elf was quite certain that only shirou could have come up with such a bone headed idea, but it was actually pretty simple to prove just the opposite, that it was a classic goof up girl moment. Elf wasn’t happy about that.
if you are curious, the reason you can tell it was a rin idea is rin and shirou respond differently to the other one having a bad idea. And going to the love hotel was definitely a bad idea. They both have houses, privacy was not a concern.
So, When shirou has a bad idea, rin dresses him down, explains each and every problem with shirou’s dumb idea, then sits there looking smug.
when Rin has a bad idea, shirou nods along placidly, inwardly monologues about how adorable rin is, then let’s her keep doing whatever silly thing she was just doing. If shirou had come up with the idea of going to a love hotel, rin would have gotten anxious, chided him for suggesting wasting money, and walked off in an embarrassed huff.
but if rin had blurted out the idea, shirou would have kept his thoughts to himself because he thinks silly-rin is moe as hell and he might be about to get laid if he kept his mouth shut.
seeing as how they had actually got to the room before hijinks started, that’s almost assuredly exactly what happened.
