On a post at [community profile] towerofanimus

Now that you have what you consider a "joke post" out of your system, can we move on from that particular aspect of my past?

I do not know why you have fixated on this one particular part of what happened between Shirou and myself so much. Yes, it had its effect on me during that time, but there are so many other parts of it I would rather focus on. Unless some version of Shirou arrives in the Tower it should not cross my mind as often as you imply it does.

I should be searching for a way to save the worlds, not going so far as to ask the population of the tower for advice on such a trivial matter simply because you find it funny. The only solace I can take from such a thing is you realizing I would be firm about my anonymity and telling absolutely no one of it afterward. For that I thank you.

Contact the one who plays Lancer when you can. Lancer and I would have made much progress on our project of mapping out the Tower by now and it would be prudent to figure out how far along we are.

Yours,
Saber of White

Addendum: thank you for making it clear such feelings do not carry over to Archer.

Saber?

[What is she talking about and ... she looks different]

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's how they generally work, to be honest.

[Not even touching the landmine of how she's different than the other Sabers he's met in his lifetime, since really.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
A-ah. Shirou.

[....somewhere in the distance, she can hear the mun laughing at the E-rank Saber has when it comes to her love life.]

Is something the matter?

[Besides, you know, the fact you're even alive.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[You mean the fact she actually dresses like a girl?]

I've started to notice. A shame, she had showed such promise until now.

[Don't mind her breezing by the landmine that is the contents of this post.]

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
If it's a word of comfort, she's not that bad to leave you to suffer all the time.

[...about that...]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's my dignity that's on the line, not whether or not I am suffering. It's the people in this tower whose suffering I need to stop.

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
You, uh ... you look different.

[It's kind of shocking seeing her dressed like this for Shirou, so he's going to need a moment to pick his jaw off the floor.]

So, what's all this about a joke post?

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [She actually reddens slightly at that. Part of her had always wondered what Shirou would think if he ever saw her in this ridiculous getup. Now she gets to see his reaction and she has no idea if she should be embarrassed, indignant, or pleased by such a reaction.]

My mun has an awful sense of humor, nothing more.

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
...

[That kind of answer was something he'd expect from her, really, so at least there's a bit of comfort in knowing that she's not that changed yet.]

Maybe, but that doesn't hide the fact that you're hurting.

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good different! [He quickly adds seeing her uncertain expression. He's not lying though. She looks amazing]

Can't be worse than mine is sometimes.

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
It is....? [Yep. Full on blushing now. Gah. She never will win back her dignity when it comes to him, will she?]

Oh? Where has yours sent you to? [Because the further they are away from the contents of that "joke post" the better!]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Ow. Right to the heart. Seriously, is the world out to punish her? She doesn't deserve for him to be kind to her after what she'd done to him.]

Whether or not I'm hurting is irrelevant.

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely. [He can't help a little grin forming at the cute, flushed look Saber has on.]

Eheh, nowhere, actually. He just really enjoys throwing me in to awkward situations.

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Such as this post?

[Which isn't so much awkward as kind of painful for her, but she isn't going to let that show even if she is flustered and still thinks she looks ridiculous.

Seriously, that smile of his is like a stab to the heart after what she had done to him. Would he still smile at her if he knew?]

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but this isn't so bad.

[He smiles, but he notices something. There's nothing he can put his finger on, but something's not quite right. Call it master's intuition. Or maybe he just knows her better than either of them thought.]

Saber, is something the matter?

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't to me.

[he knows she's not going to tell him, she's stubborn like that, but... he just can't help it.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [And she let's some of the heartache slip into her voice because.... well, she knew she'd never be able to keep her emotions under control around him.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, nothing is the matter.

[She lies. Even though they both know he could likely see right through it.]
emptysword: (Shirou | Determination)

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[there's a sigh from him as he could feel her pain in a figurative sense, but what can he do? words are empty if he could not prove it.]

...If there's anything you need help with.

Feel free to ask, alright?

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Saber. I know you're lying.

[It's not an accusation, but instead it's softer and more caring. Still, there's that stubborn look in his eyes she knows so well. He knows something the matter, and he's not going anywhere until he can try to help]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe so, but it is not something you could help me with.

[Even that tone is painful and Saber wonders yet again if this sort of pain was what Lancelot had felt when she could do nothing but forgive him for his affair.]

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[She knows. He would be willing to help her with anything should she ever ask, but this is not something he could help her with. How can she even hope to "fix" such a betrayal?]

Thank you.

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm willing to try.

[He can't stand to see her like this.

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-03-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Shirou, you're kind of the problem.]

I know, and for that I thank you, but--[And there's a hitch in her voice, one she takes a moment to smooth out before she continues:]--but I promise this is a matter you could not help me with.
emptysword: (pic#5180942)

[personal profile] emptysword 2013-03-12 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
It's no problem at all.

[there's no reason in pushing it right now, so... yeah.]

Just stay safe, okay?

[personal profile] wannabe_hero 2013-03-12 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's quiet a minute, before he nods]

Alright.

But if there's ever anything you need, just tell me.
