Crouching Taiga, Hidden Dragon

The morning is busy as always in the Emyia household. Sakura's there as always to help with preparing the morning meal. She wasn't too hard to talk to about Rider. The one who's going to be the problem is...

The front door nearly bursts open, "HI SHIROU!" Taiga shouts. Taiga Fujimura. "I hope you're preparing something delicious to eat and WHAAAATTT!?" Taiga's jaw drops and eyes widen as she sees Rider. She's over to you in a flash. "Shirou Emiya, I look away for one second and now there's a strange woman in your house? You'd better have a damn good explanation for this or .." Taiga is cut off by the calmness of Rider's voice. Shirou was wise to prepare Rider for Taiga's arrival. "Ah, you must be Fujimura-san. Shirou told me about you. As you can no doubt see, I am blind and was in need of assistance. Shirou offered to help and gave me a place to stay."

"Wellll, that does sound like Shirou alright. But I've got my eye on you and if you try one thing..!" Rider once again interrupts Taiga with a small box. "Allow me to present this to you as a sign of my good will." "I don't know what you think.." Taiga begins as she opens the box. Inside are a few dumplings, still steaming. "Ha, a few dumplings aren't going to dissuade.." She pops one in to her mouth and chews.

Taiga's eyes open wide. "MEee!???" She scarfs down the rest of the dumplings. "Those are really great! Some of the best dumplings I've ever eaten! If you can cook like that, you're more than welcome!" Taiga's mood changes instantly as she sits at the breakfast table.

The food is plentiful, especially with a big eater like Taiga. "So what's your name?" Taiga asks between mouthfuls of rice. It's really a miracle she can talk at all with how fast she eats. "All my friends call me Rider." Rider says as she gently eats. Taiga eyes Rider, "Well you'd better eat up before I do!" You laugh. "She's not kidding. Please, eat your fill." Rider nods and helps herself to more food.

The rest of the breakfast goes as usual and it time to go to school. "Ah, thanks for the breakfast Shirou! Let's get going, class starts soon!" Taiga jumps up with a ton of energy and head towards the door. You look like you're ready to go but Rider stops you with a hand. "Actually Taiga I am new to this house and require assistance today until I learn the layout. I was hoping Shirou could stay and assist me."

Taiga thinks about it. "Well.... Okay. I'll dismiss you from class today and send Sakura with your assignment later. But you'd better be at class tomorrow!" You nod. "Okay, thanks Taiga." Taiga and Sakura head out the door leaving you and Rider alone in the house.
