. . . If I had to say anything, it is simply that I am not used to being patted on the head—so I was somewhat startled. Still, I did not want to alarm you, so I did try to tone edown my reaction . . .
Is that so? But we're just making sure that your watch goes smoothly, aren't we? Having a drink will keep you warm, and having someone to talk to will keep you awake.
Because this is the least dangerous area, like you said, it isn't about fighting or anything like that, but finding a way to stay vigilant, right?

It's fine if you want to, or if that's just the way that you speak, but you don't need to be formal... of course I can understand you fine that way too, but if we're spending the night together then it's okay to relax your language at least, isn't it...? You don't need to feel nervous!
But you haven't misunderstood anything at all, have you?
You're really smart, so I'm sure you know - but if you're feeling lost, then I'll explain. But, Mister Shirou, as for the scandal... There's no one here besides us but the Lord, and He would be happiest if His home was a place where His children could relax peacefully, wouldn't He...?
Yet we must respect His house as well as Him, and respect those who might walk into a situation like this.
I thank you for the consideration, Miss Aradia, for it seems your intentions are nothing but good—still, it would be no good, for example, if you were to offer this of someone else.
You must better understand your position, as a servant of the Lord.

If you want, I'll pat you a lot more when I come back, okay?

It'll be easier to pass the night if we have something nice to drink, won't it?

By the way, I don't think I ever caught your name.

[ adjusting her veil a bit, one-handed - right. ]
I'm not very smart, so I forget to introduce myself a lot, or to ask for others' names... I'm Aradia! It's nice to meet you.

You should not so easily suggest that to men, especially in the house of God, lest your intentions be misunderstood.

That's what I think, at least.
