[There's a slight, sympathetic smile at that, which carries over to the tone of his voice.]
Revealing your own identity should always be your own choice. I'm sorry you had no say in it.
[He knew some servants were very protective of their names. Rider didn't seem like the type, but it would have probably still be nice to do it on her own terms.]
I did want to ask. Did you find out my identity in your version of the war?
[She certainly wasn't eager for all of Ellipsa to know her identity as a monster, but...it was what it was. Either way, she appreciated the apology, making a small sound of acceptance before she focused on his question.]
...I had strong suspicions of it.
[What happened when he died to save Shirou- that pretty much settled it for her, but she'd had no intentions on asking Archer herself, content to leave it as his private business.]
[No elaboration on the point though- given how he reacted to hearing of his own death to save Shirou the last time, she knew better than to bring up details of her timeline.]
...I have no real preferences as to how you refer to me, but which name would you rather I use for you? When others are not around, of course.
[Even if he did want her to call him by his true name, she obviously wasn't going to do so in the presence of people who didn't know it!]

My true name... is Emiya.
[He doesn't specify it as Shirou Emiya. That's a name he's abandoned a long time ago. It was just Emiya now.]
