[Ah . . . they're out in the open now, free from the restrictions of the ritual, and Fujimaru had deep breath and . . . not said anything. Just kept walking.
Wait, what?!
Kadoc had absolutely expected her to be the first to break the silence there! Come on! She's the one who's like that between them, isn't she? Not that he knows her very well, honestly speaking. They were never even colleagues. What is she to him? A rival, once, and a target. A conqueror. He'd studied her in his Lostbelt because he'd had to, but that's a far cry from actually getting to know her on a personal level; it was watching her interactions with Chaldea and her Servants, and the locals, that had given him the impression of her he has: someone who knows how to talk to people.
And she probably is that, but this is not that situation, is it? This is probably mercy on him, if she's just walking away.
But it's like a scab he can't help but pick at. Kadoc trails along after her, falling behind, arms crossed over his chest. Finally:]
. . . Now you've got nothing to say to me? You sure looked like you did five minutes ago.
