[ On the rooftop most likely, away from Rin's ear, Saber stands in something excessively cute with all the ribbons and bows you could expect, but with a serious look on her face and hands on her hips. ]
[ While that partly may be true, she knows more about combat tactics than anyone else, enough to know her own strengths and weaknesses, she doesn't like Archer being right. ]
I do not understand your motivations Archer. You had no trouble breaking your contract with Rin before. Now you act as if you worry for her safety.
This is an idiotic conversation. Just admit that what you really want is for me to admit that you're somehow superior and have immense insecurities about it. Either way, I don't want to be a part of that.
[ Saber is not trying to cause trouble with everyone, she's really not. She's just difficult sometimes. ]
My superiority has no place in this matter. I am attempting to understand you better. I do not wish to be enemies. There is no Grail to fight for, and no reason for us to be at odds.
Who was it that instilled knightly honor in me? Who was it who reinforced that self-sacrifice made a person who they were, despite the fact that the same self-sacrifice ruined your life as much as it did mine?
You want to understand me better? Look at all your mistakes and multiply them by the entire world rather than just England. Then, you just might get it.
Then you do not wish to blame only Shirou, but myself as well?
[ Okay, that hurts, you've hurt Saber, good job Archer. ]
I do not blame others for the path that I had gone down. I failed my country, and my people, but they are my own mistakes. I only wished for Shirou, for you, to become the man you had the courage to be. If you wish to blame me...then so be it.
[ She lowers her head a little, showing sincerity. ]
Where's the courage in not having your own ideals? To borrow from your father and your Servant; faking as if your life meant something. Your mistakes were yours. Mine were because people allowed me to run unchecked; no soul, no spirit. Just clinging to the faces of others, hoping to once again see that smile yet never having anything for myself......

I wish to take over those duties. And to see her trained in combat.

I know how you are, Saber. One slight and your opinion drops significantly. Turn traitor and you will never trust them again. So why try?
action;
Date: 2015-02-13 04:12 am (UTC)Do not try to dismiss your actions as a mere slight. You attempted to kill Shirou on more than occasion. You think of yourself before others.
[ Why does she try? ]
I wish to keep Rin protected.

I wish to play a more active role in her protection.
