[ooc: This is a joint post with

caliburns, because misunderstandings happen a lot with these guys. Expect responses from both of them.]

[The phone fell to the floor when a small misstep caused Lancer to nudge the table it was on--in accordance with Murphy's Law, of course the video turned on. For the moment, it focused mainly on a lump of sheets and blankets a skilled eye might recognize as Saber. Just offscreen, a familiar voice could be heard muttering to himself.]

...thought for certain it was here yesterday, it's not as if it could just wander off.

[Lancer wandered onscreen, mostly in the background as he carefully examined yonder closet.]

[Now, Prospero, you may well notice three things about Lancer. One is that his hair is notably disheveled. Another is that he has a nasty looking pair of scars from some kind of stab wound lined up on his chest and back.]

[The third, directly following the second, is that he's not wearing a shirt. Sharing a room with Saber and not wearing a shirt. Scandalous. ~~Also hot damn.~~]

Are you awake, Saber? I seem to have lost something. [Pause.] Additionally, I think that perhaps we should discuss last night. That was an occurrence of no small significance for both of us, I think.

[Silence. The blanket lump shifted--you have disturbed the sleeping lion, Lancer.]

...It is at least safe to say I will be feeling the effect of that final thrust for some time yet, Lancer.

...perhaps the conclusion was a bit more forceful than I'd intended, yes.

[WELL SHIT PROSPERO, DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. TOO BAD, VIDEO CUTS OUT THERE.]

If only you put as much effort behind valiant words as you do childish antics, then maybe you would be a suitable ally.

Goldi--Archer? [ That's a strange nickname. ] Why ask questions you already know the answer to, Lancer?

[Blame Tohsaka for the nickname. It's catchy.]

There's an interesting saying in this era, Saber. "Talk is cheap."

I'll save my valiant words for when they matter, and a lazy conversation like this isn't really the place for that kind of thing.

...As for that question, well, maybe I'm hoping that the King of Heroes is less of a child than he lets on. It's embarrassing to hear about.

There are better things to place your hope into.

[ Does she need to go whoop him back into respecting her? Cause she'll do that whole defying his spear thing. ]

Oh? Sounds like he's making himself a nuisance again.

[Any time, sister. I don't need no Gae Bolg to know how to ROCK.]

People hardly ever change.

[ Unless LOVE hits them.

Also, he might have better luck hitting things with another weapon. ]

That's true. You and the kid seem more or less the same, even though--

[There's a pause, and the conversation takes a turn away from the inane?]

Say, Saber. How do you remember the fifth war?

Why?

[ She's not going to answer unless he explains why he wants to know. ]

[Because shut up is why. No but seriously.]

I had a talk with Emiya when I first got here. He remembers different events about it than I do. Guess I just want to know where we all stand on that matter.

Different events.. Well, what do you recall, Lancer?

...I suppose the easiest way to go about it would just be the order we were eliminated in. Rider first, throat crushed. Berserker was second courtesy of Gilgamesh. Caster third, and myself fourth. [He made a disappointed tut-tuting sound at that.]

Well, I don't have any facts to base the statement on, but I'd say you were probably the last one to remain after that.

[ And now here's a question to make him kick himself in the face with: ]

Who defeated you?

Heh, sorry to crush your hopes, but it wasn't you.

You know my real name, right? Who, more than anyone else, contributed to my defeat in life.

[Phrased as a statement, not a question. If she can answer it, good for her.]

What about your war? Emiya didn't give me many details other than "no no, that's not how it went" and some crap about the mage's association.
