[There is no network call or the usual screaming demands of where, why, and how. The newest arrival to Prospero does nothing to make her presence known. Though, anyone walking along the shoreline of the island this afternoon would probably notice the new face.

BECAUSE THERE IS AN UNCONSCIOUS GIRL FLOATING FACE UP IN THE MOTHERFUCKING OCEAN.

Thankfully close to the beach's shores, at least. Still... Help would be nice right about now.]

[ Wait a second, isn't that the girl that Leo kept talking to and treating like dirt? ]

Are you ok?

[Assuming this is after she's rescued from drowning in her sleep---]

.......!

[Hakuno lets out a startled gasp and quickly scrambles to take a step back. The color drains from her face, and her sweat starts to mix in with the sea water she's drenched in. Her body wasn't trembling from the sheer cold anymore, but from utter terror. Even breathing is starting to become a difficult task. She just narrowly escaped Julius's Servant, only for Leo's to be in front of her. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, she supposes.

Hakuno glances around, frantically looking for her Servant---No. Even if Saber were here or not, they were far from battle ready. Her mind runs in several different directions before she settles on a single thought:

Oh god, how did I end up alone with this shining menace?! Am I... going to die here?

By instinct, she shuts her eyes to brace herself for impending doom.]

[He can't just leave her out in the cold, even if she is the enemy there's no war going on right now so the least he can do is help her out.]

If you can't stand I'll carry you. [Offering up his hand to use as support]

Also I'm not going to get in to some pointless fight with you, there's a time and a place for when I will have to fight you but for now lets just put that behind us.

[Hakuno's eyes slowly and cautiously open when she felt no incoming deathblow. Confusion is clear in her eyes upon hearing his offer for help? He claims that he wouldn't attack her, but... Could Hakuno really trust an enemy Servant? She makes a quick search in her mind for what she knew about this particular Heroic Spirit.

Sir Gawain from the Arthurian legends, well-known for his courteousness. Also known as a defender of women, earning him the reputation of "the Maiden's Knight". His chivalry is the theme of many medieval romances... The chance of him using under-handed tactics were low, and Leo didn't seem to particularly care about me being pitted against Julius...

I think I can trust him. For now, anyway.

She gives a slow, hesitant nod, and takes his hand to help get onto her feet. She feels like she fell from a ten-story building, but she's not exactly comfortable with the idea of being carried around by Gawain, enemy or not.]

... I can stand on my own.

[One less thing for him to worry about, she was able to stand up on her own. So she couldn't have been hurt to badly.]

Good, I take it you'll want to find Saber as soon as you can correct? She's become good friends with my king so she might be with her.

You need to be careful at night as well, don't go out in less you're with someone else. [He's just being helpful, there's no need to get someone involved in the shadow mess if they can't defend them selves.]

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[At the mention of Saber, Hakuno nods with agreement.

Yes, it would be nice to know where she is. Though by "his king", did he mean Leo? That's a strange pair.

The mention of not going out at night alone is puzzling, though. It seems to be common sense, since a girl her supposed age should be doing that sort of thing, but... Her curiosity got the better of her:]

Why?

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

It's very dangerous, even if you're with Saber. Someone who cannot handle a weapon or fight on their own stands no chance of winning against the monsters that come out at night.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Isn't that like the Arena, though? Why would it be dangerous even if I'm with her?

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

It is like the Arena but everyone here has been striped of what ever powers they once hand.

My advice is to just stay inside, if you must go out go with Saber and make sure you are well armed. You haven't gotten a persona yet but she has so you'll be a sitting duck for the most part if you go out.

[willdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink... This is a lot to take in, but...]

Persona...?

[The blank expression made it perfectly clear that it would be nice to inform her on what that is.]

[white-knightin.livejournal.com]

Ah, well a persona is part of one's self. I really don't know how to explain it that well, but they're used to defeat monsters called shadows who show up during the dark hour at night.
