Now, what I can't help but wonder is how Shinji keeps control over Rider when she's still on Sakura's wrist.
:huh: Wait....

"So, you're the one responsible for all of this, Shinji?!"
Matou Shinji smiled as he stared down the hallway at the bumbling fool Emiya. Though he didn't look very bumbling at the moment. Rather, the red-haired magus looked like he wanted to do nothing more than cave Shinji's head in. Then his suprisingly murderous expression lightened and was replaced by his more usual look of bewilderment. Clearly he was having a hard time keeping up with Shinji's own dazzling intellect and brilliant plan.
"Ah, Shinji...?"
In actuality, Shirou had just noticed that Shinji's arm that held Rider didn't quite... match the rest of him. First of all, it was missing a sleeve, even though Shinji was wearing a jacket.
Secondly, as thin and scrawny as Shinji was, Shirou was certain that his arm wasn't that... feminine. Though he had his doubts.
However, the kicker that something was off was how Matou's shoulder didn't seem to connect with the bare arm.
Then he noticed the hump on the other Master's shoulder.
"Yes, Emiya?"
"Who the hell's standing behind you?" Shinji started, looking like the kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar.
"Ah... I ha-" His response was cut off as his jacket was tugged about, and Sakura's head poked over his shoulder, with a shout of "Hi, sempai!"
"Wah!" Shinji started, beet red. He glared ineffectively over his shoulder at his sister, who was still waving cheerfully with her free hand, the other still pinned under Shinji's armpit. "Fool! I said, 'Stay under the coat at all times!'" Matou shouted, before whacking the purple-haired girl in the head with the tome he was carrying.
As Rider stabbed Shinji in the knee in retaliation, Shirou and Saber made eye-contact. More often than not, his servant had been more than willing to lunge into the fray, no matter how ridiculous the situation. The fight with Berzerker had been proof enough of that, and Shirou refused to even think about the 'fight' with 'that cheater' Caster, and the Servant Assassin on Caster's hand. But, to the Magus's relief, they were of one mind this time:
'These people are fucking nuts!'

Now, my question is, what happens when Caster stabs a Servant with Rule Breaker? Does the Servant just... pop off, taking the master's hand with it?
