Thirty-First Projection

[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?

[Video; Filtered from Saber]

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.

It certainly is. Was I not the one insistent you return and when you do, I am not there? One might think me rude.

But I know you better than that. I knew that if you weren't here, that you had your reasons. And from what Lancer told me, you had a good reason.

It was anything but a good reason, Shirou. [ Her voice strains momentarily, but she covers it up with a light cough, a hand over her mouth to muffle such. ] The weather looks well for quick travel, so we will rush back to Goldenrod City.

[ ... ]

If you need a place to stay, ask Souji to sleep in my room. It is currently unoccupied. [ Because there's no way he'll believe that Saber shared a room with more than one man, right?? ] Unless Kanji has returned.. No, he would have told me. So I am certain it is unoccupied. If there is a mess there, you have my apologies. I could not arrange it for your liking.

Saber, anything done for a friend who needs it is a good reason. Don't push yourself too hard.

Don't worry, it's fine. I can sleep in the hotel -- it's what I'm used to now.

So you have spoken with Lancer.

[ And now she expects to be scolded for punching the man right about now.. ]

Yeah, he called me right before you did.

...What's wrong?

[GUESS WHAT LANCER CONVENIENTLY FORGOT TO TELL SHIROU?]

.. I attacked him.

[ Well, if he failed to tell Shirou, Saber will just have to make things right by telling him herself. What is her inability to keep anything from her Master (other than her identity)? ]

Edited (Wow, the meaning completely changed with a single wrong letter!!) 2012-02-11 20:28 (UTC)

--Wait, what? Why'd you do that?

[ Because he deserved it. ]

He was being honest with me.

...It'd still have to be something really severe for you to lose your temper and hit him.

[Unless he denied her food -- but Lancer can't cook.]

He told me my beloved was gone.

Wait, you punched him for that? Or was he totally tactless?

[Like, "You just saved yourself an eight-mile round-tripper."]

...Wait. Wait wait. "Beloved?"

No, he had been in the right. [ Believe it or not, Saber was in the wrong in this situation, Shirou. His lil Servant is all grown up, punching people and getting tossed into piles of snow... ] Yes, my beloved. I did not stutter.

So. Wait. You and Merlin were...uh.

Seeing each other?

[Yes, he is fixated on that.]

[ Her Master's reaction is interesting. So much that it brings a confident smirk to her own face. ]

Yes. Merlin and I are in love.

When, uh. When did this happen?

A few months ago. I would take him as my que--[ Saber cuts herself short when she realizes what she was about to say, her cheeks flushed. ]--I mean, we could have been betrothed and I would have not minded it one bit!

Then...then how did I not know about this? I mean, i-if you were that close...

[He doesn't sound angry or accusatory. Just flustered.]

You never inquired about it.

[ The whole traveling and not being around often part doesn't need to be said either. ]

I...I guess that's fair.

[Okay, that's enough. This is probably just hurting her.]

Do you want me to ride out to meet you?

I will ride with Lancer to return soon enough, Shirou. There is no need for you to go to such lengths to meet up with us. [ Unless he wants to. She can hardly deny him of anything that's not stupid. ] It should not take us too long. I have someone waiting for me in Goldenrod City after all.

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?
