on the new Fate/Stay Night anime by ufotable

[knight_king]

You seem unsatisfied with the contents divulged so far. Why are you so anxious about learning more details about this project? Honestly, it is unwise to be impatient when all your doubts will be answered a handful of months from now.

Hm. Though, I must say it is frankly disheartening to be aware that out all the paths you wish for this new story to take, you have always preferred the one I am forced to endure unsightly levels of corruption. [Sorry, Saber, but HF is still your mun's favorite route. Saber sighs.]

Even so, it gladdens me to know that -no matter what my conclusion will be- my Master shall carry on happily with the path he has chosen.

Even if it means you aren't happy?

[knight_king]

Yes, my happiness is not important. [ The mud is worrisome, but at least she did not make a wish to that Grail. ]

[lifewithnoconsequence]

[Hey, the only one who gets to feel self-deprecating here is Krebs.]

I might care to disagree. But I don't think I got any room to do so. On account of the fact that I don't know nothing about you. What is this Grail thing about?

[Video games do not exist yet for him.]

[knight_king]

[Arturia does not perceive herself as a person to matter. Britain will be fine, at least she has thought so.]

Have you never heard about the Holy Grail? I thought it was somewhat famous.

[Ignoring all the personal discussion, she uses the Grail full title before she reluctantly adds.]

It was supposed to be an omnipotent wish granter.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

The cup that collected Christ's blood? I have....though your description is a lot different from the one I know.

[So yes he has, but he has no clue about anything in the Fate/ 'verse.]

[homomculous]

I'm... so torn. That path is the darkest for you, Saber, and yet... It seems to be the only one Ilya's allowed any closure in.

Even if it's... such a sad one. Still, after how our war ended I suppose that was the only option.

[knight_king]

Yes, that is a Holy Grail. It is a device that is capable of miracles, so many seek it.

[knight_king]

Irisviel...

[...Her tragic but brave princess should not feel so torn. She feels guilty for bringing this topic up now.]

[knight_king]

There is a possibility that this version will follow none of the paths. There is, in that second image, a new project announced in addition to the adaptation.

My mundane hopes it will be the announcement of "Fate/Hollow Ataraxia". Illyasviel should be safe if that is the case.

[homomculous]

Well, that would be the best option, if it's possible.

As long as it isn't the one where that golden-armored monster...

[And she can't finish.]

[knight_king]

Gilgamesh.

[She almost spats the word.]

I do not think that is the path this will take. Shirou has all his Command Spells when he speaks to the priest at the Church. He spent one to stop me from striking Archer in that particular scenario.

[homomculous]

Yes.

[And that's all she has to say about that. Her poor girl...]

I see... then I can rest at least a little easier.

[knight_king]

My sincerest apologies, Irisviel, I did not know she was your daughter.

[She grits her teeth and tenses. Another failure piling over her past ones.]

[homomculous]

[Blink. Blink.]

Not... to be insulting or anything, Saber, but how is that possible? You did see her, even if you were never actually introduced, and I know you knew her name...

[timelesshero]

Corruption?

But why would she want to see this happen to you?

[knight_king]

I did not learn her name during my stay and she was a young child. [She looks away. She had only watched the child and Kiritsugu play too far to listen their conversation.] I assumed that your daughter would look older than Shirou and this Master was a new Homunculus based on you.

[knight_king]

Yes, "All Evils of the World."

Because I am not her main source of interest in my "canon".

[homomculous]

Ah, but... I really never told you her name? How neglectful of me.

... I suppose I can understand your confusion over her age, though. She grew so slowly, her true age was at least twice how she looked.

[timelesshero]

"All Evils of the World". [could this be something that even he could repel? with his mun tossing him this lady's way, even if he didn't know her, if he could help in some way...]

She's more interested in a...darker side of you?

[knight_king]

Your mind was preoccupied elsewhere, Irisviel. It was my mistake. I should have asked her name.

Yes, my child, Mordred, was a Homunculus too and her growing was accelerated. I did not know her aging would be halted. Even so, it was my responsibility. I should have questioned her when she attacked us.

You familiar with Nostalgia Critic at all?

[soyoudonthaveto]

Yeah. First off (faces me) Mun, why'd you pick me at the moment (faces Saber)?
Second, what exactly did your Mundane read that was so damn important or disconcerting?

[homomculous]

Mordred was a...? Well, I suppose she must have been, given her parentage. Still, it wasn't your fault, either. It was a pile up of little things that added to a great misunderstanding.

Besides... I somehow doubt that knowing the truth would have made her less hostile towards you, given what Grandfather must have told her about her father after we failed.

[knight_king]

That is what I said. You should ask your mundane, he should know the details more than I do.

...No, she simply desires to see this story animated.

Yes!

[knight_king]

Are you familiar with Second Magic?

[Yes, Saber, start with the Nasu Jargon.]

[knight_king]

[She will only nod once when speaking of Mordred, she will not bring up that child again.]

Her hostility would not have stopped me from trying to protect her. I was too consumed with my obsession with the Grail to notice what should have been evident.
