Arturia x Rin

GENERAL 8: Who’s better at comforting the other?

Rin is better. Rin is so much better. She came from a family that was rich in both money and love (everyone's alive and well in a modern au, no magic) and although her father could be distant at times and a lot was expected of her, she still had a happy childhood. For all the Tohsaka talk about maintaining a dignified visage, they weren't too suppressive of the two sisters, so Rin can express herself better in general.

She also learned early on that Arturia can also be calmed by food and exercise. Rin's a good cook and she spar with Arty using Chinese Martial Arts. (She's learning fencing just so Arturia doesn't have to be limited to hand-to-hand)

Arturia tries to be comforting when Rin is down, she does, but most of the time she just doesn't know what to do. She'll scramble to do random things that she thinks would help, before eventually just sitting next to Rin to be with her while she gets through it. (Rin appreciates the effort. The effort alone makes her feel better)

Thank you for the ask!
