☙VIDEO;

[ Saber is seen tangled up in a red blanket (which she totally pilfered from Gilgamesh's abandoned home) with a pair of lion cubs licking the other's face and neck, one of them slightly larger than the other. It seems the larger one enjoys the blanket as it continually rubs it's nose against it, neglecting attention to the younger cub. Saber herself seems to be doing well. Hard to believe she was killed just a while back. ]

It seems people come and go here as often as the sun sets. [ Casually spoken without a hint of despair to it. ] Is there anyone you have noticed that has gone missing? This is a realm where death is a cruel joke, hardly to be taken seriously at all, but it still pains one's heart all the same. The same with people who leave here. If you require protection during your stay, no matter how brief or long it may be, I ask that you seek me out. I am with my knights within this place and can assign a chosen to assist you.

[ A pause, almost as if she wants to speak on something else. Instead, she shakes her head and cuts the feed. ]

...'Questionable standards'?

[ex_cashcow493]

Anyone that does not appear normal. A suspicious individual. Most notably, men who do not have a woman linked around their arm.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't think that in itself is suspicious in this age, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

It most certainly is. I read the average age for this city is in the early twenties and you are well beyond twenty seasons, are you not? [ A yawn. ] Forgive me for that, I have not been sleeping as well as I used to. Where was I--ah yes, I also read that men prefer to marry younger women in this day and women prefer to marry older men.

[ Says the girl who looks how young? ]

[croibhristeoir]

...But I'm twenty-five.

[ex_cashcow493]

And I am thirty-five.

[ Huh. ]

I suppose I am the more mature out of the two of us. Then I cannot be your trophy wife, my apologies.

[croibhristeoir]

[LANCER YOU IDIOT YOU JUST COCKBLOCKED YOURSELF]

A shame, I suppose.

[AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT]

[ex_cashcow493]

I will find you a younger one. It should not be too difficult.

[ What is this conversation anymore? ]

[croibhristeoir]

I really don't know if that's necessary, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

Are you going to wait for your true wife to come here instead?

[croibhristeoir]

...

[Boy, if anything could catch him off guard, that certainly did.]

That...would be leaving things up to chance more than anything. There's no way of saying when or even if Gráinne will ever arrive here.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Or if Kattu ever hates you enough. ]

Although I doubt she would complain if you had a trophy wife. Then there would be three of you together.

[croibhristeoir]

[ffffffffff]

Somehow I suspect she wouldn't be too thrilled about the idea. Never mind the fit Sola would certainly have if the two ever met.

[ex_cashcow493]

Nonsense, I was told--[ And she may be speaking from experience here. ]--that it was a treat if there were three people in the act of intimacy.

... Common practices in this day and age surely are strange.

[croibhristeoir]

[...well. That sure was a thing she just said.]

Considerably so.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Maybe Saber shouldn't place so much faith in the word of others... ]

I was given all of this advice and none of it is applicable to my own desires. I only hope it can aid you in some manner.

[croibhristeoir]

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. At this rate, we may well be the least unusual aspects of this city.

[ex_cashcow493]

It was certainly easier when Archer was here to make a fool of himself.

[croibhristeoir]

That's true.

[ex_cashcow493]

Speaking of fools...

[ Rolling onto her belly on top of the cubs, who are going to be busy squirming underneath her for their freedom. ]

I am having trouble with my knights.

[croibhristeoir]

Trouble? How so, exactly?

[ex_cashcow493]

Two of them can hardly stand the other.

[croibhristeoir]

Did something happen?

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, but it is not my tale to tell. I just think I will have to do as I did before.

[croibhristeoir]

Is there anything I can do to help you?
