[OOC. There is the potential for spoilers for heaven's feel 3's movie, but threads have those will be warned. Also, sakura comes with a percursory warning of abuse, but I will not spring that on anyone without permission and is very unlikely to come up in threads naturally. let me know if you'd like to opt out of anything! I've decided to go with elemental magic for Sakura for the TDM and a pegasus familiar.]
❀ OPTION I.
[Water was something, as a Matou, that she was inherently connected to.
...And a part of her wonders -
What it would be like to sink in, deeper, and deeper...
But those thoughts are easily blown out of the water - quite literally, in fact, when she finally rises above the surface, coughing out as much water as she could. The outfit she wears doesn't help her much as she hugs herself and is eventually given the potion to help her swim back to shore.
Thankfully for all parties involved, Sakura herself is a good swimmer and manages to get there rather quickly and with no issues. She can even hold her breath for long periods of time, too - not that she'd brag too much about that.
Once she gets to shore, though, she can't help but frown a bit, trying to squeeze water from her clothes and hair. If she spots anyone, her expression immediately falling back into a bit of a forced, polite smile - even more so if she doesn't recognize the face.]
... Ah, I'm sorry. I'm being a bother, aren't I?
[Because of course she is. Why wouldn't she be? Just because everything 'ended', so to speak, doesn't mean that she has complete confidence in herself around strangers.
Although if she does recognize the person she sees, her gaze might instead flit immediately away, not wanting to look at them directly. Well, unless your name is Emiya Shirou, of course. ...But he's an exception to the rule, really.]
❀ OPTION II.
[...Learning magic, huh.
Sakura's spent her life doing so - but in all the wrong ways. So the concept of having to learn magic doesn't exactly appeal to her, even if she knows that it's meant to be done to save the world from destruction.
Although the word Avalon... and Camelot - those are words familiar to her, for various reasons. Not that she'd be saying that aloud. But there seems to be some sort of messaging application to talk with others...?
Hm.]
Hello.
My name is Matou Sakura. It is really strange to be in a place called Avalon, don't you think? It's a place that I've only heard in stories until now, so actually being here is quite the surprise.
I'm wondering if anybody else is also familiar with the place - or has heard about it before.
There is one thing I should also ask: they spoke about learning about magic... but how would I go about learning it? I'm not familiar with this sort of thing after all.
Thank you very much in advance for answering.
- Matou Sakura
❀ OPTION III.
[The hot springs is definitely a place to relax, and heaven knows how long it's actually been since Sakura herself has had a chance to do even that. And this would be her first time being in a proper hot spring, so a part of her can't help but feel a little excitement bubbling in her chest.]
Ahh... This is really nice... it's so warm and relaxing...
[She's not speaking to anyone in particular there, but it's not as if she won't say no to a conversation partner.]
❀ OPTION IV.
[...How did this happen.
She's not the type to get into competitions like this... so getting stuck with another person for a three foot race is kind of hilarious. She's not even a fast runner. Which is why she gives her partner a rather incredulous, but apologetic look.]
I-I'm sorry you're stuck with me... we should try getting to the finish line quickly, right?
❀ OPTION WILDCARD.
