Warnings: None at the moment, will update as needed

(1)Trial and Icy Errors

[ Spotting the message from Merlin, Saber immediately sends a few more messages his way. Mostly along the lines of a demand for him to meet her and explain himself, or just for him to come down so she can give him a good smack (so basically a threat but whatever).

When she is inevitably not given an answer, she decides to take full advantage of this snow...

And then she gets beaned in the back of the head by a snowball, and suddenly "practice" becomes "a battle". ]

Who dares!?

[ Was it you who just beaned her with a snowball? Well then, expect her to immediately retaliate.

If you weren't someone who just instigated the King's competitive side, then you're probably a victim of it, as she's now running around with an all-too-competitive look on her face as she uses wind magic to send a volley of snowballs your way. ]

(2)Fogueria Quest (Combat Quest)

[ After much time, Saber's managed to locate where the Fogueria may be found. As a user of Elemental Magic, she's been told that she would be a good matchup against the fiery beast. While she's mostly practiced with wind, she may as well learn to use water now.

As she marches into the Land of Rot, however, she would definitely appreciate some help. While she may be the King of Knights, this land has most definitely robbed her of the vast majority of her abilities. She's unsure how powerful this beast is, so having anyone to help back her up in slaying this beast will be appreciated.

Perhaps she found you before marching in the direction of the Land of Rot, and you accepted? Either that or she saw you, knew you would be helpful, and dragged you along with her to fight a giant fire lion.

In any case, you are with Saber, and you're both in the territory of the Fogueria now. ]

(3)Foraged and Found (Closed to Rin)

[ Saber's main priority is obtaining knighthood. Even if she is not a King in this land, she is still a Knight... however right now, she is only claiming to be a Knight.

And that simply won't stand, will it?

However, even though this is the case, it seems she's been dragged along to something else entirely. ]

Rin... I understand that having a partner for a quest is certainly important... but surely there are others who could help you better than I?

[ Rin is technically no longer Saber's Master, but still she felt obligated to follow Rin. However, obligation isn't the reason Saber's here. Saber is here, standing in front of an enchanted sleigh, because Rin was oddly insistent about it and dragged Saber here before she could protest.

It hasn't crossed her mind once that this could be anything more than a Quest. Still, here she is, dressed for winter (and not in her armor), about to ride a Sleigh. ]

Comments

[whatsamada]

[It was a good thing Ken was use to people explaining everything to him. Between all the chaos from home and in Inaba, it only seem natural someone would tell him here in this world.

The more he listened, the more he tried to put everything together]

I see. That is a rather odd way of reliving the old legend. I can't complain, things could be much worse.

[That and he could be a knight too! However, he wasn't going to say that out loud]

[excalibeam]

Indeed. For the most part, things in this world are rather peaceful.

[ She appreciates that. A land of peace is what she strived for, after all. ]

[whatsamada]

I wonder how long that's going to turn out...

[He mumbled to himself. Maybe it was because he just recently came back from his own adventures of fighting but he wasn't too hopeful the peace was going to last]

I'm not going to lie, it does make me worried. [Or maybe he was being too much of a stick in the mud?]

[excalibeam]

[ That is something Saber doesn't have an answer for. To be honest, she wishes there were more details. Things she'd have to ask once she meets this world's King Arthur. ]

I understand. However, we will get through this, of that I am certain.

[whatsamada]

I sure hope so.

[He said chuckling to himself. While he might be without anyone whom he knew here, he just hoped everything would turn out okay.

Until then?]

By the way, you think you can help me with training? It seems like you know how to fight.

[excalibeam]

[ A request to help with training...?

There's a nostalgic feeling in that request, so Saber nods her head. ]

You wish to train with me? If your request is genuine, then I have no problems with training you. What exactly is your weapon of choice?

[ What she fails to mention, however, is the fact that while her skill with a sword is unparalleled... her skill at teaching leaves much to be desired... though it is still worth something. ]

[whatsamada]

I use a spear to fight but if that isn't okay, I can try to find something else.

[Although, he wasn't sure how well he could fight without it. Where was Akihiko around to help him with fist fighting?]

[excalibeam]

No, there is no problem at all. A spear is an excellent choice as a weapon. though I myself prefer the sword, I have used a spear often in my life, particularly in jousting as well.

[ She also did use Rhongomyniad, her sacred spear, to defeat Vortigern during her life... though, she doesn't have that with her. ]

[whatsamada]

Then that's perfect, I wouldn't mind training against you with your sword! I'm used to fighting against one anyway so it'll be great for the both of us.

[He said before looking at his own spear. It was funny, he didn't know how to feel knowing he would fight against someone who used a sword again...

To think, he would feel a genuine smile for the first time since he arrived here.]
