Week 1, Day 1 | dimidium facti qui coepit habet
CITIZENS!!
[Good morning,Vietnam Terminal Tokyo! There's a midget shouting on the D-Terminal.]
First, to whomever is responsible for rescuing this humble Emperor from oblivion, you have my thanks; ready though I was to give my life, I can hardly complain about a pardon. Your service will be rewarded!
Ah, but... [The tiniest hint of hesitation enters her voice; she's not sure she wants to ask the next bit, but... really has to. Positive thoughts, Saber!] ...there was another, whose processes were running in the same application, who was in the very same danger as I. Could it be that she was also saved? [...] Or, if not, perhaps it is not yet too late...
Don't worry, Saber! [The second voice comes from off-camera, perhaps near Saber's feet...] If you're a Chosen Child, then she probably is, too! You keep talking about how special she is...
[Well, that perks her right up! Have some enthusiastic nodding; how could she have been so foolish?]
Indeed, it is as you say, Salamon! Magnificent though I might be, no-one in their right mind could pass over Hakuno; she is a treasure without equal! She must also have been 'Chosen'...
[...and then her face contorts into a peeved sort of frown; something else has just occurred to her.]
...however... age notwithstanding, she is no 'child'. And neither am I! There may be many women of thirty that would take such a label as a compliment, but my looks, my accomplishments, all have been refined by maturation!
Maybe it's because you're the right height for a child? Or even smaller...
S... Salamon-!
[Aww naw... that did it. Her D-Terminal forgotten, Saber kneels down, until her face is inches from that of the precious little puppy that's serving as the peanut gallery. For a long moment, she looks about ready to roar in the little guy's face; obviously, his offense was greater than the average onlooker could know. Maybe he was about to die? That would be awfully cold, though, even for her...
...but, after what seemed like ages, she finally relented, as she turned away, and puffed up her cheeks in a childish show of annoyance. Well, at least it's not murderous rage anymore?]
...t-topics such as my height are forbidden, understand?! [...] And so is making that face, when I am trying to reprimand you; no-one is heartless enough to remain angry before it...
[There's a little hint of a blush on her face, as she storms off... leaving her D-Terminal in the grass, near Salamon.]
But, Saber... this is my normal face....
[And, as obediently as one might expect from a creature that appeared canine, the already-beleaguered partner of the overbearing little person that's been assaulting your airwaves picks up the abandoned device in his mouth, and trots off after his partner, bumping the off button in the process.]

Saber is literally pouting over here.]
S-stranger? You would label me a stranger, to whom you owe your life? Who was it, Rin, that carried you away from harm, when the alchemist sought to destroy you?
[Seriously, she looks genuinely hurt.]
And who was it that you shared a tender moment with in the infirmary? [...] ...several tender moments, to be precise.
[Focus, please.]
I know you to be a harsh girl, Rin Tousaka, but not a heartless one! Or was that impression incorrect?
[...you might be overreacting a bit, dear.]
video;
[ How can she forget all of that? Her cheeks give away that she remembers an inkling of it, but there's also anger flaring up just as quick. There was a Servant in red--did Lunamon go off and tell this strange woman that whenever she started talking about Hakuno? ]
Don't talk about such personal memories of mine where everyone can hear! Now tell me where you've heard of that stuff this very instant or else I-I-I-I'll kill you!
video;
[Folding her arms meaningfully!!!!!]
At the least, don't dare say that you don't remember those things, or I will spank your bottom until you cannot sit!
[This is a completely genuine threat.]
video;
[ This woman is... ]
You're nothing like that man who I did those things with. Did you say your name was Saber?
[ Her embarrassment begins to fade away as something else distracts her: finding out who this woman really is. ]
Saber was our enemy in the Holy Grail War.
video;
But, oh, look, something to get Saber's hackles PROPERLY up.]
F-f-f-f-FOOL! Don't dare compare me to the wretched excuse for a knight! That we even share the same class is a scourge upon me!
That was Gawain, Tousaka! I am Nero! I was a mighty emperor, beloved by her people, feared by her enemies; he was a sad fool who would pledge his loyalty to the first lord that came to call! The difference should be clear!!!
[....................................wait shit
SHE'S BAD AT THIS]
video;
[ Guess what she's going to be called from NOW ON and only because she reached up that short skirt of Rin's to bunch up her own panties? This asspain is atrocious and therefore she takes it out on the Servant with ease. ]
I'll compare you to another Servant all I like because that's what I do. I'm a Master, you seem to know that much, so why does that surprise you?
