It's funny you say that now while you're bleeding all over my floor. [ Sighing, she holds her hand not quite used to the pain. It felt real... and then it cements in her mind that this was realer than anything in the Moon Cell. ] And Saber-!
You know better than to pick on the weak and the stupid!
[ Sorry Shirou. Not that she stops there; knowing she stands no chance against a fully powered Heroic Spirit and another Master, she holds up a hand to type... mid-air? It looks kind of stupid really, but once the code release_mgi(b); has been activated, the AOE stun will spread out in the room.
At least she's not lighting them on fire?? ] What's going on between you two-?! Saber, you're usually better composed. Emiya, you're stupid, but not stupid enough to fight a Servant on your own!
Hm, I can't argue against that because I look pathetic now. [Shirou just grumbles at that and checks his condition. He's bleeding and it hurts, but it's not something he can't deal with. Thank you for not setting them both on fire, Rin.]
That's not necessarily true. [He fought so many Servants on his own.]
Saber and I have our differences and we let it go too far. Isn't that right, Saber? [At least agree with him on this one thing...]
[ Her name being yelled like that makes Saber just look like a scolded puppy. She had definitely acted out of turn, and in a way that could affect her Master. She had forgotten herself for a moment, and let her emotions get the better of her. She is ashamed.
The Stun does...little to nothing to Saber. Thanks magic resistance. But she does understand Rin's anger with her, and only looks more embarrassed. ]
I apologize.. [ She wants to explain Shirou's change, how he is not the man she...cares for, but Shirou gets his words out first, and she's unsure of whether she should still explain or not. Eventually, she just decides to nod slowly. ]
[ IF SHE KNEW HOW TO SET THEM ON FIRE, SHE WOULD HAVE. TRUST HER. Fortunately there will be no fried Emiya to ship home to Sakura today... only bloody Emiya. ]
And you're still arguing with me, god what is wrong with you, Shirou Emiya!![ Don't answer that. ]
Ugh! I can't send you home while you're bleeding like this. Miss Sakura will be upset and I'll never heard the end of it so... [ Pointing to one corner of the room. ]
Saber, go over there!
[ And to another: ] Emiya, you take that one.
And Archer I know you're there so you better get in the third corner I swear-!
[ Things had really gotten out of control, and Saber couldn't contain her emotions. So now she has to slink off to one of the corners of the room, like a scolded puppy. She doesn't think to talk back, just obeying as a Servant should. Once she's in the corner though she tries to put the blame on herself, instead of Shirou. ]
The fault lies on me, Rin. You may punish me as you see fit, but please, let Shirou...and Archer go.
[ She adds in Archer, because she does think he did something of a good thing for telling her the truth of the situation here lately. Plus he cooks. ]
[ He's in trouble for standing around and watching this all happened. Clearly. As a Servant, it's his duty to interfere in these matters and yet here he is, just playing witness to them instead. ]
When you're in the corner, you're not allowed to speak. That's the purpose of a time out. [ Maybe once they stop acting like children, she won't have to wave around this sudden maturity!!!! ] So stand there and think about what you've done.
... Emiya, you can sit since you're bleeding. [ SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO HELP HIM WITH THAT. ]
[ Saber has clearly never been in time out before. She knows that she had perhaps gone too far with Shirou, but it had been for a just cause she had believed. She would like to tell Rin but..it's difficult with Archer and Shirou still here.
And so she follows instructions and doesn't speak, her eyes moving from Shirou, to Rin, and to the floor. ]
How long do you intend for us to stay like this? [ Okay, so she can't help it. ]
[Shirou shrugs and then takes a seat. Rin's priorities are so strange. Why are they doing this?]
Tohsaka, can I treat my injury first? You can yell at me after. [He's just trying to look after himself! Saber's stare is painful and he can't exactly look at her directly. He definitely owes her an apology, but he doesn't think it'll do much.]
No, you're going to bleed out in the corner until I decide what to do with your corpse. I wonder if it's too late to start the mummification process...
