the king should not be a person!

[knight_king]

I do not know what "PMS" stands for, but it is no laughing matter you inflicted this curse on me!

[she truly misses her holy sheath and the discomforts that she evaded while she ruled Britain.]

[imabarbarianrawr]

So what is it?

[knight_king]

I do not know. It sounds unpleasant.

[imabarbarianrawr]

It sounds like something you out on food.

[knight_king]

My mundane would not ruin my meals. [Or would she?] She knows how much I enjoy a well-made meal.

[imabarbarianrawr]

Then maybe it's a magical spell?

[knight_king]

That is just ridiculous. I am supposed to have magic resistance against spells and curses and yet I am as weak as normal [girl, she grimaces.] citizen in this heretical island.

[imabarbarianrawr]

So maybe it's not magic?

[He's not exactly the most helpful gnome around.]

[knight_king]

No, it is the consequence of a magic. But it is something that should not have happened.

[Judging from her nigh-hysterical laughter, it seems a certain Einzbern disagrees with that assessment.]

[knight_king]

[Fantastic. A sure way to boost her morale.]

[knight_king]

Are you finished, Ilyasviel?

[dressofheaven]

J-just a moment.

[She takes a few deep breaths, and her guffawing subsides.

Then she gives Saber one of her best "I know something you don't know" smiles.]

You really have no idea what's happening to you?

...

[If looks could kill, this glare is certainly murderous, but she will not attack a girl without her Servant.]

[knight_king]

Do you take me for a fool?

[A scoff. She doesn't know the details, but she has an inkling.]

I was married to a woman once.

[dressofheaven]

[Saber, Iri would be so mad at you.]

Oh. See, it's slightly less funny now that I know you do sort of know what's going on.

I was thinking you actually thought it was a real curse.

[knight_king]

[She'll apologize if she knew and feel horrible and bad about it.]

...I didn't say I knew.

[She has a general idea. She simply never cared to ask Guinevere about this. She figured out she'll handle herself. What a horrible husband.]

It is a curse! I am not supposed to be a person!

[dressofheaven]

[That'll go over real well. "Irisviel, I believe I may have decapitated your daughter. My sincerest apologies."]

Awwww, poor Saber. Looks like you'll have to learn how to live like an actual human being.

[Said the homunculus.]

[mage_killer]

You'll get used to it.

[What?]

[knight_king]

Kiritsugu?

[mage_killer]

Yes, is something wrong?

[knight_king]

My apologies, but... have you always been a woman?

[mage_killer]

Of course I've always been a woman. Why would you ask something like that?

[knight_king]

My sincerest apologies. The Kiritsugu I know was male.

[Who barely addressed her. This seems like an improvement.]

[mage_killer]

Really? That is strange.
