Voice Testing a new (old?) part of a story and looking at Rekindle

Young lord, I find little reason for your nervousness.

Know you not that a king stands before you? All will be well. No challenge shall best me with the blessing of the sword in my--

...The premise emphasises touch? You must not be serious.

...You are? Young lord- I think you must gravely misunderstand my role here.



[So this Saber is pre-canon, at the time King Arthur would have been a Feudal Lord. As such she will refer to herself as male and as "Lord Arthur Pendragon"! So she's about 15-16 here.]

We're horrible people

--The garb of the knights of the future? But-- it hardly seems a proper defence. [She openly ogles the suit, confounded by the fasteners and the fabric and the tie.]

How distant a future it must be... No such things could be found across the world now...

What help did they require of... you?

Welcome to the Nasuverse, leave your feelings at the door.

One might say that. [If that makes it easier for her to understand, and it's not as if she's really wrong. She sighs (laughs?) affectionately at her younger self's wonder. She was sure her reaction might have been much the same, sans the Grail's knowledge.] Armor is not commonly worn, from what I can tell, and swords are not typically carried or used. I suppose one might consider it a more peaceful world? [In a way, that was true, she supposed.] In any case, while simply traveling and escorting, there is no danger that would require my armor for protection. It would do little more than attract attention, I believe. But I can don it in a moment's notice, if need be.

Indeed, it is a very distant future.

[As for the "help"... So many questions, though she wasn't surprised. Though how to indulge her younger self's curiosity without giving too much away?] It is a knight's duty to defend the good of the world and assist those who require it. Past or future, this task does not change. Though you'll pardon if I ask, what is it you last remember before coming here? [She was curious as well. Some things never changed.]

[It's hard to conceal the wonder on her face as Arthur takes in the words of her future self, trying to imagine such a world. A distant future indeed.

Still, she straightens up and makes her expression more respectable at Arturia's question. It is good to know she hasn't lost sight of what is good.]

I am one year lord of Britannia, and know victory of one battle against our enemies.

I am...really good at this tagging thing. OTL Gomen.

[She barely stifles a regretful sigh; so young, so early.]

You have a difficult journey ahead of you, brave one.

{ooc: in other news I need better icons. OTL}

IT IS SO OK

[lytelcniht]

You should know as well as anyone that the sword will guide me through any trouble.

I will not be frightened by the road ahead. It is for Britannia that I fight.

[So young, so coloured by ideals.]
