I have carried this burden so long for you that nothing but sorrow I feel; (CLOSED)

[ex_cashcow493]

Who: Saber (Arturia) and Irisviel von Einzbern
Where: New Bark Town
When: March 23rd
Summary: Irisviel arrives and Saber's quick to go pick her up. Takes place after this thread!
Rating: PG, might contain Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night spoilers!
Log:

[ Even as she soars through the skies, Saber can't hear anything over the sound of her own heart beating hard in her chest. Irisviel was here. Irisviel was alive. Even though Johto has given her so much, this certainly ranks as the biggest surprise she could ever have. This was unexpected. Even if seeing people who had died (Gilgamesh) and people from parallel worlds (Merlin) were barely enough to dent her stoic willpower, this woman with white hair completely changed her opinion.

So it doesn't take her long to arrive in New Bark Town dressed as she used to be with the black suit and her hair in a less girly ponytail. Once there, she's quick to start looking around, Willow leaping off of the Dragonite to join her trainer in the hunt. ]

[ Irisviel was talking with some kids when they pointed out the flying dragon arriving to the city. She was curious, so she gently followed them to said place and when she noticed who was there, she was really surprised.

She holds her hands together in her chest. Her knight was in front of her once more. ]

Saber...

[ex_cashcow493]

My lady. [ Her princess. Her Irisviel. Maintaining a calm composure, she gives a firm nod. ] I did not keep you waiting for too long, did I?

[justicareplica]

Of course not. [ She smiles fondly at her. ] You did arrive in time, as you always do. How have you been?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ On time. How that statement is cruel to her with the knowledge of the future. ]

Yes, of course. [ As for how she's been... that's a more troubling matter to answer. ] I am alive. Fully human.

[justicareplica]

[ Sob she doesn't know that!! ]

I see, such as I am. I never imagined to one but it does feel nice.

[ex_cashcow493]

Hm? [ Taken by surprise by that. ] You think it nice to be fully human, my lady?

[justicareplica]

[ She looks down for a moment with a smile. ]

It does feel.. new for me. Something I never imagined that could happen to me. And that's what I find it nice, Saber. [ She goes and takes her hand with hers. ] We both can feel the same..

[ex_cashcow493]

[ The same...

That's right. Now that Irisviel was here and fully human, Saber was much the same, wasn't she? While she was used to warm flesh and a beating heart, there was no mystical power keeping her in that state. ]

We both have beating hearts and a good head on our shoulders. What more could we desire?

[justicareplica]

[ Her words truly meant a lot for Irisviel, as she express with a smile full of those feelings she can show now. ]

Spending time with you like this... It makes me really happy. [ Her voice was sweet, specially for her. ] I would like to be at your side all the time you want me to, [ She makes a pause for a moment, then speaking bit lowly, she adds. ] Arturia.

[ex_cashcow493]

So long as you are happy... [ Saber can't ignore the warmth that radiates around her cheeks as she stares the woman over. ] Of course. I would be honored to do just that, my lady.

[ Being called by her name like that... It's something she's informed Johto they could do, but for Irisviel to do it without that knowledge... it's refreshing. ]

T-Thank you.

[justicareplica]

[ She doesn't know what the future has for her, but she can assume as much that the end of the Fourth War was different that what they have planned. But watching Arturia like this, being happy with just her company, Irisviel feels truly blessed to have such wonderful one at her side here. ]

I should be the one thanking you for everything. [ she lets a small chuckle out at that. ] I'm truly grateful that we could be like this and that you are next to my side.
