Who knows? [He offered a shrug, playing the question off as though it meant nothing at all.] Too long, that's for sure.

[That wasn't the case. In fact, this conversation was the most important thing in recent memory to Lancer. It was hard--impossible, really--to keep a sincere smile off of his face as he answered.]

It's good to see you again.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Shifting the weight of the pokemon in her lap, she watches him with a keen eye. The body language he used suggested otherwise, but calling him out for it didn't seem prudent to the conversation. Instead, she just returns his infectious smile with one of her own, growing wider by the second.

If anything, he always knew how to get past the fortress she's built up around her emotions without even trying. ]

Surprised to see that you remain in these parts. Returning to the Throne of Heroes seems to be an option denied to you hm? [ A bit teasing, a bit too serious. She knew how much he loved the thrill of the fight. ]

How are things?

[solas_ion]

I've been pretty good, actually. This place suits me well enough, all things considered.

[It was true, he did prefer a good fight to just about anything else. But there really was nothing worth complaining about here, annoyingly peaceful as it was.]

Can't say I'm in any hurry to leave.

[ex_cashcow493]

Pretty good--well, I would like to increase that, if I may.

[ This is one of those moments where a perfectly timed confession could occur, but for heroic spirits who have moved beyond that? Saber's intent was something else entirely. ]

Have you regained that which you have lost here in this world? For I feel the power of mages coursing throughout my body and would love to find one as evenly matched as I.

[ YOU WANNA FIGHT, BRO? ]

[solas_ion]

Funny you mention that...matter of fact, I'm feeling pretty back to my normal self as well.

[In a flash, he was back in blue and silver armor with a dark red lance in his hand.]

So if it's a fight you want, I'd be only too happy to give it to you.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ For warriors like themselves, this was a more proper way of communicating. Lancer's enthusiasm only reflects back onto Saber as she gently nudges her Pokemon off of her. Once she's on her own feet, it doesn't take her long to magically transform from her winter apparel into an armored gown fit for battle.

More importantly, her sword isn't hidden behind the shroud of wind she usually uses to conceal her identity. There's no need for that here: everyone knows that she is King Arthur. Except for, you know, all those newcomers in the past year or so. ]

It'd be good to stretch out our legs and get some much-needed practice in while the opportunity to do so presents itself.

[solas_ion]

Sure, sure. It's been a long time since I had a fight worth having.

[He twirled the lance in one hand before moving lazily into a fighting stance.]

So, come at me whenever you're ready.

[ex_cashcow493]

Ladies first?

[ Naturally. Perhaps the reason many women found him to be charming was because of his chivalry towards them. Being unable to deny their offered hospitality and to protect them, what maiden wouldn't find him desirable after a bit of grateful attention?

He would give her that same attention, but in a way that translated well to her. A knight's battle is one better suited for the two armored Servants. ]

You honor me. [ There's another man she's thinking of when she shifts her posture by bringing an armored foot forward, readying herself. ] I am thankful for that.

[solas_ion]

Not at all--I'm out of practice. I can't very well take the first strike with less than my best, and I know I can count on you to make me have to fight up to standard.

['You can definitely kick my ass into gear.']

[ex_cashcow493]

[ That she can. If it's practice he needs, then she will give him a thorough workout. ]

Very well.

[ Hope he's recovered his sense and speed both, as she wastes no time in closing the distance between them with her sword raised overhead. An unusual blow, not like her own full of side and under-swept strikes, but she did make it a fairly easy one to dodge.

Warm up.

No harm done, right? ]

[solas_ion]

[She was just as fast as he remembered, but with the speed of a Servant--of a Lancer, no less--it was a simple motion to follow and avoid. Even if he was getting accustomed to his own abilities again, instinct had never really been lost.]

Nice, nice. You haven't lost a step, Saber.

[Lancer shifted his own stance, taking a few light and almost experimental jabs at Saber's legs with the blade of his own spear.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Her legs are well protected if not by the blade she wields to counter the tip of his spear, then by the metal greaves that protect them. She's speedy, but not as quick as him--only just enough to keep up. ]

You have always been so quick in your attempts to drop a lady to her knees. [ Just a bit of a tease as she pushes back in towards him, trying to keep him within striking distance. With a weapon like that, he's more troublesome the further away he is. ]
