Maybe it had not been his brightest idea to do this in public, but going out of his way to return back home seemed like such a hassle that he decided to do it right here and now. Scientific curiosity seemed to be dangerous in Spirale where everything and everyone was on his tail in the first place, so acting carelessly was bound to lead to huge mistakes.

Only now - as he was sitting alone at a table at a small corner café, cursing himself as he tried to close the wound on his arm prophylactically with thread and needle - did he realize that working entirely by himself was more difficult than anticipated.

Honestly, who could’ve thought that the person he wanted to convince to volunteer as his test subject would draw a knife against him? What a careless, careless and stupid mistake. This would not happen to him again in this fashion, surely.

While he was at work on himself, he had ordered a coffee with the obviously shocked waitress as if he was not bleeding from his arm and as if the blood was not staining his clothes and the table he was sitting at. All he needed was just some peace and quiet, and something to keep him from passing out.

The Doctor was still in the process of finishing the last couple stitches as he groaned in annoyance, speaking to the person who was not so inconspicuously standing just a little behind him.

ritsuka didn't trust francesca as far as she could throw her.

even if the other doesn't know who the master was, that didn't matter. she learned enough from hippolyta to know that the servant was no different from how she was in that specific grail war. and yet, even while knowing that, she couldn't predict the other shooting her. ritsuka barely registers the bullet passing through the flesh of her left bicep until she feels her own blood trickling down the length of her arm, gathering at her fingertips before dripping to the concrete by her feet in a steady stream.

wide eyes turn to assess the damage as she lifts that very arm up, feeling the smallest of relief to see that it was a through and through shot. the pain is instant, but she's suffered enough wounds to keep it from showing. at least until the other tugs her closer by the wrist of the very arm she shot, causing the master to gasp sharply, her steps stumbling until she's on her knees before francesca.

she winces in pain and braces herself, expecting another shot to ring out. yet all she hears is a giggle as small hands press firmly against both sides of her wound, earning a pained groan from the master. it's not like what shuten had done– there's no fingers digging into the hole, spreading and worsening the damage. no, from what ritsuka can see through her bangs, she seems to be.....stopping the bleeding.....?

her gaze narrows as she watches francesca almost nonchalantly wipe the spilling blood away enough to wrap a bandage around her bicep. tight and firm (too tight, ritsuka thinks), the white fabric slowly being dyed a dark crimson as it staunches the flow.

despite this, she feels no gratefulness or relief. if anything, it puts the master further on alarm as she tugs her arm free, mind already debating if a gandr could stun her long enough to make a getaway.

"Oh. Prelati."

"I shouldn't be surprised you'd make your way to a place like this."

Even if it wasn't something he was entirely happy about, obvious reasons standing...his statement stood true. It felt like where chaos and confusion rested, it wasn't hard to find one of the two around. Of course, all things considered, this place wasn't that chaotic as far as he had seen but it wouldn't shock him if that changed.

Regardless of what had happened between them before, and his dislike of the other...it was probably for the best to at least somewhat cooperate to get more details. He was new here, after all.

"You did it, you ran after me, and you kidnapped my general, and then you went and said 'Power you need to kidnap a human', and then I did it, and then you ate me!" She's pointing emphatically, and then pausing.
