Hello everyone? Is this device working? I am uncertain as to the limits of it, but I suspect it works just as a mobile phone would in this modern time.

[ Hello Saber in a very elegant dress. She may or may not have been trying it on for the masquerade that's going to happen, but whatever the reason, she doesn't seem phased in the slightest for wearing it. ]

I am away from Prospero for a while on what is supposed to be a vacation, but I am afraid I cannot stop worrying about things. Is the book store doing well? Do I need to place another order while I am away? How about my apprentice? Oh! [ She looks rushed and there may be classical music being picked up in the background. ] Has Gilgamesh destroyed anything? Gilgamesh, you better answer my call. I have something of great importance to ask of you.

[ Great importance while she's dressed up like a lady. QUICK, take advantage of this while you can, bro. ]

Archer, Shirou, Lancer, V/V - please tell me if there are any complications in my absence. Diarmuid and I will rush back right awa--[ Her eyes widen as though she's been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. ] No, I am not calling to check up on them, I was simply inquiring about the state of the land in our--Yes, I know I was told to relax, but I cannot without knowing--Would you cease cutting me off before I can fin--Oh... Steak you say?

[ GOODBYE SUCKERS, SABER HAS SUCCESSFULLY BEEN SNARED AWAY WITH THE PROMISE OF FOOD. ]

[Saber. Why you gotta be so dense sometimes.]

I agree it would. From what I can gather it seems like it will be quite the event. That's why I would like to spend it with you specifically.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Well, I will be there, so you can spend time with me there. [ Come on, this date thing is a foreign concept to her even still. ] So many others will be there, but surely I have enough energy to entertain all of the guests.

[thousandblades]

[Archer chuckles.]

I can't tell whether or not you're playing hard to get or if you're just oblivious.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Hard to get? [ It takes her a moment as she thinks over his words, a small frown on her face. ] I am not oblivious... Archer, if you are trying to get at something, then you should just ask.

[Video]

[thousandblades]

Very well then. I would like you to accompany me to the ball as my date.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

As your what?

[Video]

[thousandblades]

As my date. Or do you already have someone as you're going with?

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

No, I was going to go by myself. [ A pause. ] But you wish for me to go with you?

[Video]

[thousandblades]

... you really have no idea.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Do not feign as though I am ignorant when you are the one behaving strangely!

[Video]

[thousandblades]

[He sighs.]

A date is someone special that you specifically go to an event with. I am asking you to be that someone special for me on that night.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

I understood that, Shirou. I just do not understand why you are asking me to go specifically with you. I was under the impression that things of this nature were distasteful to you.

[Video]

[thousandblades]

Well you haven't had anyone ask you proper, have you? Big events aren't really my thing, but I can't just let you go without a date.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Right... No one has asked me properly. [ Glancing off to the side. ] I thought perhaps I should be the one to ask instead. Ah, but I purchased a dress so that I may... well, perhaps I was in the wrong this entire time.

[ She wants to be a lady, but keeps getting ignored when she does. HALP! ]

So it is alright for me to go without a proper partner. It would be my own fault in the end, right?

[Video]

[thousandblades]

Saber... [Archer's tone softens slightly. Do not treat yourself so harshly. I will go with you and I will do it gladly. If others do not ask, then they have simply missed out on an amazing opportunity. The blame lies with them.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

An amazing opportunity? You would claim being my date would be something of that magnitude? I am flattered.

[Video]

[thousandblades]

At the least, going on a date with the king of England is an honor. When the king is as beautiful as yourself it is doubly so.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

A honor... Truly you do not mean that? To go alongside me to something of that nature, well, I just do not see it as much of a honor. I suppose ladies would find it charming, but I am not used to male company thinking such. [ It's different when it's Master and Servant!! ] This dress. You wish for me to wear it for you?

[ If Shirou wanted it, then she would do it no questions asked. That's the nature of their relationship. ]

I will then. [ She's coming around slowly to the idea, having not been on a date in so long. This is a vacation, it doesn't count as a date?? ] I will wear it for you and go as your lady date. Is that an appropriate way to accept such a proposal?

[Video]

[thousandblades]

[He smiles lightly at her, something rare after his experience had jaded him. It's almost as if nothing has changed after all these years. She is still the Saber he knows and loves.]

It is more than appropriate. Thank you, Saber.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

You are welcomed.

[ She barely manages that out. ]

Are we finished?

[Video]

[thousandblades]

Oh? You would dismiss me so quickly after my proposal? [The tease is evident in his voice.] Well I'm sure you have more important things to tend to. I'd never keep you from dinner.

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Haha! T-That was not what I meant, Shirou! [ Oh, but she's so hungry. ] Thank you!
