[For Saft] On the Eve of Battle

[ranthatbitchover]

He had sensed Archer and his master here. Against his wishes they were hiding in the foliage of the forest, waiting for a sign of movement in the dark. This just wasn't his style, and it showed in how he fidgeted.

If Rider had his way, he would be leading the charge into the trees and barreling through everything until he found Archer and broke him. Literally broke him.

...but that's not what Saft wanted. So he knelt beneath the taller trees, fidgeting in discomfort. Desperately his eyes searched for a sign of movement.

"...anything yet?" Rider asked, almost whining. He was whispering, as best he could anyway - it was a normal speaking level for anyone else.

RANDOMLY PICKS A NAME OUT OF THE AIR.

The threesome arrive outside of the mansion they had one met up before. It was where the ball was held when all the servants and masters had actually all been introduced to each other and yet Caster had managed to keep her guise a secret back then for a short period.

-"So we going in then?"

"We wouldn't have come here if we weren't."

-"Whoaaaa, you're serious?! I thought when you came over outta the blue like that we were gonna go hang out or something!"

"Idiot. What kind of arcade opens up in the middle of the night? ...I'm heading in. You and Saber stay out here. Caster will be expecting a group of us... It's probably better if I go in alone."

-"Saft are you really okay with this!? I mean...what if- And...And...I just really care about you okay?! Everyone in my family's been counting on me to win the Holy Grail but the truth is...I don't wanna lose to just anyone! You better come out there in one piece! Kick Caster's butt so you and me can fight this out to the end!"

Daisuke's outburst kind of takes Saft by surprise and she blinks as he carries on. "Then maybe when this whole stupid thing's over...you and me. We'll go on a date okay?!"

Once again Saft blinks and then finally sighs with a little bit of a shrug. "...You really are a weird guy. But that's okay...I'm starting to like weird." She places a hand on his shoulder and smiles. "Okay then...it's a date." Finally turning her back on the hyperactive young man she takes a deep breath. She's not sure if Caster is actually waiting inside for her or Rider but she needs to have this meeting with Iskandar's mother. She's terrified of course but she's putting on her bravest face as per usual despite of all the fear swelling deep insode of her stomach.

Saft takes a step through the door, She's fairly certain Caster won't mind if she doesn't announce herself. Besides she probably heard Daisuke's outburst already. She takes another deep breath and moves onwards...she's hoping Caster will give herelf away.
