As long as there is compelling literature to read over there, I don't mind. I trust this won't mean anything negative to my Master.

[ That might have been a murderous glare for a moment, there. ]

I could get it if it was some sort of sex changing gimmick or something. Problem is Saber says she's always been a woman. And if you asked the male Saber, he'd probably says that he's always been a man.

[He can't think of any other explanations right off the top of his head.]

[medousa]

That would be on par with their nature as alternate equivalents, after all.

[puppy_lancer]

Weirdest part was when she actually recognized me and Archer. And then she started talking about how Archer was actually summoned in the Fourth War and some other Archer got summoned for the Fifth War.

[He shrugs.]

Maybe that crazy shit only applies to the Fifth Grail War.

[medousa]

...

[ Yeah well Rider would've said the same thing. ]

Alternate universes have all kinds of inconveniences.

[puppy_lancer]

I'm almost afraid to ask this...but are we from the same universe?

[medousa]

No. The Lancer from the Grail War I participated looks similar, but not the same.

[puppy_lancer]

...Great. So you're from some other version of my Grail War too. That other me sure is lucky.

[medousa]

[ He dies all the time, dude.

All the time. ]

I didn't have the chance to fight him, so I wouldn't know.

[puppy_lancer]

[He saved his tsundere and avenged his own death and the death of his first Master in one route. He gets to fight in a war against cute female Servants. He gets to use Gae Bolg. And he has a fangirl.]

[Even counting all the deaths, he's probably just a little better off than ProtoLancer. After all, better a good death than shamefully scraping out an existence without his Master.]

Then what about going out for a drink with him? Scratch that. If you make it to the Tower, you can have a drink with me.

[medousa]

Not interested.

[ There's a bit of emotion behind those words, for a change. ]

[puppy_lancer]

[He stops and looks at her, wondering what he said wrong.]

Sorry.

[medousa]

There is nothing to apologize for.

[ She could offer a reassuring smile but nope, she's all :| ]

[puppy_lancer]

You sure? You sounded really odd back there.

[medousa]

I simply stated I had no interest in sharing a drink with someone for the time being.

Perhaps I should apologize...?

[puppy_lancer]

Forget it.

Then, if you won't let me get you a drink, maybe we could do something else fun together.

[medousa]

Such as...?

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, fishing, or hiking, or even just making wreathes of flowers.
