[So the man isn't easily goaded. It's a fact that has its advantages and disadvantages. Goading someone can be useful, but it's possible that if the man was less controlled, there would already have been blood shed. To take on a powerful Magus alone and directly isn't his usual method. Kiritsugu files the information on his captor away. El appears to intend to keep Kiritsugu here, unharmed and unbound, in spite of the clear danger he presents. There's a foolishness in that, but Kiritsugu himself could be said to be foolish for being so direct.
If Argyle had meant for Kiritsugu to kill El, he'd miscalculated. Kiritsugu considers himself no one's attack dog. If he does kill El, it will be for his own reasons, on his own time, once he has a clear idea of the situation and all parties involved. He'd be more likely to kill Argyle at this point, if such an action were within his power. To eliminate the head of the Academy--that would be an accomplishment.]
I believe in many things. I'm sure there are good people in every nation. I find they're not usually the most powerful.
[It's an insult, but it's delivered without much feeling. Kiritsugu is a man with emotions, but he doesn't display them often, especially not in a situation like this. He can turn off his feelings when need be. To miss his family or his home would only make him weaker and less able to return to them.
Left to his own devices--he'll have to scout out the building. He has a great deal to learn, a great deal to plan. He intends to gather as much information as possible. His hands want to move up to pull at the collar at his throat, but he restrains himself.]
I'll do that.
[He's already turning away from the man when he's asked for his name. He turns back.]
Kiritsugu Emiya. [There's no sense hiding his real name, if it's already known to the ones who brought him here. And after all, they have an unspoken agreement to be honest with each other. To an extent.]
[ooc: Sure, I'm fine with timeskipping. To whenever/wherever you think might be interesting. You know the world better, obviously! And I do enjoy shenanigans.]
