[the way that Illya changed the way she called him had barely registered to him. but it was enough to narrowly catch his attention when he could hear the struggle within her voice. he was making this worse. he knew that he was- but if he didn't do something...!]
Grr..
[but he couldn't risk anything happening to Illya. that was right. if anything, he could at least do this for now. though it's second nature to him, Shirou's hand does hold onto Illya's tighter now as Saber carries them back. she really was amazing; even without being back home, she was still loyal to him...or rather, that wasn't proper to think either. even if she carried a vow to him to protect him, she was a knight who would protect anyone who needed her help. she understood... it was frustrating that he submitted like this, but as he held onto Illya for dear life as they crossed the tree threshold and moved up to their door, he also understood. with a thunderous boom and a lightning flash, once Shirou realized that they were inside where they were safe, he carefully let go of Illya's hand]
...you can put me down now, Saber. [was he trembling from the cold? or from something else?]
