[Dorm]

[When Saber had seen the basket of food, she was quite happy. After having been ill and with the limited food, she'd barely eaten anything all month. Of course, being a Servant, she didn't require food, but she so did love to eat. And then she saw what kind of food it was in the basket - things she hadn't had since she walked the hills of her homeland.

It made her go to hide it in her trunk and that's when she saw it. Wrought of the finest gold, sparkling sapphires inlaid into the band... it was her crown. The royal crown of King Arthur. She picked it up and held it before her, pale eyes drinking in the treasure. She could tell it was hers and not a reproduction; a king knows his crown.

Walking away from the trunk, she hesitantly put it on her head. It fit as she remembered, the weight as it should be and it rest perfectly. And then her eyes widened and she snatched the crown off her head. No, no, no, she didn't want to be king anymore. She wanted to reset things, change her destiny... redo the selection. Save Britain from herself.

So it was laying on her back holding the crown above her, turning it slowly in her hands with a distant look in her eyes, Saber would be found in Room 1-09. The door was half-open, unnoticed by Saber, as she thought about the past.]



[Graveyard]

[Saber walked through the graveyard, past stones, until she came to one that was broken. In rubble at her feet - the letters S BE visible in a few pieces - she stared down at the stone. She now knew who this grave belonged to. It was her own, but not her own. And so, thinking she was alone, she spoke to it in a quiet voice.]

A battle has been fought and is now over. Place your sword upon the ground and rest in the temporal peace. After dozing in the warmth of a dream, a new day will begin. The days keep passing by...

And we still chase the same star we once saw.


[Saber folded her hands into her greatcloak and bowed her head.]


Forest Floor 32]

[To clear her mind, Saber chose the forest where she felt the most human. Here her prana was quiet and she had to rely on skills and knowledge learned from her childhood, her time as a squire, and not the might of a Heroic Spirit. It was calming.

Quietly, she moved through the forest, downwind, as she tried to sneak up on a grazing deer. She was close, waiting patiently behind cover, when something made the deer raise his head, antlers brushing the branches above. And then it took off, having noticed whoever came upon Saber in her game of skill.

Sighing, she stood up, revealing her concealed presence.]


...great.

Forest

[Was Saber hunting this deer?

Whatever spooked it wasn't Shiki...or maybe it was. Either way, when it took off, a blur slammed into it from its front, the creature having run directly in Shiki's waiting spot. Thanks to his sword, the head of it went flying, smoothly and unexpectedly removed in one slash.

He was blindfolded but he cheated for hunting by opening the bandages juuuust a bit, only enough to more easily hunt and strike killing blow and close it again. It was a force of habit...]


Sorry, was this yours?

[The antlered head hit the ground. If he was interested in trophies, it would have made a good one.]

I give to the forest and it gives to me.

[No hesitation with that answer. He needed to eat, after all. So a knife came out and he started the dirty process of cleaning the animal.]

Someone who's constantly at work needs more food that this place will provide.

But that's really just an excuse. I'm just a traditional person who prefers to rely on himself.

[There's some use for the organs so he takes care with them. Cutting open the wrong thing could ruin a lot.]

Thanks. I try.

Injured? I might have gotten some of the deer's blood on me but no...

Those? They're there for another reason. I'm not injured though.

You're not going to find that a common thing.

[But he suppose it does happen, at least in the manner of it being 'voluntary'.]

I'm not a big fan of trophies and I don't like brains so I'll probably just leave it.

[He gives a nod. Shiki knows jack about the Franks other than she probably meant French or something. Weird.]

You can take it. Like I said, I don't have much use for it. Do you like that kind of decoration?

[Knocking lightly at the door, Kazumi peeks in curiously]

Saber...? Ah, there you are! Hm...?

[Stepping inside, the crown catches her eye]

What's that?

Another thing I don't think I'll be needing either of. I guess that means we're still clear.
starofpleiades: (Was I Wrong?)

A crown...? I thought you were a knight.

[She walks over, looking down at it curiously. It's really a beautiful crown; she'd never seen anything so fancy before in her life, with jewels and gold like that]

[He pulls his sword back out and tosses it over to her.]

Sure, here you go.

[personal profile] concept_killer 2012-12-28 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome, for what little those words are worth.
starofpleiades: (Are You Sure?)

[personal profile] starofpleiades 2012-12-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
A king? Wow... wait.

If you were a king... and a knight of the round table... wouldn't that make you...?
