[Kerra trails off for a moment, thinking on the statement and it's implications. She was entirely certain that wasn't a thing that could happen to people in her Galaxy, but a statement like that does make her consider something. What if they could? Would Servants from her home only be Jedi, or would there be Sith as well?
Had her enemies ever done good? Could the Sith ever do anything that wasn't inherently bad? It's a philosophical gundark warren she doesn't want to go down, but it's one she cannot avoid.
It leaves her silent, but she shakes her head, looking down at her fashionable companion, smile returning.]
...That's a good way of thinking about it. Or, for it to work, I suppose.
[ She maintains her smile, and if she noticed anything different about Kerra's expression, she's not making a mention of it. ]
So far, it's been working splendidly. It was mostly thanks to Chaldea's technology that made summoning multiple Servants possible. Traditionally, a Master can only summon one Servant for each war, or at least that's what the rules dictated.
[ Her tone suddenly turns somber. There is no mincing words when the situation really is bad over there. ]
There are, and have been, a load of threats to humanity. People who aimed at the extinction of the entire race. Something a handful of Servants won't be able to fight against, so that's why the system was put in place.
[ She smiles bitterly. ] Instead of a Holy Grail War, it's a collective series of battles to survive and save the world. It's pretty much that.

[But it's nothing too outlandish, either. Not when there are machines that integrate quite well with the Force.]
For what purpose? Just to have Servants around?

[Kerra asks, quietly, not wanting to risk upsetting her new friend.]
There's some poetry in that.

Perhaps it sounds like something people would romanticize or write stories about. After all, there are already many of those available for read.

Heroes saving the world make good stories.

We've almost arrived. I don't mind it if you give my bags back now, since my apartment is a short distance away.

[No problem at all!]
no subject
Thank you again for the favour! I shall no doubt contact you sometime for more talking if you're up to it.

[Kerra salutes quickly, and takes off!]

[ With a cheerful, singing tone of voice, she waves Kerra goodbye and retires to her apartment, a slight bounce to her steps. ]
