It was during lunch when Mordred returned. She took Kairi with her, claiming to Shirou and Rin (who was visiting) that "my Master wanna' meet King Arthur", but it seemed that they just wanted free foods.

"So what will be your reason for staying here?" Arturia asked the two people sitting in front of her.

"That we're broke?" Mordred suggested before she opened the miso soup bowl in clear enthusiasm. "I mean my Master here is kinda' low on money-"

"Hey!"

"I had to spend my days in catacombs while he - I don't know - did things."

"Well," Shirou interjected. "I don't mind with having you guys around. But I have my guardian around…"

"Ah, right! Fujimura-sensei!"

Kairi set his chopsticks down. "If your guardian's worried about daily supplies, we can pay the groceries ourselves," he convinced, wanting to help his former Servant to rebuild her father-son bond and everything related.

Shirou waved his hand. "No, no! It's just that…" he turned his eyes to all the girls in the room. "Fuji-nee might not approve it."

"Then we will be Father's acquaintances. I'm the cousin, and my Master's the uncle," Mordred concluded with her mouth full of foods. "With us too, that guardian of yours do not have to worry about you," she pointed at Shirou, "And Father staying under the same roof while she's not around!"

It was a rather brilliant excuse, seeing how the Tohsaka girl nodding her head in agreement afterwards.
