I guess, but if I wasn't here, you'd be pretty much mermaid chow.
[...Should he be saying things as casually as "mermaid chow" to a literal saint? Maybe not. Hansa lets her kick free, releasing his grip so that he can turn back to the mermaids - but they're already receding into the water, their eyes almost burning with hatred at the fact that their prey got away. He lets out a huff - ah, well. Next time, he could face those things.]
Next time, you really should have someone spotting you before you pull off something like this.
[Well, she's right. She's a Servant. If she wanted, she could easily tear her limb from limb. Her power is far beyond his - in the end, he's just a human weapon made by man. Heroic Spirits are on another level entirely.]
I won't. [He doesn't just apologize to anyone, but...] My apologies.
Thank you for your concern. I will admit I should have tried something else first, but I am not someone who's never seen battle. Mermaids are not what will kill me today or tomorrow.
[ She may no longer have all the powers afforded to a Servant and especially of a Ruler, but she is a Heroic Spirit for a reason. ]
I have something I must return to and that I must see through. Please don't think I will throw my life away so easily.
[ His reaction makes her smile a little. It's a little amusing that he'd be so thrown off by that combination when there's no doubt just abnormal situations with his war. ]
Yes. He is all three. He was a Servant from the previous Holy Grail War, and he had the means and a way to become part of the church and find a catalyst for the current war.
[ That's as much as she could extrapolate from her revelation and from her first meeting with him. ]

I would have been fine.
[ She's firm in that. She may be more scratched up, but she would've been able to get free. ]
Please don't underestimate me.

[He's already seen that Servants are still powerful here, but he can't help but think that even they must be limited, somehow.]
...Is that something you have to return to your Grail War?

Please believe me when I say it's not my goal to treat this body without care.
[ Even if mermaids make her seem reckless. ]
I have to see through to the end of the decision I've made. I have to stop someone's wish from being realized.

[Hm?]
A Master's wish?

An overseer from the church and a Master.
[ A beat. ]
And a Servant.

[How does that even WORK?]
[Hansa mutters, something probably like "really? REALLY?" but he just heaves out a sigh. Things could be weirder. Things could always be weirder.]
Who was the mage that was providing him enough mana to survive past a Holy Grail War? You can't tell me he was supplying his own mana, somehow.
