[ It was a nice dream this time, Saber can admit as she finds herself shifting in her sleep. Instead of the soft blades of grass tickling her bare skin though, she found sand scratching at her. That was enough to force alert, eyelids snapping open as she stares into the murky darkness that comes with opening your eyes for the first time in a very long period. The unmistakable sound of waves crashing down on the ocean nearby brought her to an alerted state that she was in danger once more, so she acts with the natural instinct that comes to her. A sword laying nearby was more convenience than she needed, even moreso when she feels the weight of it in her hand, shaking it free of the moist clumps of dirt that cling to it.

The fresh scent of the ocean mingles with the familiar toxins of the city before her. So it has come to this, has it? Either her apprentice has left and this place found it kind enough to tell her or it was simply messing with her as it always does. Regardless of the circumstances, she needed to prepare for the Dark Hour. Let them come for she needs to have the weight lifted from her shoulders in the way that only battle can do. ]

[ Sometime after the Dark Hour passes, when she's found a place to hide herself from any potential snipers and enemies, she'll pull out the phone given to her by this place. It looks different, but it's kept all of her messages from before. Convenient really, as she takes a bit more time to listen to the messages a certain knight had left her during the troublesome week she had before. After she's hesitated for as long as she can, she brings herself to make a public call. ]

For those who have just begun to miss me, it seems that fate has decided to return me to this hellish prison. [ If anything, she sounds more amused than anything. ] It also seems that the numbers here have diminished greatly. Well, that is a shame, but there are many warriors still in this special populace of the city.

I am Saber, although many have taken to calling me Arturia Pendragon in this day and age. [ Yes, the real King Arthur. As much as she would like to add that on, it seems like an unnecessary attachment to her introduction already. ] Who among my allies still remain? [ Heh. ] And who among my enemies are brave enough to speak when addressed to?

[ That seems to be the end of her message, but she holds open the line for a little longer, as though hesitating to ask another question. Eventually though, she cuts it once the silence becomes too much. ]

[ SAORI, THINK OF THE FOOD!!! ]

Are you well? Have you fallen ill? [ She's more concerned with that than she is with the reunion. ] Do you need aid?

[She sheepishly laughs. Luckily the food has been spared.]

Oh no, I'm alright. I just dropped a bag of flour when your post went up in surprise and it just went flying all over the place. It's great to hear you again. There's some changes I should tell you about and I have something I believe that belongs to you.

[ Whew. Crisis averted. ]

Then I would like very much to hear of these changes. [ Please keep her up to date, Saori. ] And something that belongs to me?

Well, I went ahead and purchased a building between the hotel and that dungeon Caliban and it's now a tea house. It's not hard to miss since there's a lot of rose bushes outside. So I decided to make a small base of sorts for us in the attic. It can be place to prepare for the Dark Hour and such.

It's the sword you had given to Minato. I believe he was training under you. Before he disappeared, he went on a trip to Japan so I watched over it for security reasons. I've held onto it since. I meant to get it back you but we got caught up with things...[Saori stop rambling.]

I think it's only fair if I returned it to its owner. I can give it to you whenever you stop by at the tea house.

[ The base would be nice. Preparations were always nice and when the the phases of the moon shifted into a manner that was ominous, it would be a suitable fortress for whatever was coming. ]

Ah, so that is where that is. [ And good, she could be rid of the makeshift one that was with her when she arrived. The cheap one she had when she first appeared in Prospero was strange after carrying something finely crafted. ] I could stop by to pick it up tomorrow, if that is alright with you.

What sort of things were these that kept you tied up though?

Sure thing. I'll show the base to you then and give you a copy of the key to access it. I'd rather not have the natives snooping around up there.

A lot of things, to be honest. It was mix of dealing with shadows, getting the shop ready, failing to find any new clues about our captors, and helping others console with the lost of our friends.

Understood. [ It's an easy enough think to keep track of and a key would make her feel better appreciated. It's almost as though as she's one of them now. ] There are still no clues regarding our captivity?

[ Disappointing truly, but it can't be helped. ]

I am informed a great deal of us have left. Have the losses truly been that devastating?
