[phone; morning; locked to Sola-Ui on Saber's phone]

Saber? [He wasn't worried, strictly speaking. Of course Saber could take care of herself, occasional mishap aside. But it was strange that she hadn't returned last night. And the fact that he hadn't heard from her...he almost might have called that 'suspicious'.]

I haven't spoken to you recently, are you alright?

[Surely she was just with Shirou. Right?]

[Intuition rarely failed a knight. And Lancer's was telling him something was not right at all.]


[action; early evening]

[Lancer didn't know what to do. He didn't know anything. The former Servant in glasses sat on a park bench staring blankly at exactly nothing.]

[It was all his fault. Saber had died--by a hand not his own--and it was all his fault.]

[He didn't know what hurt more. The fact that again one of that pair had ruined everything and stolen his chance for a fight with her, or the fact that this would not have happened if he'd kept his mouth shut and just gone along with Sola's obsession. She would have been unhurt, Saber would have been alive, and Lancer...]

[Lancer would have been as miserable now as he was in Fuyuki. A small price to pay.]

[Today he likely looked nothing like the amicable, smiling and cheerful indivudual he so often was--there was a touch of ice in gold eyes, a strange sense of detachment in the way he held himself and stared at nothing. He had to stay that way. Lancer...didn't want to be angry. He didn't want to fly into the screaming anger of that vengeful spirit that had died in the Fourth War.]

[More than anything he didn't want it to keep hurting.]

[just as planned]

--?!

[Lancer wasn't really easily startled, but that was a little unexpected.]

To move the car forward, you must have this on drive. [He taps on the stick once.] Also, the driver is capable of changing the speed in which you go.

Which is why I recommended that silly idea of hitting your master with this.

I've seen them around the city, so I'd at least figured out that last part. I'm not clueless, thankfully.

[A smile.] Would you like me to take you back home? [Now that he was driving, and Lancer looked... fairly okay, he wanted to ask.]

[Action]

[croibhristeoir]

Er...if it's not any trouble, I suppose so.

[Okay. Color him impressed. Lancer assumed he would have been faster than this as a Servant, but as a human it was fairly impressive.]

Where are you currently staying? [They can be driving bros. Neah would be happy to teach Lancer.]

[croibhristeoir]

I'm still living at the hotel.

[god help us all, he has no Riding skill to make that easier.]

[Action]

[revivedpianist.livejournal.com]

Oh. Me as well.

[This should be easy! It wasn't a far drive, and they both lived in the same place, so it was easier.

[surely nothing will go wrong here]

Is traveling like this as common as it seems?

[Action]

[revivedpianist.livejournal.com]

[nope. not at all.]

Yes. But to be able to even use this, it appears that you need to pass a test. [guess who hi-jacked a car and almost got arrested for not knowing!]

[Action]

[croibhristeoir]

Really? Interesting. It's a complex piece of machinery, so I suppose that makes sense.

[Action]

[revivedpianist.livejournal.com]

[And then that terrible thought occurs.]

Would you like me to teach you? I do not mind you using my car.
