->'''Nymeria Martell:''' You're making yourself quite endearing to me, quite arduous to kill. To deprive the world of such a budding prospect because of a rotten twist of the fates. Perhaps... Tell me, boy. How would you feel coming with me?\\
'''Shirou Emiya:''' Wha...? Why would...? You want to kill me...\\
'''Nymeria Martell:''' I do not wish to end your life, boy. I'm purely doing what I was instructed to do. That's why I'm presenting you with this opportunity. So I won't have to.\\

A man of his character seems to have an eye for your kind of innate ability.
