(Nods solemnly, seating himself and awkwardly resting the scissors in his lap.)
Mm, a wise caveat on your part. Involvement at this juncture, even tangentially so, would entail a marked risk to my Master's life, would it not?

Yeah, its' just paranoia of when the first time two of our post-sol civilizations clash will be.
It'll happen eventually.
I'm sure it will- everyone's paranoid about it, so it'll end up being a 'preemptive strike' because one of us decided that another one had too many weapons for its' own security.

Miyu. Listen to me. Since there is no active Grail War, my duty is to protect us. If we—If we entangle ourselves in this affair, I fear it will put you and I in danger. From how this "Red Winter" is described, it sounds like we would be biting off more than we could chew if we pursued the Assassin and Caster.

What's that you have, Cloud? Can I see?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Looks at her like she just called his grandma a whore.)
Ghh—... Master. Miyu. What of you? The whole reason I am even here—... I am here to protect you. If I allow you to make us partake in this thing, and that rat bastard gets his hands on you... Listen, you have your entire life ahead of you, my dear. You are a young woman with what is undoubtedly a bright future... Do you seriously wish to jeopardize that?
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...The last time there was a Holy Grail War, everyone was telling me to stay away and be a bystander. Leave it all to the adults, people kept telling me. Leave it to the people who can actually fight.
And, do you know what happened? People died. People died, and I could have prevented their deaths if Tohsaka didn't treat me like a kid. I could have... I could have saved...
(as she grimaces, she clenches her fist tighter, to the point that her nails start to dig into her skin)
...This time, I'm going to fight. You want to protect me, don't you? Then fight along with me. Hiding isn't going to protect anyone, and it's going to be too late for us and everyone else if we become cowards.
And, if you don't... (tilts her head towards Babbage) ...then I guess I'm going to have to fight on my own. Without my Servant, and not as a Master.

Ah...
My home hasn't even met extra-terrestrial life that could invade us, yet.
