[She seems like she's lost in thought when he comes across her, an odd expression on her face — though it's quickly replaced by a placid smile when he addresses her.]
Ah, yes, that's right. I did say that.
[A pause, as she looks at his face a little closer.]
Not like...a book character, but more like a figure in a legend?
[And a shrug. Also she can go to the page where King Mandricardo is fighting with another character, King Gradasso, and they're using trees they uprooted instead of swords. Fun?]
Ahaha, oh, no. Don't misunderstand. I haven't said you didn't exist. You're right here, after all.
[She flips to another page... Gimme the goods, Crystal.]
It's still pretty impressive, though. Say, do you still have the same strength? Could you uproot one of the trees in the forest? I'd love to watch you at work.
[He scratches the back of his neck, awkwardly. Also now she's at a part where Mandricardo and Gradasso at an earlier point were saving a lady from...an Ork?. Whatever an Ork is.]
I couldn't...I mean, even if I was summoned at my full strength, I'm just like...not that powerful. Here, where magic and stuff is turned off, I'm kind of just average.
... Hm, I think I get it. You're something like a familiar. A blast from the past come to life! But if you're here, who did the summoning? And how? I'm surprised you haven't gone out in a puff of smoke with everyone's magic cut off.
Oops. I get it. [Waves him off... Wow, secret master-servant relationship.] Well, if they're ever comfortable enough to come out, please let me know. I have all sorts of questions for the two of you.

Hey, about that proof. I'll need to get ya one of the books for that. You might need to hang on for a moment while I find it.

[And he'll go off! And return with a book! The title proclaims it is called Orlando Innamorato. He hands it over.]
The, uh, second part I gave to another. But this has me in it, too.

... I take it you're a character in this book?

[But. Also. The fuck.]
—You uprooted an elm tree with your bare hands?
no subject
[In Fate/GO he did, in real life! Nah. BOOK CHARACTER.]
Um. [And he looks sheepish.] It wasn't like...it wasn't like a giant tree, really...
[This isn't even the first time in this epic poem he uproots a tree to fight with if you can believe it.]

I have a Master, too, but it's not like they're giving me mana to exist.
