[unreachableutopia]

Must you persist in your quest for a suitable "home"? While I applaud an unyielding spirit, you don't need to bother on my behalf. I refuse to acknowledge any kingdom that is not my own as such!

[A lengthy pause. Sorry, Saber but the application is finished.]

Kuh-! You do not have any shame? Do not take me lightly! As a King, I will not comfort to the whims of anyone.

[He's just gonna sit over here, smirking.]

Issues with your mundane, Saber?

[unreachableutopia]

I thought I was clear, Archer.

[Don't mind her getting all grumpy.]

[wroughtironhero]

Consider your mun your new Master with an unlimited amount of Command Spells.

[He'd say something about Saber's mun being way more competent than Shirou but he'll bite his tongue for now.]

[eighteen_winters]

It could be worse, Saber. Your mun could be subjecting you to endless smut.

[unreachableutopia]

Ilyasviel...

[Even if she's being taken from the UBW route in that game, it doesn't mean she doesn't know thanks to her mundane.

It makes her avert her gaze. How is she going to explain this to her mother?]

Yes, that is unnecessary concern. She already has another 'character' of what she calls our 'fandom' for that humiliating role.

[eighteen_winters]

I feel bad for whoever got that role, because I'm the one my mun usually throws into those kind of circumstances.

[fortheworldtosee]

I highly doubt these mundanes of ours know the meaning of the word "shame". [She chuckles.] I can't tell if it's pathetic or admirable!

[... That's sort of hypocritical coming from a lady with a see-through skirt.]

[unreachableutopia]

Of course they don't. It seems like a waste of breath to bring this up, but it would be a good idea if they learned some moderation.

[She has met plenty of Neros before. Thus, she does not even bother to point out her scandalous exhibitionism.]

[unreachableutopia]

[A minstrel?]

You are mistaken, bard. This is not an aspiration of mine. I am indeed a king who has ruled Britain since I pulled the sword from the stone until my death.

[puppy_lancer]

...You're going to have a kingdom.

[Nope, not much symapthy here.]

[unreachableutopia]

I think you are mistaken, Lancer. I would be a mere guest of honor of the current ruler, Queen Rhapsody.

[puppy_lancer]

Yeah, but you're a guest. And the Queen sounds like a nice person.

[A.k.a not Jason.]

As far as RPs go, you could end up in a worse one.

Easy tags.

[unreachableutopia]

...Oh.

[The last person she wanted to see again, after Gilgamesh.]

CHEATING

[unreachableutopia]

Kiritsugu. [Harsh.] Will you ever tire of this childish attitude?

[childofthenocturne]

Look at the positive side, Saber: no more hotel. How bad could a place like that be anyway?

[unreachableutopia]

...Uh, that is true, but- I had hoped I would be retired from this person's imagination.

[The duty of the king never ends. Woe.]

[ex_reliquaries365]

Mn, Saber, I've been thinking, you know...! Maybe "home" doesn't have to denote a kingdom or a place.

My home was never within the walls of the Einzbern castle, nor was it in Fuyuki City, however lovely it was.

It was always the people I was with. Those I cherished deeply. My daughter, my husband...

[ You is implicit. ]

[unreachableutopia]

Forgive me, Irisviel.

[ She lowers her gaze, feeling a pang of guilt. What she loves.

She can't help but think about that battlefield and the hill lumped with corpses that wait for her. ]

I understand what you mean. I was distraught when I typed that message.

[apprenticemage]

Sorry you're having trouble with your mun, Saber.

[ Shirou can't really comment anymore than that. He's lucky he got the mun he did, and once a mun's mind has been set it's nigh impossible to change it. ]

[unreachableutopia]

...Uh, I heard that is a common and expected outcome from this 'contract.'

[She's not entirely happy. But at least it's better than Kiritsugu.]

[autocratic]

And yet is it not in a king's obligation to listen to the whims of their subjects? The decision to do anything about them, of course, lies with you.

[ Pause. Then an airy chuckle. ] Or perhaps your mundane.

[unreachableutopia]

My mundane is not a citizen of the kingdom I ruled, therefore she cannot be one of my beloved subjects.

[ A huff. ]

I am aware that voicing my protests only amuses her and it will change nothing in the end.

[ But- ]
