Thirty-Second Projection

[Video; filtered to Saber and Lancer]

Saber, Lancer, I'm going to be leaving Goldenrod City for a little while. I'm flying out to New Bark Town to pick up Tohsaka and Sakura, and we might not come back here. If either of them are trainers, we'll probably go to Violet City first, then Azalea Town, then back to Goldenrod. But don't worry, we'll be back as soon as we can.

...Oh, and Saber, would you like to come?

[Action; New Bark Town]

[Suddenly, something blots out the sun for a few seconds. Overhead is a Charizard, which appears to be circling around for a landing. Suddenly, it decides to descend, then slows down as it reaches the ground, landing a little heavily. Its trainer then slides off its back. He's here for two girls, and he will find them.]

You said you wished to speak in private and I am giving you the invitation to do so. I really fail to understand what is you are getting at.

Saber, look, that usually implies...uh...

...

bed.

Do you need to borrow my bed then?

No no NO! What I mean is. When a boy and a girl.

Um.

Share a bed.

...And everything that entails.

You have a girlfriend and I am spoken for. No one will think ill of us walking into a room together, Shirou.

That still leaves the people who don't know us!

But my reputation--!!

There are people here who've never heard of your reputation, you know.

They would be honored if they did! A king should not be placed on the same level as a whore, Shirou.

[ Just going to try to change the subject now. ]

Would you like me to walk with you to the border of the city?

I don't think that's going to be private enough.

[He latches on to this change of subject hard.]

Unless you want to drown out our discussion?

Then where do you suggest? Up in the sky?

[ She's running out of ideas here. ]

How are we supposed to do that?

With a Pokemon!

[ She's gotten really good at it, Shirou. ]

...

...I do have a basket that Dainsleif can carry...

And no one else would be around to hear.

Okay. Let's do that.

Right now? [ She doesn't seem to have anything else better to do with her time. ] Let us.

[And soon enough they're int he sky, sitting in a Drifblim-carried basket.]

Okay. About that organization you're in.

[ YAY FREE BASKET RIDES FOR TWO. ]

Yes, what of it?

How'd you get involved?

It was something Merlin was passionate about. We often exchanged words regarding it and those who are investigating Team Rocket. [ Her voice is quiet, almost distant when she speaks of the man. ] We are trying to get more organized in his absence. I am one of the few stationed in Goldenrod City that others can come to for protection and other things. This is why I am so reluctant to leave.

Besides, I had a taste of Team Rocket when they attacked us on the train. I cannot stand idly by while such a criminal organization seeks to terrorize the good people here.

Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. You've got a really good point.

...When I get back, can you introduce me to whoever's in charge now?

I think I will push for a leadership role myself, Shirou. [ That's just like her and all. ] It may be for the best that I am not as well-versed as the others. I can easily give the impression that I am a commander and paint a target on my head, leaving others to work without fear of their lives.

Of course I will though. Anything you ask of me, Shirou, I shall do. So long as it makes sense.

Good. Because I've seen what Team Rocket can do, too. And not taking part in the fight back isn't an option. I could never face Archer...or my dad.

[ Can we not discuss the dad part? Saber's going to glance out towards the sky in response. ]

Right. I suppose I could allow you to participate so long as you kept yourself out of trouble.
