Third Heaven's Feel

[kill_order]

[Ilya's out and about this fine day, wandering about the neighborhoods, amusing herself with the endless loop the town is stuck in, and watching people give Valentines. While she is aware of this holiday, she's never really seen it close-up since she spent her entire childhood locked in an isolated castle in the middle of The Boondocks, Germany.

[Oh, have a Saber trying to participate in this weird holiday.]

Oh, hello Illyasviel. Would you...like a candy? I believe that is what people do on this holiday.

[kill_order]

[Oh, it's Saber. She's not particularly excited like she is about seeing the boys, but she'll be cordial (for now), in any case]

A candy...? What kind?

Any sort of candy you'd prefer her to have? :3

[arturia_pen]

I am not sure what type they are...but they are the candies that I believe are associated with this...Valentine's Day.

Not particularly, fire away if you have an idea! :3

[kill_order]

Oh, alright. I guess I'll take some, if you're offering.

:3

[arturia_pen]

Alright.

[Saber offers her a box full of "Be mine" candies.]

Here you are, miss Einzbern.

>3 Ohohohoho

[kill_order]

[She takes the box, inspects it a bit, then pops it open and takes out one of the candies, before munching on it happily.

There doesn't seem to be an immediate change. Instead, she grins happily, all childlike innocence... and clings to Saber's arm.]

Th-thank you so much, onee-chan!

[arturia_pen]

Ah...you are quite welcome...Illyasviel...are you feeling well?

[kill_order]

Of course I am! Especially since I have onee-chan here! [She presses her face against the outside of Saber's arm, almost like she's nuzzling into it]

[arturia_pen]

Ah...well...[Saber makes no attempt to pull her arm away...but she obviously looks rather uncomfortable.]

[kill_order]

Saber's actually fun to hug! You're a lot shorter than Shirou... [If she puts a little effort into it, she might even be able to rest her head against Saber's shoulder. Awww. As it is, her hands move to both hold one of Saber's.]

[arturia_pen]

[Depending on which hand she's holding, she'll either feel something that isn't there in Saber's right hand...or will have to grab around that lead pipe of hers in her left.]

Illyasviel...are you sure you are well?

[Saber's mildly attempting to get out of Illya's grip at this point. She doesn't want to offend the poor girl.]

[kill_order]

[We'll go with left. Don't want her to cut herself accidentally on the invisisword. And she sort of wraps her fingers around Saber's hand, pressing it a little more firmly into the pipe.]

I'm... feeling more than fine, Saber-onee-chan. I haven't felt this nice in a while.

[No, she's not letting go of that arm, sorry Saber.] Don't try to run away onee-chan. I don't think that's very like you.

[arturia_pen]

I...am not trying to run. This is simply...strange behavior for you, Illyasviel.

[kill_order]

Maybe it is... it's just... [She looks up] I can't help it. [A giggle] I love you onee-chan!

[And then she goes just about as stiff as a board against Saber's arm. Ohholygodwhatdidshejustsay.

This is followed by her backing up so quickly she almost trips over her own feet.]

[arturia_pen]

[Saber reacts quickly, catching Illya before she can fall.]

Illyasviel, what has come over you?

I'm almost surprised no one gave her Tru Luv. Ilya's made for creepy, murderous stalking.

[kill_order]

I don't know. [She just sort of looks blankly from where Saber has caught her, down to herself, then over to the box of candies she's still half holding on to. It appears as though the little confession has shocked the effects of the candy off] I wonder if it's the candy.
