Saber nodded and walked toward the door, waiting for Illya to join her. She would leave Shirou to his daily domestic routine and had her conversation with the girl where they would not be disturbed. She opened the door for the girl and made a head motion so she would go first.

"After you," she told her, holding the door so she would walk out. Saber closed the door and followed her in silence until their spot at mist barrier by the back of the tree she had chosen. It was probably, aside of the rot tunnels, the most private location she could think of. Folding the wings she had previously spread, she glanced at the girl… she did not see Ruby near, so she was satisfied by their illusion of privacy.

"As a magus, you have probably noticed the signs of my fatigue since I returned from the quest," she started, not correcting the term magus and replacing it for 'magical girl'. She was looking better now she ate and rest plenty. "I had spent some of my prana reserves, that is why I looked weary."

She hoped she understood what she was implying. She needed someone who would provide her magical energy.
