Comments

[homoenculus]

[That was all of her cans sorry]

My Ilyasviel... Why... if she wasn't the vessel...

[tirant]

[HOLDING. YOU. UP. YES]

She was still a Master. She ... still summoned a Servant.

[homoenculus]

[Her hands tighten on your arms a little desperately]

No... No, that's not... [No no no.]

[tirant]

She was avenging her father. I'm sorry.

[leaving it at that for a moment, then closing her eyes, shoulders tense]

I should have told you this years ago. I was afraid. But failing Ilyasviel like that - I have lost enough. [picking you up a bit, so you're eye level with her]

Irisviel. I would gladly rule a hundred Britains, if you were my Guinevere.

[... and ... kissing ... you]

[homoenculus]

[-- Too stunned by everything right now to even really stop you.

What. What.]

[no_hero]

[is, however, fully capable of VETOING this action by pulling Iri away from this--this NOT-Saber and holding her close]

[homoenculus]

[She will just cling to you and tremble a little. Or maybe a lot.]

[unwieldyfate]

[and as soon as he has Iri, she steps in between them and Saber, armor materialized and sword pointed at her]

GET AWAY FROM HER!

[tirant]

[really. really?]

[tirant]

[knocking the tip of your sword away from her, irritably and offhandedly, meeting Excalibur with ... Excalibur]

Don't be foolish enough to take this further. I would never lay a hand on her in malice. You have my word on my sword and my kingdom.

[no_hero]

You've done enough.

[tirant]

... Kiritsugu. I didn't realize you knew the meaning of such a word.

[homoenculus]

[Regaining enough composure to interject]

S-Stop it, all of you!

[tirant]

[keeping her sword at the ready, looking to otherSaber]

I was not the first to point my sword at another today.

[unwieldyfate]

[her own Excalibur returns to its original position after the initial knock and does not move from there, eyes set firmly on her]

I have no reason to trust the Grail's words.

[tirant]

Do you believe Irisviel's word tainted by her origin, as well?

[it's a simple question. a yes or no will do.]

[homoenculus]

........

[no_hero]

[tightening hold around her, protective]

[tirant]

[well]

[i'm waiting]

[no_hero]

No.

[tirant]

And does Arturia Pendragon agree with Emiya Kiritsugu?

[unwieldyfate]

. . . Yes.

[tirant]

You think me a liar? What do you call standing beside her in the Fourth War and loving her, and denying her the chance to hear the words from your own lips before she died, all because you were too arrogant to see your presence in her life beyond being a Servant as anything less than a burden to her?

Kings are selfish creatures. It's in our nature. But I am no longer so selfish that I enjoy hiding my own feelings because my guilt is more important to me than their satisfaction.

[homoenculus]

Saber . . .

[unwieldyfate]

[oh no you did not]

BE QUIET AT ONCE!! You—you sad, shameful excuse for a king.

[gosh the grip on someone's sword sure is shaking right now]
