{Action I; Stone Street- Open}

[Saber couldn't get out of the house fast enough. She slammed the door and hurried down the street. Something was going on, and she needed to clear her head...

why the hell had she said that? Was this 'truth' thing catching up with her? Saber may have taken pride in her honesty, but there were some things that did

Action I

[maguskiller]

[Guess who you just ran into, Saber?]

... ...

Action I

[fated_blade]

[blink blink...THEN EXCALIBUR]

Emiya Kiritsugu! How dare you appear before me!?

[More importantly, why didn't I know you were here?]

Action I

[maguskiller]

Not by my choice.

[Barely audible enough to hear, really. Being forced to talk to Saber will be the most painful trick Mayfield will ever play on him.]

[Kiritsugu starts to think. There is absolutely no way he can stand up against Saber, and even escaping her sounds like an impossible feat. After all, Saber no longer depends on him to prolong her existence.]

[Depressingly enough, the safest way out of this seems to be simply letting Saber kill him, which Kiritsugu fully believes she's capable of doing. The town will revive him come morning.]

[He starts walking away.]

Action I

[fated_blade]

Do not walk away from me, you traitorous coward!

[She's faster than yoooooooou, and blocking your way]

Action I

[maguskiller]

[As there was no question, Kiritsugu remains absolutely silent. No surprise registers on his face. Of course Saber wouldn't let him pass.]

[However, he has no intention of playing Mayfield's game. Not this time. There usually aren't any crowds around here, so that's out. Back alleys may help, but Mayfield doesn't have a landscape as complicated as he'd prefer. His smoke grenades haven't been returned yet, and his new gun and knife would hardly be of any help.]

[Kiritsugu simply returns a stare. Mocking, almost. There are two things he can do. Either he can stand his ground, or he can provoke Saber into killing him, which would solve all of this. For now, he's doing both.]

Action I

[fated_blade]

Why did you betray me, Kiritsugu? Did I not perform my duty adequately? Did I not endure your disrespect enough?

Action I

[maguskiller]

Yes.

[Being utterly, unhelpfully vague. Right. There's that option, too. Let it never be said Emiya Kiritsugu was not a stubborn man.]

[He allows himself to hear, see for any interruptions. Kiritsugu's never been the type to rely on luck, but in this situation, it's all he's got.]

Action I

[fated_blade]

Then answer me! Why?!

[yeah, you get one warning shot directed at your leg. You ain't running, ho]

Action I

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu does not dodge or block it. However, he does not display any signs of pain beyond a strained expression for a few moments. From Time Alter to the curse of the grail, pain is something Kiritsugu has become steadily acquainted with. Granted, to suffer it at the hands of his former tool does not please him.]

[Yes, he's vaguely aware of how cathartic this must be.]

It was necessary.

Action I

[fated_blade]

And what, former Master, was it necessary for?! I did everything you ever asked of me, and you ripped the one thing I wanted away from me!

Action I

[maguskiller]

To save.

[From the start, Saber's known this has been his wish, so he doesn't feel terrible about divulging it. Still, the questions keep getting more and more specific. At this rate... ]

[Once again, he tries to bolt. Whether he's able to get away or is attacked, he'll get a little closer to escaping this situation. These are the times Kiritsugu hates his inner cowardice. Even if useless against Saber, he could still think of an escape route granted by the firearm in his coat. However, he's well-aware he will not take it.]

Action I

[kinpika]

[Gil had heard the whole thing and, of course, his mischievousness wanted to cause some issues. So of course he materializes right in Kiritsugu's way in all his childish glory.]

Are you still questioning that, Saber? You should be thanking him.

Besides....what do you think the Einzbern woman would say about what you're doing right now?

Re: Action I

[fated_blade]

[For the moment, anything she felt for Gilgamesh is completely overshadowed by her hatred and frustration with her former Master]

This man betrayed me! And after everything I had done for him! I demand an explanation!

[glare]

You dare speak of Irisviel to me, heathen?

Action I

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu stops. Having the memory of his wife brought up by the two Heroic Spirits does noticeably change his demeanor for the worse. He does not speak up, though. Not in Saber's presence.]

[True to his nature, he does not waste the opportunity, immediately attempting to use Gilgamesh's distraction to escape.]

Action I

[kinpika]

[Don't think you're getting out that easy, Kiri. Gil is dropping down a load of swords around him and into the ground.]

Try to be a man about this.

And you should stop being stubborn Saber. Do you want your wish so bad that you'd willingly kill most of the human population for it?

Re: Action I

[fated_blade]

[She was going to stop Kiri herself...probably better that Gil did it]

What madness are you spewing now? My wish is only to save my kingdom and the people who lost their lives because of my carelessness. It is only I that shall be erased.