[ Within a minute or so, she's back and dropping by his side with a first aid kit. ]
[ Saber is a little unhappy with that particular outcome, unable to keep herself from speaking up. She doesn't want Shirou seriously wounded, and if she had to she would help him herself. But she manages not to move from her spot in the corner just yet. ]
[Shirou's terrible at making jokes, but he can tell that Rin isn't being serious. He shows Rin his injury and he just sighs once while thinking back on his own actions. It was a mistake to be so rude to Saber and he thinks he deserves this.]
[ Saber's face visible twitches in obvious worry. ]
Please, do not...
[ That hurt to hear, to hear herself have to beg for Shirou's life. It's hard for her to handle the thought that she could have killed Shirou because she let her anger over his situation get to her. But when she sees Rin actually doing the opposite, she lets out a sigh of relief, trying to met Shirou's eyes, to tell him she is sorry. ]
[Rin's treating Shirou's injuries and he winces at that. She's really nice despite what she says. Saber's expression makes him feel sorry too. They shouldn't have fought over this to begin with.]
I won't allow myself to die from this and you know we're sorry. [All he can do is give Saber a reassuring smile so that she won't worry.]
[ The sound she makes indicates her disapproval at being chided, but since she has no clever rebuttal for his remark, she remains quiet. Maybe it's best to let them sort through their feelings in time out while she just patches him up? At least they can't hurt each other across the room.
Any more gentle and they might figure out she's a huge softie underneath all of this tsun. Terrible. ]
[ She doesn't need Shirou to fight her battles but...strangely she doesn't hate it either. The fact that he is worried about her is something she can't help but feel nostalgic about. Though watching Rin tend to Shirou makes her jealous in a different way, Rin is her Master after all!! ]
I am the one at fault, Rin. Shirou's fighting ability is not the same as it was in Fuyuki. I had to know whether or not he spoke the truth. I will not fight with him again.
[ No, because now she's pretty sure she wouldn't lose, though it still leaves the question how she ever lost to him in the first place. ]
Why would I ever lie to you? [Shirou isn't angry at Saber for doubting him. He expects this from her because of everything that's happened so far.]
I've only told you the truth, Saber. Things are just different for me now. I can't fight at my full capacity anymore. [Thanks for looking after his injuries Rin, he appreciates it.]
You're aware the point of being in time out is so that you two don't speak, right?
[ Even if she's scolding them, she doesn't intend to force them to stop. It helps to hear them talk it out even if she's so removed from the conversation herself. ]
Emiya, why can't you fight at your full capacity? Are you hurt? [ Finishing with his bandage, she leans back to admire her work. Perfect. ]
[ Eep. Saber realizes that she's been talking a lot herself, and sinks back down a little into her corner, grasping her hands demurely in front of her and lowering her head. ]
I apologize. [ How many times has she said that now? But she looks up a little with pained eyes, already knowing the reason why Shirou cannot fight well. ]
Wow, you really are stupid. [ It just kind of comes out?? ]
Saber, get your sword back out. I think if we hit him really hard around here--[ Tapping the side of his head. ]--that it might knock some sense into him. Then he won't be stupid and stupidly risk his stupid life ever again.
[ Sorry Rin, but even though that sounds like a command, Saber manages to keep herself from summoning Excalibur. If she really wishes her to draw her sword after hearing that confession from Shirou then she'd need a Command Spell. Especially since her previous one kinda goes against that. ]
That should not be possible. Saber says this mostly to herself. You were able to project swords fast enough to fight on par with Archer and Gilgamesh. You manifested a Reality Marble.
[ Saber wishes she understood everything that had happened to him now more than ever. ]
[Despite what Rin says Shirou knows that Saber won't do it. He just lowers his head.]
I'm so sorry. [Shirou and Saber keep apologizing like broken records. Make them stop.]
Saber, I know you're telling me the truth and I won't doubt you. It's obvious enough that we witnessed different things during the war. I just want to know why this is happening.
