[ Saber has been staring at Shirou, whether he notices it or not, sitting at the table, her eyes like daggers in the boy's back. She's not happy, not with these new revelations she's learned from Archer about the path Shirou has decided to take. He had given her the strength and courage to do something with the time she has, instead of returning to the time of her death.
There is no answer from her though, just staring. ]
[It's taken her a little longer to finally talk to Saber than she would've liked, but Sakura had to work up some courage for it. She's a little scared to talk about all this after all, and she's worried about how Saber will take it. This isn't something she can keep delaying though, and finally she makes the call.]
Hello, Saber? This is Sakura. If you're not busy today, I was hoping we could talk.
[ Saber is not scared of a little talk! But she is...uncertain how to feel about it. She's not used to these long distance type interactions, but she is trying her best. But finding out more about what happened, after speaking to Shirou about it all, still leaves her uneasy. ]
I am free for now. Rin is working on her computers.
[ Like she's about to ignore something like that! Is he going to lie about that to her too?! ]
I have not. [ She can't help but focus on food first but then... ]
Shirou. You have been hiding the truth of things from me since I have arrived here. Will you tell me how you are injured or will you hide that from me as well?
[ He's not the only one bothered by things! But she is looking sternly at him, finally speaking after he speaks first. Doesn't Archer know that shows weakness? ]
I wish to hear your side of the story. On how you were injured.
{ OOC | this def takes place after the 'rescue' log that goes up etc etc }
Saber, where are you? [ Rin asks as she walks into the kitchen, expecting to find her. Some people are just predictable and Saber... unfortunately is the easiest to predict out of the three.
... also rejoice Rin is dressed nice for once, but can't go anywhere without a hole in either her skirt or shirt. It's the law. ]
We don't spend much time together. I'm changing that starting now.
[ Of course, Saber happens to have a piece of string cheese in her mouth, her ahoge appearing before she does. She has to quickly decide whether to stop eating or finish it before answering and...she decides to swallow the rest of it quickly. ]
I am here, Rin. [ Just give her a moment to digest that! And awkwardly blink a few times obviously enamored with Rin's outfit. ]
[ Is this...some kind of code? Saber has no idea, but she just looks annoyed at it for a while, and the picture isn't much help either. She could ask Rin but she's busy right now. ]
Who is this?! Why are you sending me these?!
[ Saber doesn't like people playin' on her phone. ]
Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx
[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!
(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))
Saber. You have proven yourself excellent at speaking with others on my behalf. There's something I need you to organize, but letting people know I'm involved might complicate matters ?? At least if I ask them, it will.
Do you know much about this Secret Santa exchange that is going on ??
[ Along with this gross shit is a package labelled "For Saber!".
Conveniently wrapped in Japanese paper are a giant black bow, and a rather simple Christmas card. The card's cover only has Widget's smiley blue face :) on it. It should be obvious who it's from!
Dear Saber,
Here's something which I think would look so nice on you. It's black, so it's formal, and I want to say that it's pretty knightly! I hope you think so too! :D
[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on her door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be, Saber is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Saber. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she will find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Saber! I remember seeing you at the slumber party, but I don't think we got to talk! But that party was lots of fun, and that's because of everyone who attended, so I want to make sure you're all having really great Christmases! And that maybe I can help if you're not! So this is just a small gift but it's filled with a lot of good wishes for you!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Saber's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a white braided ribbon bracelet with blue pony beads decorating it, a hand knit white dog key chain with blue (??) spots on it, and a small notebook with a floral print on the front, a pack of very very soft kitten stickers tucked inside the cover.
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]
[ Of Saber waits until Christmas, and she's actually kind of excited to open it. She's not used to celebrating a holiday like this. She's even moved to see the stocking and all the things inside. Now she just feels bad that she didn't speak to Mabel more!
So she sends back a text message to her, as it has become Saber's better method of communication lately. ]
Thank you Mabel, for your Christmas Present. :)
[ Athena taught her emoticons. ]
I had not expected to receive a gift from you, you did not need to go out of your way for me. I hope you will not mind me sharing it with my Master, Rin.
[In the package for Saber is a helm. Only one that covers her head and doesn't hide her face. The design is a bit intricate, giving it the semblance of a protective crown almost. Of course, it matches her armor color.
Archer worked hard on pounding this out, praise him!!!!]
[ Saber puts it on... confused. It's a very nice helm, one that she feels like would actually wear into battle. But... Archer made it. She can only look at him confused. ]
[ On the evening of the 24th, Saber will find that she has a present at her doorstep -- Inaba's making sure she ninjas out when she gets there because she knows who Saber lives with and she really doesn't want to deal with that person right now.
Inside the black box is a rather fancy kimono dress along with a 10% off coupon for anything in the Tech and Auto shop! Inside is a typed out note that reads: ]
Merry Christmas, Saber.
You seem to enjoy dressing up a lot, so I got you something nice to dress up in. I don't know if you'll like it, but I thought something like this would suit you, so hopefully it's to your tastes.
[ Saber had not expected gifts at all, so to find one from Inaba makes her feel... happy. Welcome. That sort of thing. And when she sees the kimono she can't help but smile. ]
Thank you for the gift Inaba. I hope it did not set you back too much. I would be glad to wear it. Though you might need to explain to me when the proper time to wear such a garment is.
[ ...Since Inaba always seems to call Saber out on wearing things at the wrong time! ]
[Hopefully Saber won't mind receiving a small gift from Sanji! The package he leaves for her is wrapped up all nice and pretty with a big bow on top. Inside it is a cookie tin filled to the brim with handmade chocolates, cut out in all different shapes. Below the cookie tin is another small box, in which there are red and green decorated chocolate-covered strawberries. And of course there is a note attached:]
Hi Saber-chan!
Hope you like sweet things! Just a little something for a lovely lady~
[ ...Desserts. Sanji you don't even know... how you are currently surpassing Archer in her book.
And so she sends back a text message! ]
Thank you Sanji for the present. I have not had anything like those before, the chocolate and strawberries. I wish I had been able to get you something in return.
