"I'm glad, then." Kariya had to laugh at that, a little, a slight bitterness in the sound. "I don't know if I haven't been jaded. I just believe in saving people who need it. That's all." Growing up in his family home, he'd seen too much not to become at least a little jaded. He just wanted to be as unlike the rest of his family as possible.

When Saber pulled at her ribbon, he thought of Sakura and felt a twinge. Where was she now? What was she doing?

"You don't have to apologize. You can use any name you want. Whatever one you like best. I'm Kariya." He paused before adding, "Matou," not sure if she'd recognize the name and wondering if he was being foolish to offer it in the first place, but he was curious, considering that so far, one Saber had tried to kill him and the other had had no idea who he was. This Saber didn't seem likely to try to kill him, but hopefully Ruler would save him if he'd miscalculated.
