Welcome Back, Adventurers!

[thecanopycrew]

The wagons rolled in, the ship anchored, and the wayward journey has ended back at the tree.

After putting the sword where it now belongs inside the life Stream, it's time for a little award, isn't it?



Appearing outside the tree after the sword has been inserted is normal-sized slice of chocolate cake, enough to feed everyone in tree and more!

Come relax, talk about your adventures and catch up. Enjoy your victory!

[knight_king]

[She listens to his wording and she can make an educated guess.]

Dishes made by a specific person, then?

[She thinks about Shirou and Rin. The food they prepare is good but also there is warmth behind their cooking. She preferred it over the meals she ate during their date.]

I see. Perhaps one day you will have that option back.

[finallyfallen]

Maybe.

[It's not something he's hopefully on.]

[knight_king]

Do not look so glum.

[She shakes her head.]

We will return. I promise you this.

[finallyfallen]

Of course.

[That's only half the problem, of course, but he's not going to mention that.]

[knight_king]

Find your friend in the meantime.

[Even if Judar isn't a pleasant sort of person in her opinion, Ren esteems him, therefore he must find joy in spending time with him.]

Food tastes better when shared in good company.

[finallyfallen]

Yeah.

[Who knows the mischief he's getting up too...nothing too bad or he'd have heard it by now.]

Hopefully yours isn't too far off.

[knight_king]

[The tree is so changed in those weeks, the animals she has hoped to use as cattle are long gone too. This has thrown a wrench to her plans.]

I do not think he is.

[Shirou's not part of the missing people.]

[finallyfallen]

[Bugs won't last in the cold either, maybe something else will make the tree home?]

Then shouldn't you go ask whatever it is you wanted to ask?

[knight_king]

[She has planned to make use of the rabbits meat and fur. The news of their departure because of the difference in the time fluctuation annoy her greatly.]

Were you listening...?

[To what she uttered before he interrupted her.]

[finallyfallen]

[The proper answer here is 'no'. He knows that.]

You were muttering to yourself. Is there any more to it then that?

[Well, ok, he's not great at this social things, but it's an attempt at giving options.]

[knight_king]

[She looks flustered someone listened to her. She should have stayed quiet. She shouldn't blame him for accidentally catching up whatever she said.]

No. It was my mistake.

[finallyfallen]

....

[If she says so he's not going to pry into it. Secrets are secrets.]

Then there is no problem.

[knight_king]

[As long as he doesn't assume the same thing Nagi did. Even though she's still not sure what he meant in the first place.

She smiles relieved by his discretion.]

Yes, thank you for asking, nonetheless.

[finallyfallen]

[Do they even have that in his world?]

It's not often your upset.

[Not that he cares, exactly. He only has one friend, after all. He just likes talking to Saber.]

wow I pressed post comment accidentally!

[knight_king]

[It is better that some questions remain unanswered. His remark makes her feel ashamed. She does not often lose control of her emotions like that, but the news of Gilgamesh just put her in a foul mood.

She nods.]

I should have had more restrain. I apologize for any inconvenience I could have caused you.

[Even if he isn't worried, she cannot accept to become anyone's burden.]

Haha, sob this boy takes forever to accept anything...

[finallyfallen]

Why would it be an inconvenience?

[he likes Judar, gets along with him and grew up with him. Conversations tend to go all the same way, other friends though has ended poorly for him. (and let's face it, it's debatable who much of "friends" he and Judar are...at least if you ask them).]

People get upset, it's no trouble to unleash it.

[Seriously he held his in and it lead to war. Not a good outcome.]

it's fine!

[knight_king]

You are asking about it.

[If he is asking, it must mean it has been relevant enough to address it, even if it is worthless and insignificant. She simply is not used for people to ask about her mood.

It makes her uneasy they can tell she is upset.]

Yes, people do.

[but a king is not a person. At least not the type of king she is supposed to be.]

[finallyfallen]

I was curious, you are very collected otherwise.


Are you not a person?

[knight_king]

[That is enough to be a concern, specially from someone who does not know her too well.]

That is correct. I am Saber after all.

[She answers somewhat vaguely even if she does not meant to. But as a Servant, she is more a tool than a person, even without her own complications as King.]

[finallyfallen]

[He has put his goals above everything else, but even as a emperor, this makes no sense to him. Is saber not human? He's trying to think of other things that could mean. Saber is not a person, because of being saber? or she is some kind of weapon? A requirement of the name, maybe? Or is it a title?]

...?

[knight_king]

It is just how it is.

[Saber states. She is not sure if she should say anything more, unless he asks directly. Nagi is a magus, so she could be more open with him. She also knew he would not leave her be unless she explains him what is wrong. He is that obnoxious.]

[finallyfallen]

[As tempted as he is too ask about the strange remark, secrets are secrets. Saber hasn't pried into any of his.(not that he's been very forth coming with them.]

It is.

[knight_king]

My sincerest apologies. I am simply not used to express myself.

[She is grateful for his discretion, that is why she offers that explanation to dismiss the topic. She folds her hand and offers a shallow bow.]

I shall take my leave now, Ren. Have a good day.

[finallyfallen]

I'd better go look for Judar.

Farewell, Saber.

[He's going to have to get used to talking with people if he's going to really lead his country.]
