They call this place Ruby City. Wherever it is, it's not your world.

[cappingjustice]

Not...my...world? [He turned back to look at the train station obviously confused.] But I don't remember getting on the train

[puppy_lancer]

I didn't either. This place just...grabs people.

[He doesn't know exactly know how it works.]

[cappingjustice]

[He turns back to the man before him, his expression questioning but curious now the shock was wearing off slightly.] I'm gonna guess there's no way home, right?

[puppy_lancer]

Not unless they drop you off. And they always choose the fucking worst possible time.

[cappingjustice]

Who exactly is they?

[puppy_lancer]

People who run this place. Bunch of ass-

[And then he realizes he's talking to a kid.]

Jerks. At least one has the power to blow himself up. Watch out for him.

[cappingjustice]

[Kerry nodded, suddenly shivering.] Right. [He'll remember that. Though how he was meant to recognise the man without a name or description was beyond him.]

And who exactly is that? And who are you, anyway?

[puppy_lancer]

Someone called him "Tim." He's a guy with crazy hair and a sharp face.

As for me, you can call me Lancer.

[cappingjustice]

[Another nod followed by another shiver. It was cold here in just his vest top.]

Nice to meet you Lancer. I'm Kiritsugu. But most people call me Kerry.

[puppy_lancer]

[He notices the boy's shiver. In response, he pulls off his suit jacket. It smells of alcohol and tobacco and dog and also happens to be too big for the boy's frame, but it should be better than just a tank top.]

Bundle up a bit better then, Kerry.

[He throws the coat at the child.]

[cappingjustice]

[Catching the coat, he gratefully placed it over his shoulders.] Thank you. It was very warm where I came from.

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods.]

Warmer where I came from too.

[But as Servant, his body is more weather-resistant.]

Guess you'll need to find someone willing to get you a coat or something.

[cappingjustice]

Oh. I haven't got any money but I guess I could work for it. [Great. This was going to be fun.]

Where did you come from, Lancer?

[puppy_lancer]

That's the spirit.

[Kids like him were rare nowadays, since they all seemed to be rather spoiled.]

This one city in Japan. Think it was called Fuyuki? It's in the South, so it's pretty warm.

[cappingjustice]

Not really but it's better than nothing.

[He'd heard of Japan. Not Fuyuki but at least he vaguely knew the area of the world. He nodded his understanding. It made sense.]

Were you not there long? [Not remembering the name of your own city made it seem like Lancer couldn't have been born there, or at least not brought up there.]

[puppy_lancer]

Nope, just a few days.

[His actual life in the present era won't last any more than a month anyways.]

[cappingjustice]

[Another nod. That seemed the case.] So where did you grow up? If you were only in Japan a few days before coming here?

[puppy_lancer]

Ireland. It's...pretty far away from where I am now.

[Pretty long ago too.]

[cappingjustice]

[Kerry nodded, pulling the coat around him a little more.]

Yeah. I know they're far apart. Never been to either though.

[puppy_lancer]

They're good places. Take a look if you ever get a chance.

[cappingjustice]

I'll remember that. If I ever get out of here.

[puppy_lancer]

You want me to show you around as long as you're here?

[Though Lancer only knows a few places. However, he does know about the Church. Surely Kirei would take this kid in, right?]

[cappingjustice]

Might as well.

[Look up. Kirei and kids don't mix Church sounds warm.]

[puppy_lancer]

Let's go then.

[He starts walking and beckons for the child to follow him.]

[And everything that happened afterwards was all Lancer's fault]
