"Coming right away!" Roman happily reaches for the cup and disappears briefly into the kitchen area. When he returns, now also carrying two slices of strawberry cake (because he can easily match the King of Knights' appetite if let loose), he gives it back to Lord El-Melloi II.
He seats himself back and hears all about the missing fragment of the puzzle. He's about to ask his name and tell him that maybe they can just summon this Servant, but he doesn't think that'll solve his anxiety. It's about a memory of an irreplaceable moment.
"There are times Masters and Servants are just a contractual relationship," Roman says, nodding slowly. "But other times, there's a bond forge enough to mark and change one or both of them for a lifetime. You shouldn't feel ashamed of that, Lord El-Melloi II. I know what you must be feeling."
He stops, hurriedly stabbing the strawberry on the cake topping to chomp it down. He's got caught in the moment and said something he shouldn't. But hopefully, the other man doesn't pick that up.
