[Video; Filtered to Saber]

Hey, Saber, where are you? I got back to Goldenrod City a few hours ago, but you weren't at the breeding center. Are you still in the city?

Can I ask a favor of somebody? I know it's not even Valentine's Day yet, but I'd like to ask if I can borrow someone's kitchen for making White Day chocolate. One of the people who I think is making chocolate for me has a really big appetite, so I'm going to need a head start. I'm in Goldenrod City, so it has to be someone who's there.

You do? Besides me, you mean?

Yes, a young girl by the name of Xion. I have grown rather fond of her and she requests my aid. Ah.. I will even have to pick up on Merlin's duties as well. With the masquerade coming up..

[ She trails off as she loses herself in thought. ]

Saber, let me help. I can help with the masquerade.

No. You ought to be able to enjoy the festivities without having to concern yourself with work.

... You do plan to attend, do you not?

Of course. But Saber, I want to help. It's times like this that friends need to be there for each other.

Times like what?

[ Sorry, did she say she was suffering out loud? Nope? Then guess who's going to cover it right up. ]

Saber, you're upset. It's totally understandable, so you're upset.

Besides, don't forget...I've been through this.

I am not. Merlin would never intentionally upset me, so why would I allow something out of his control to do so? He would be rather disappointed in me if I were to falter under such circumstances.

[ Even if he's returned to his death, she can't help but know that feeling all too well. The two were on borrowed time, both long deceased if they were to return home. ]

Yes, but she is waiting for you to return home.

That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Intent isn't everything. Saber, if you need to let it out, just do so. It's healthier than bottling it up.

And how long is that going to take? I'm stuck here until the weather cooperates, and even if I get the next two badges, then what? The Elite Four aren't accepting challenges yet. I have no idea how long I'm going to be stuck here.

[ Well, he's asking for it. For a moment, her expression falters. Enough that she recognizes that and quickly places the PokeGear face down into her lap so that he can't see her face. ]

The point I am trying to make is at least the two of you will be together once more. Merlin and I.. we never will again, Shirou. We are both dead. We are both from different Camelots. Our paths shall never cross again. If you wish for me to focus on this fact instead of doing what is right, then very well.

...Ah. I. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rub that in.

My apologies. I should have not gotten upset over it.

I will be in Goldenrod City soon enough, Shirou.

It's okay. As long as you get here I'll be happy.

[ Well, as long as she can make Shirou happy.. ]

Do not worry. I will not keep you waiting for long.
