[ Gray can't say she's surprised by the extreme ultimatum. It seems to her that warrior Servants seem the most satisfied settling things with their fists... or swords, as it were. ]
Alright. You wanted to fight.
[ Words won't help this situation any further. In a way, this is easier for Gray too; trying to navigate a complicated situation verbally just isn't her forte.
Even so, it isn't wise of her to fight a Servant alone. If she were thinking of her survival in a strict sense, she'd call on someone like Rin, who might be able to persuade Mordred to back off, or Quetzalcoatl, who would be an ideal match for Mordred. But Rin delaying this confrontation or Quetzalcoatl acting as Gray's champion wouldn't address the core of Mordred's complaints. At best, her complaints would only be buried to fester further.
Better take care of this now. It's a bit hypocritical of Gray, who just said she'd ask for help if she were in a life-threatening situation, but she isn't interested in running away from Mordred. Running away from Mordred might actually be the worst thing she could do. At the very least, Gray is far from defenseless.
She unsticks from the counter and moves to leave the house, the teapot left to cool on the counter. ]
