I promise I won't hurt Saber. [Shirou can't even do that because he made her suffer too much. He feels entirely guilty and responsible for letting things get this far.]
Is it all right if I explain now? [He doesn't know if they're ready to hear it.]
[ Already Saber is moving to sit with her legs folded under her like a proper lady. Serve the tea Shirou, Saber is waiting! She agrees with Rin after all, as if that weren't already too clear. ]
As you know, I'm Saber's former Master. I formed a contract with her and entered in the Holy Grail War.
[Shirou just pauses awkwardly and spaces out.]
Damn, I'm not sure if I remember what happens after. [This is annoying, he just wants to tell them what happened.]
I just know that I lost Saber shortly after I summoned her. There was something like a black shadow interfering with the war. I think Saber lost to that thing.
[ Rin only knew that because he told her, but yes. Go on... or not. ]
... that's it? You made a big stink only to tell us that you don't remember?
[ Taking a long and drawn out sip. ] A shadow interfering with the war doesn't sound natural in the slightest. It must have been an outside force of some kind. You don't know anything about its origin, Emiya?

Without tea? Who the hell raised you?

[Shirou leaves for a minute or two and hands Rin a cup of tea like he said he would. He pours some for Saber as well because why not?]
no subject
[ Sipping from her cup slowly. ] Provided that Saber is all right with you going ahead with an explanation, that is.

I wish to hear it as well.
