ONE ♐ （ ｖｉｄｅｏ ）

[hillofswords]

[ The video is quick to show an adult man, dressed in something vaguely resembling a red mantle and dark armor, who looks like he's in his late twenties to early thirties at most despite the white hair; he gives the camera a frown at first, one bordering on a full-scale scowl. ]

Oh, this actually works. Hmm. You know, when I found myself in some

[Just... stares for a second or two. Last time she saw him he was in the middle of going poof]

...Archer.

[hillofswords]

[ And last time he saw her, he was talking to her and her Master in a shed and being a huge jerkass. He gives a bit of a pause and stares right back for a second too though, because that's still not what he was expecting to see. ]

-Saber...?

[rex_britanniae]

[Aaaaaaaawkward. Well, let's try some fairly safe territory. Somewhat]

Is Rin your Master, currently?

[hillofswords]

...What kind of question is that? [ He 'hmph's a bit, but looks genuinely confused. ] Of course she is. But honestly... that's the first thing you have to say to me? And what do you mean, "currently"?

[rex_britanniae]

I simply wanted to be certain whether you are an enemy or not. I have only just arrived in this peculiar village myself, and you are the only other Servant I have encountered so far.

You had abandoned Rin to ally yourself with Caster, at one point.

[hillofswords]

...What? [ He gives her a look as though she just sprouted two heads and a tail and started tap-dancing. ] Don't tell me you're holding a grudge over yesterday. Anyway, I won't be your enemy unless you want me to be. I don't like it, but we're cooperating right now to defeat Caster, remember?

1/2

[rex_britanniae]

[Now she's the one to stare at him] Yesterday? But the War has already concluded...

2/2

[rex_britanniae]

[Clams up] Well. Be that as it may, the circumstances here are different. It would be unwise to continue such hostilities here.

[hillofswords]

... [ They're just going to have a staring contest forever, aren't they... he does it again for a second before sighing. ]

...Hm. So, you know what's going on, Saber?

[rex_britanniae]

[Once she's successfully grappled with the whole prospect of them being from different points in time, she simply closes her eyes in her version of a shrug.]

Very little. If there is a specific purpose to our summoning, I have yet to find it. However, I have been told that fae are involved with this, though not the same Fair Folk I am familiar with.

[hillofswords]

[ He narrows his eyes a little. ] ...Fae? Fair Folk? You mean fairies? [ After a slight, brief pause, he speaks again, in a more sarcastic, deadpan tone. ] ...Wow, nice. Now that's great. That's absolutely golden.

[rex_britanniae]

Yes, essentially.

[Definitely doesn't look too happy about things, either. Good thing there's plenty of good food, otherwise something would have blown up by now]

[hillofswords]

So what that girl was saying about how "it was probably the faeries" was right, huh... I see. [ Despite what he says, though, he sounds like he doesn't really believe it still... ]

[rex_britanniae]

So it would seem. They would appear to be not entirely unlike the Fair Folk who have aided me in the past, although these might be their more malicious kin. Or perhaps... they might not be like the fae of our plane at all.

[hillofswords]

[ He narrows his eyes a bit. ] I'm surprised. Should you really be telling your future enemy things that might hint at your identity, Saber?

I may have to replay UBW over again T^T

[rex_britanniae]

You already know who I am, just as I know who you are.

[Oh wait, he doesn't know that yet]

Or will, if your path is the same as my own.
