⚔ 008; [video; morning of 10/24]

[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.]

I can't seem to find m-...

...Oh, there it is. How on earth did you end up in my shirt?

I assumed you put it on me. Is that not the case?

I don't...recall doing so. Did I?

[Either he was sleepwalking or sleep-shipteasing.]

I do not recall.

[ Or she was sleep-shipteasing in her exhaustion. ]

Regardless, here you go. [ Yes, she's just going to pull that thing up towards her head to remove it. What is being a knight and with another knight? ]

[BARELY EVEN GONNA BLINK AT THAT.]

[u mad, gilgamesh.]

Thank you. [He put it on and ran a hand through his hair to get it out of his face.] How's your arm feeling, by the way? I hope you're not too seriously wounded.

[ Pulling the blanket back over her shoulders, she lays back down to watch him. ]

I will recover. It is but just a scratch, Lancer.

You mentioned that last night. I just thought I should ask so I could be certain.

[ Holding out her arm from under the covers towards him.

Those bandages need to be changed again already. With a frown, she pulls it back in towards her. ]

I will handle it when I return to Archer's home.

[...right. Of course she wouldn't stay, why hadn't that occurred to him until right now?]

It would be little problem for me to take care of it now, if you wanted.

I have imposed on you enough for the day, have I not?

That would imply this was at all an imposition to begin with.

It is not customary for a man to tend to his opponent's wounds.

...why do you assume I only think of you as an opponent? Did I not swear loyalty to you?

You did. However, does it not seem strange to you that you are the one to nurse the wound you dealt to me?

Why shouldn't I, as long as I'm able to?

Is it not difficult to enjoy victory when you are helping me to recover from it?

Saber, it is a far less simple matter than merely enjoying victory. There are a great deal of aspects to these events I find myself enjoying, and helping you with your injury would take away none of that.

[ A great deal of aspects, eh? That catches her curiosity. ]

Such as?

Last night was...notable, to me, for many reasons. Whether I won or lost is irrelevant, as events themselves would still have been significant.

That was the first time I have fought for purposes entirely my own. In doing so I was able to give you the respectful and honorable duel you deserved, seen through to its end. I would have been just as content to have lost under such conditions.

I'm...happy, Saber. For the first time in so long that I'm not sure if I have ever truly felt as such.

Happy..

[ Way to make the guy happy for reasons unrelated to their UST, Saber. ]

I understand. It soothes my own thoughts to know that I could have helped you in such a manner.

[Somewhat unrelated.]

I'm glad to hear that, Saber.

You are?

Of course. I would be concerned if our duel somehow resulted in any kind of malice between us.

Malice... no, I cannot think on such things.

I would hope I've done nothing to upset you.
