Shirou: I feel so awkward around Robin. Ever since that bathing tent run-in... *sigh* Whenever I end up alone with her, I'm just frozen in embarrassment. Argh, what should I do? I've never had this problem before. ...Ah, I know: a bath! Yes, perhaps a nice hot bath is just the thing for my nerves... I'll have a soak and then find Robin for a relaxed conversation, like always.

*A few minutes later*

Robin: Let's see... The lances and axes are kept around here somewhere... I'll just take a quick inventory and see if any need repairs or replacing... Somewhere... around here... Ah, here—the arms storage tent, I presume? All right then, I'll just head in and— AAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!

Shirou: Robin?! Where'd you come from?

Robin: KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Shirou: What the heck are YOU screaming for? If anyone should be screaming it's me, isn't it? You aren't supp—OUCH! Ow! Stop it! Stop throwing things! Hey, that's sharp! Don't—YEOWCH!

Robin: ARGH! Have you NO shame?! Noble or not, you should AT LEAST wear a towel when you address a lady!

Shirou: B-but, you—OW!—you were the one who walked in on me!

*Scene transitions to outside the tent after Shirou dresses*

Robin: ...I... I'm sorry, Shirou.

Shirou: Are we done throwing things?

Robin: I think. ...I don't know what happened. Something just snapped &...

Shirou: Well, no harm done. Karma, i guess, for the earlier incident! Ha ha!

Robin: Well, anyway, thanks for being so good natured about it all. I feel terrible about that soap dish. How's your ear doing?

Shirou: Better. It still stings a little, but better. In any case, look on the bright side: we've seen each other naked now, right? So I guess we've got nothing left to hide. In a way, we're closer than ever.

Robin: Not the most appropriate way for a man & woman to get to know each other... But... I suppose as long as nobody else knows...

Shirou: Ha ha! It's like we're partners in crime sharing a dark past! Anything that brings us closer will make us stronger on the battlefield. Just you wait.

Robin: Partners in crime? Heh heh, I like the thought of that. Well, partner, your secret's safe with me...
