[Unlike a majority of you non-hipster Servants, Saber here doesn't come from post-canon or post-death or any of that--no, he was in the middle of something VERY, VERY IMPORTANT like SAVING MY MASTER'S LIFE important. So aside from suddenly waking up here being 1) very strange and 2) very unexpected it is also 3) VERY UNWANTED. Technology was never his forte but at this rate he needed information somehow.]

Assuming this will reach other people, I would like to request assistance. Specifically, where this city is and whatever transportation services there are here. [Since it sure didn't look like he'd be able to go back to where he was by foot and whatnot.] I apologize for the curtness of this message, but I'm afraid I've something very important that I have to do.

[He pauses, a difficult sort of expression on his face, but... well he'd feel bad if he didn't at least give out his name since he's asking for help, even if it probably isn't that good of an idea when he has no idea what's going on. But he's a knight okok, GOTTA BE POLITE.] My name is Saber, and thank you for your time.

[Why can't you just let Nier and the gang pass through Devola gosh!!] Haha, it's good to know I'm not alone in that feeling then.

A gentleman? Who, me? I wouldn't call myself anything like that now. [You're kind of a knight Arthur OF COURSE YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN...]

[Because the shift from "please stop" to "no stopping ever" didn't occur yet geeeeeze.....]

You're being calm and polite, even when told a completely absurd story, while having other things -- and important ones from the sounds of it -- to do.

...I'm just saying, some people are pretty rude in that situation!

It'd be pointless to get mad at someone who's done nothing but help. Being rude and upset just wouldn't help at all.

And that, Arthur, is why I called you a gentleman.

[She'd probably say QED here if it was in her vocabulary and if it wasn't something douche-bags said.]

If that's all it takes to be a gentleman, I'm sure plenty of other people are too.

[There's.

Well.

It's a lengthy pause.]

You'd be surprised.

[O...h......]

Am I wrong in even being that hopeful?

[A giggle.]

Well, I'm over-exaggerating things. A good handful of people here are; it's a nice change of pace from where I was before here, really.

Really? What were the people like where you were before?

Well, let's say you're a not-unattractive woman who spends a lot of time singing at the local drinking establishments. Places that are, in fact, not populated by those who would be called "gentlemen." Care to take a guess?

Ah... yeah, I can take a guess. [He sighs.] It pains me to think that so many people would willingly choose to treat a lady with anything but chivalry.

It's just the times, I guess -- kind of annoying, but not a big deal.

...Heck, if anything, learning to dodge the grabby-hands is paying off here and now.

Really? Then I guess it's true. You really can learn useful things from all sorts of places.

Exactly that. Keep an open mind and almost anything can go from bothersome or annoying to a learning experience.

Well, I'll be hoping that that applies to being here in general.

Like I said, just try to keep an open mind about it.

And, if it comes to that -- in the case you have to dodge grabby-hands, spinning slightly while moving away works wonders. Just a heads-up.

Haha, I'll thank you for that advice. While I hope that I never have to use it, things like that are always good to know.

Hey, any day you learn something new is a day you can't say is wasted.

Anything else I can help ya with, frivolous information or no~?

Hm... Well, if I could ask for one more frivolous thing, where would you say is a good place to eat here?

That depends on your tastes. There's a pretty good variety of restaurants here. I'm kinda a fan of Ninja Noodle and the Flying Dragon in the Shopping District, though they're a bit on the spicy side of flavor.

As long as it's good, I won't mind trying it. Spicy sounds fine with me.

In that case, I fully recommend the previously mentioned places!

...Just stay away from the Flying Dragon's Mapo Tofu. That stuff'll kill ya.

Mapo Tofu. Got it. [Though he's kind of wondering if maybe a challenge would be good... How much does he value his life. c_c]

[Nooo don't do it you have so much to live for like "not being a mulleted-priest."]

Anything else?

[He doesn't know what he's getting himself into...!]

Hmm... No, I think that's it for now. Thanks a lot for your help, Devola. It's definitely helped me out already.
