Seem lost in her own thoughts.

Day Time

Soren: What's up, Mash?

Mash heard my voice. Look at my way, greeted me with a smile.

Mash: Oh, hey, Soren.

Soren: Is everything okay?

Mash: Yeah, I'm fine.

Hmmm....not buying it.

Soren: I may not be your master. But if you need someone to talk to.... I'm here too. You are my friend.

Mash: Okay. It is nice that your concern about me. To be honest I am still worried I'm incompetent

Soren: What do you mean incompetent? You mean as a Demi-Servant?

Mash nodded.

Soren: Are you kidding me? You seem very competent. I mean you help fight against corrupt servants and activate your Noble Phantasm. You save our ass when Saber Alter unleash your crazy Noble Phantasm.

Mash: Saber Alter?

Soren: Alter short for Alternative.

I think that what it is. Mash gave a kind smile toward me. Mention I wouldn't be able to take down Corrupt Lancer by myself, plus save us from Corrupt Archer dozens of arrows when Ritsuka and I first appear at Singularity F. Mash started to blush from compliment then look away.

Mash: Your just being nice.

Soren (smile): No. I'm being serious. Your awesome, Mash.

Mash (smile brightly): Thank you. Your very sweet, Soren.

Soren (blush): Well.....'oh, God. She is cute'! Hey....do you got any board games? You know to kill some time. And we can get to know each other more.

Mash: Yeah. I do have couple of board games. Would like get to know you as well.

(Mash POV)

Soren and I play a game called "Connect 4"... It's a pretty old game. Though we do enjoyed it. I've ask Soren where he come from? What country he's from? His likes and dislikes. He told me he's from America living a normal life like anyone else. It was disrupted being taken by the Mages Association to bring Soren here in Chaldea. Director Olga said there is no file of Soren as Master Candidate nor from a Mage lineage. Innocent bystander that got drag into our current state affairs. Felt kind of bad for him. I ask about his unique abilities. Who gave it to him. All Soren said it was a secret. Now I'm even more curious! We started to play Monopoly. This game does take awhile. Only way to win is to bankrupt the other players. In the end I won. Oh, we're playing at my room. No, we're not doing anything weird!

Soren (😭): I lost!

Mash (smile nervously): Y-you tried your best.

Soren flops on his back and sigh.

Soren: Welp. I had fun. Although I do miss video games.

Mash: Video games?

Soren got up halfway as he look at me.

Soren: Have you ever played video games?

Shook my head no.

Mash: We don't have video games here in Chaldea.

Soren (-_-): Wow. That's boring.

Mash: I usually read, train and play board games.

Soren: You know I don't get why the Holy Grail exists in the first place. It seems nothing but a hassle. Wasn't created by bunches of mages from many and many years ago? Honestly I don't see the point of these Holy Grail Wars.

Mash: Well.......every mages have their own goals for wanting the Holy Grail. And..... anyway can we try talk about something else?

Soren: Sure.

He began asking me. Where I'm from, my likes and dislikes. Did tell Soren about the "Demi-Servant Project", but that was shortsighted of me because he didn't liked it. Just another reason not to like Mages.

Soren: 'Seriously is "almost" all Mages are fuck up in the Fate Series'?

Mash: You may not agreed what they did. But I am thankful I became a Demi-Servant so I'll be useful to everyone.

Soren: Mash, there's other ways to be useful besides being a Demi-Servant. Your smart girl. I'm pretty sure you'd can help different ways here in Chaldea.

Mash: I don't know if I'm that smart.

Soren: Smarter than me. At least your good at something else besides your abilities. As for me without it I am basically useless.

Mash: That's not true.

Soren: No. It's true. I just get lucky that's all.

Mash: 'Soren'.

Soren: I'm gonna walk around a bit. If you want to hangout let me know. I had a lot of fun.

I nodded as Soren left the room. What Soren said has me worried saying he's useless without his abilities. Guess he and I are somewhat similar in our own different way.

Mash: Soren....
