[And... this will be Asch, the epitome of awkward at this point. He's used to Saber being happy and bouncy and polite, not this... statue. Seriously, he's half tempted to try and test if she's really made of stone or not.]

Um... Saber...?

[fated_blade]

[looks quietly]

Yes, Asch?

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[...also not used to the "Sir" not being attached to his name though that always made him feel closer to his father's age than his own.]

Um... is there anything you want to do...?

[fated_blade]

It is not my place to make selfish requests. I require nothing at the moment, though...I am in some pain.

[her face changes ever soooo slightly]

Forgive me, I did not mean to bother you with it again, M...Asch.

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[A-awkward pause.]

Did... you take some more of those painkillers I gave you?

[fated_blade]

.....

[silent pause]

I apologize, I do not recall receiving these...'painkillers.'

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[Ugh, what the hell. Did someone switch Saber for a replica Saber or something, because this is reminding him of Luke. A little too much for comfort.]

Ah... it's over here.

[Hurries over to get the pills Naomi gave him.]

[fated_blade]

Are they effective means of dulling or healing injury?

[we can just absorb some mana from you...not that you have that much]

I have no sense of the other servants...it is dangerous for me to not be in prime fighting condition.

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[Hey, buddy. He's a fonist; not a great one, but still. And according to Zelos, he has pink mana. So there. >:|]

Ah... I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

[hands her two painkillers and a glass of water.] Here.

[fated_blade]

[she blinks at him before looking at the strange white pills, then the glass of water]

...if you desire it then...

[she takes the glass and pops the pills in her mouth before swallowing, and then placing the glass on the floor]

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[Half wondering if it would be wise to tell her what happened before her nightmare.]

...

[Glances at her sword...]

...

[Decides against it.]

[fated_blade]

....It is not working...

This is strange, even an incomplete summoning would not cause this amount of pain.

[x_bloody_asch_x]

...

[Oh well, may as well. :|]

Well, you..

[...dammit. Words are failing him. :|]

Saber, what's the last thing you remember?

[fated_blade]

....During the previous war, I was battling with an Archer class Servant. Our battle ended...

There was much damage to the surrounding area. My memory is hazy after that. But it is unimportant.

[x_bloody_asch_x]

[...what? You're speaking nonsense. :|]

Well, the reason why you're so hurt, was because I was fighting against someone, and you tried to stop me... by physically throwing yourself in the way of my attack.

[fated_blade]

[loooooooooong silence]

That is not possible. I would never do something so foolish as to throw myself into a fight, unarmed into a battle without command.

[she really isn't trying to be mean, i sweeeear]

And I most certainly would never be injured by you.
