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.]

Good. Best of luck until I get back.

Please do not keep yourself from me for too long. [ There's a hint of something different in her voice, as though she was strained to say that much. After losing Merlin while away from his side, she's grown a bit more attached to those she doesn't wish to lose. ] And check up with me regularly if you could.

I will. You'll hear from me plenty between now and my return. I promise.

Mm. [ She'll agree with a tiny nod, accepting his promise with just that. ]

Okay, then let's return to the ground. I should get going.

Right, you should. There are people waiting for you. [ Even if she's been waiting longer, the solitude is something she's used to. Besides, speaking up about how she feels is unheard of for her. ] Have you everything packed?

I do. I'm ready to go at the drop of a hat. I just need to go get my bags from my hotel room and go.

[ All she has to do is beg him to not leave her. All she has to do is open her mouth and ask him to give her enough time to pack. Easily, she can abandon everything here and stick to the only thing she's come to know as reliable should she find the courage. ]

Right. [ A nod. ] You do not need me to keep anything with me while you travel, do you?

No. I'm able to carry everything.

And you have packed enough food, correct?

[ Next she'll ask if he packed clean underwear. ]

I've got enough. It's not like I need a whole lot since I'm flying, though.

And your clothing? You brought enough? Do we need to purchase more?

Saber, I'm fine. You sound like you're trying to be my mother.

[ No, she'll be his father once she hooks up with Iri EYEBROW WAGGLE. ]

Was I? [ Now she feels a tad bit guilty. ] My apologies.

[Never. KIRI 4 LYF]

It's okay. I'm just happy that you care about me that much.

[ Saber would make a cooler dad. Just saying. ]

R-Right! [ It totally wasn't her way of trying to make him linger a bit more in Goldenrod City or anything. ] You should hurry then, yes?

Yeah. Dainsleif, take us down.

[The Drifblim begins its descent. As it does, Shirou leans in to give Saber another hug.]

Take care of yourself.

[ Someone's not going to let go of him easily. That may just be what gives away her sudden fear as her fingers dig in just a bit too deeply. ]

I will so long as you do the same, Shirou.

I will. Tohsaka and Sakura are counting on me.

[And it's because he's on a tight schedule that he says nothing for now. But he absolutely will say something later.]

Go then. [ She'll release him from her own embrace. ] Rin will be displeased if you keep her waiting much longer.
