ITP: Wandering

[promised_victory]

[Action: Throughout Midgard]

[This was not what she'd expected when she had agreed to come here. If she's honest with herself she isn't sure just what she'd been expecting. The last Saber remembers clearly was being on Camlann Hill, her body in excruciating pain, and then.... it's a haze what the Valkyries had said to her even though she remembers the idea behind it and Hephaestus had been kind enough to answer her questions once she was able to. Saber supposes it might have been the blood loss making her delirious at the time, but she remembers agreeing. She had resolved to live without regrets, right?

So she wanders the city, her damaged armor had been repaired and sent ahead to her apartment while she'd been healing. Excalibur, on the other hand, was returned to her and she used invisible air to fashion a sheath at her waist so that she could carry it with her unseen now that she could no longer summon it out of the ether like before. It was always best to be prepared though she felt naked walking like this without her armor on. Light as it was, getting into it would be a hassle now. And she'd enjoyed being able to skip the chore of tying her armor on and removing it at the end of a battle, but that was a fair price to pay for being human again.

That was another she she knew she'd have to get used to, being human again. Saber had expected to die on that hill not get another chance, a proper chance, at living out her life. Everything about life before felt so distant now. Could she even call herself Saber anymore?

While these thoughts go through her mind she looks through the city to get the best feel for the terrain. If she's truly meant to fight for this place she fully intends to get to know it well. It could very well be her home for years before they managed to make even a dent in their enemies' forces.]

(ooc: Putting this up while I have a moment. Will tag replies to both this and Goku's post once I get home from work later on.)

[Archer himself is wandering about to make a mental map of Midgard, and is thinking about the mess he had just tossed himself into. Oh, sure it made -sense- for a Counter Guardian to volunteer for a multiversal threat, but now it was dawning on him that a lot of familiar faces he really wasn't sure he wanted to see were here as well.

A lot of them.

Speak of, he notices someone immediately familiar walking along the street. That...wasn't good at all. Saber wasn't someone he necessarily disliked or even had a reason to hold enmity towards, but if this was the same one he knew, she wouldn't appreciate the potshots he took at Shirou in the battle.

So he acts casual and waves to her.]

Yo. Got roped into this mess, too?

[She never did, but the last she'd seen of him, well, he'd basically died so Rin, Shirou, and she could escape Einzbern Castle. She also knew Rin had hoped he'd survive the encounter somehow and yet he had fought so valiantly. Still....

Luckily the parallel world part had sunken in by now. She looks up at Archer and nods.]

Yes, I have. I owe much to Hephaestus for allowing my presence here to be possible.

[No hostility. Thankfully. Either she hadn't talked to Shirou or he didn't know a lot of those explosions were his fault. Though something seemed a bit...off compared to the last time he saw her.

She wasn't reading like a heroic spirit to his senses.]

You don't say. Fresh from some kind of danger, then?

[promised_victory]

In a sense.

[And had seriously thought she'd been delirious when the Valkyries arrived, but that's another matter entirely.]

What about you? Would Rin happen to be here as well?
