Who: Lancer, Saber, anyone
When: Day 38, morning
Where: 4th floor nature
What: BATTORU!!!! ... and Lancer's life... =_(\;

[Those early morning waking Thusians may have noticed the sounds when they woke. Metal on metal, ringing out from the fourth floor. Those who choose to follow the sound are treated to a knights battle between Saber (the blue one) and Lancer (the male one). AN EPIC KNIGHTS BATTLE! SO EPIC YOU SHOULD WATCH F/Z JUST TO IMAGINE HOW EPIC IT IS! (or watch this amv for as good as we can find)

For those who have not become fully functional without their morning coffee, it may seem odd that they would be fighting so early in the morning. For those who woke early and have been there for a while... it's been hours of this... with the occasional and unspoken cease fire alliances to off any creatures too stupid to stay away. From the looks of things, it probably could go on for a few more hours.

...

Except when Lancer jerks his head around towards the stairway with a horrified expression just in time to miss the parry. As Excalibur buries itself into his side, his scream has nothing to do with the pain of the sword]

CAYDEN!?

You're just setting yourself up to be killed then.

Harsh.

Participants are most often Magi. That isn't harsh at all for us.

Magi? Diarmuid mistook us for those when we talked.

Magus? Mages? Magicians?

Oh. Magicians- [pauses to look down at Aegis]

If you can sustain a Servant as Cayden is . . . [ eyes drop to Aegis too, thoughtfully ] then you have to have some prana. The rules are really different here though and neither me or the professor knows why.

Potentials don't need to have magic, but we have something more than regular humans. But we have magicians... [slowly, as if trying to repeat someone else's words]

Magicians can technically pact, but they're not allowed to.

. . . why not?

Give me a second, this is the first time I've heard this.

Magicians are descended from Spirits and humans. Each family has a different special ability. But with the politics between them, allowing pacts would only make things worse.

[ . . . haaa . . . haha . . . ]

Ah, I see.

Something wrong?

"Potentials", "Magicians" . . . your pacts are so different from ours.

I call it fair, since yours are so different from what we learned.

It's pretty rare in my world too. Usually only for the Holy Grail War.

[shakes his head, sssoooo much to absorb]

Maybe I should just let you explain to Cayden instead of me trying to when he's back.

Sure. I've participated twice so.

[nods, then sighs because that's the end of that distraction]

. . .let's find something for you to do.

... And what do you suggest?

I don't know. What kind of person are you?

[shrugs] I like working with my hands. Normally I'm repairing cars, but it's not necessary here.

You're not going to go out into nature, right?

No. I can't fight well enough to help, I'd just be in the way. And it's not a good idea if I disappear on him too.

So let's be productive at home.
