Characters: Irisviel (wirefu) & Saber (scorchedchivalry)
Setting: briefly room 1-01, then floor 25
Format: Action
Summary: Saber is a very, very angry Servant right now. Hopefully her lady can calm her down!
Warnings: n/a

[While many of the other Masters and Servants have been getting riled up by recent happenings on the network, Irisviel has mostly remained oblivious to such things. She still didn't feel at ease using the terminals, even with the aid she had received early on into her stay. She knew it was bad for her in the long-run, but there were just certain habits and feelings that were a bit hard to break away from. Not even Kiritsugu's constant use of machines similar to that had made her comfortable enough using one.

Luckily - or unluckily, perhaps - for her, she wouldn't remain ignorant to the most recent happenings. Not when, moments after she had packed away her freshly-washed clothes from the previous day, the door to her dormitory burst open, a wave of rage and frustration instantly washing over her. She visibly jumped, but relaxed within moments when she spied the familiar form of her knight in the doorway.]

Saber? [She frowned. The swirl of negativity surrounding the Servant was something she had become accustomed to, but its intensity... that was new. And worrying.] What happened?

Comments

[wirefu]

[Irisviel reaches out, wrapping both her hands around that clenched fist.]

Saber, if you're feeling frustrated, just let it out. That's why I brought you here. [She lets out a soft chuckle.] Everyone needs to vent sometimes, and a wide open area such as this one is the perfect place.

[scorchedchivalry]

There is nothing here to hit that I am willing to hit.

[wirefu]

[Hm... Oh!]

Well, if you'd like a target... [Irisviel takes a few steps back, and flicks her wrist. The wires in the reels hidden under her sleeves come to life, twirling and twisting until, standing a few feet away, is the form of a human.]

I'm much more used to creating animals, but perhaps this might be good enough?

[scorchedchivalry]

[Without warning, Saber's blackened armor coalesced out of her dark prana, the red lines through it glowing slightly, and she sends her armored fist through the wire creation with all of her A rank strength.]

[wirefu]

[The wire figure seems to explode at the force of the punch, winding and unraveling. But with another flick of Irisviel's wrist, the wires again twist and turn until the dummy reforms, completely unharmed, again several feet away.]

Would you like to continue just this? Or would you prefer something that can attempt to fight back?

[scorchedchivalry]

[Another punch to 'destroy' the figure, then Saber sighed.]

Neither.

[She stands there, looking across the fields.]

It will not help as I am too worried about hurting you in the process.

[wirefu]

[Irisviel shakes her head.] You won't hurt me! I'll keep my distance, and hurting the things I can create doesn't cause any pain for me, so there's no problem there.

[scorchedchivalry]

I am not certain distance will be enough. Irisviel. You do not speak of it, but I know you can feel it. [her prana] I do not have the control over it as I used to have. Worse when I am angry.

[wirefu]

I'll be fine, I promise. It might be a bit of a strain, but I can handle it.

This is a way I can help you, Saber... but if I can't do that, is there anything else I can do?

[scorchedchivalry]

I... do not know. It may be best... to leave me alone. That way I cannot harm you.

[She looks away, across the meadow.] You would be better with the other one.

[wirefu]

... Saber, I'm not going to leave you. [Her smile fades, melting back to a look of concern.] Why do you think I should do that?

[scorchedchivalry]

...she is untainted.

[wirefu]

... I was never afraid of this taint before. It... worried me, when we were first reunited. It still does. But that doesn't mean I'm going to abandon you.

[scorchedchivalry]

She is more worthy than I am to be your knight.

[Because Saber doesn't know her other self killed the man she loved to get the Grail.]

[wirefu]

You've looked out for me in the tower for as long as I've been here. I think that makes you more than worthy enough.

[It's not like Saber has to do anything, really, to be a good knight in Irisviel's eyes. But if she's going to argue that, Irisviel has to argue right back.]

[scorchedchivalry]

Now there is someone better suited for it.
