( amber ) backdated to second day of the journey

( ooc; after this exchange )


[The amber shows Saber's face. Her hair is still wet and dripping from her struggle with the fish, but her serious expression, hard gaze and cold voice is far more concerning to those who know her. She has never made this face since her arrival to the tree. Even if she has suppressed her ire, she is obviously displeased.]

Illyasviel. If you can hear me, we must speak immediately.

[She wishes to corroborate this and she's a day of journey away. Two Archer Cards and Gilgamesh mentioning them makes her draw the connection immediately.]

It is about that boy who stayed once.

[ A beat. ]

[ Another. A frown forming to go with this one. ]

...That's it?

[ Of course Pitch and Gil have met and of course they hit it off. ]

Gilgamesh, or rather Gil I suppose, said he intended to live as long as the body he currently had would last. If it's the same as mortal children? Give it a few years, and he'll be just what you remember. If it's not like mortal children, time may take care of this "enemy" for you.

[ What? It's only with Saber he gets this pragmatic. Little echoes of the General that Kozmotis was, once upon a time. ]

My urgency was corroborating his status from the world he came from. This is why I contacted Illyasviel to be aware of where he presently stands.

[ She is in a narrow vessel with him. She wants to be sure he is not genocidal. ]

I do not think you understand what I meant with "enemy". It is like your aversion to the golden light of the Life Stream.

[ He's her opposite, in other words, it's less about what they could be fighting over or not, and more about something deeper of what both embody. Of course, she has not heard the younger Gil's ideas of kingship, so her opinion cannot be revised. ]

[ Saber that is only making this more confusing. ]

You find him physically repellent?

[ Pitch has the mental image of two polarized ends of magnets trying to be forced together. Does this mean Saber and Gil fly apart in proximity of each other? ]

I suppose that is close to what I feel.

[ She does find him repellent in general. ]

He is my opposite in many ways.
