[Action; Palace District]
[...Well, chaotic introductions aside, Shirou had been spending his time wandering around and getting a grip to this place as he just tried to get a fact through his head: That he's not home anymore and that he's actually fighting for the sake of his own world. But... to Shirou, what's even more worrying was the presence of certain individuals here. Ilyasviel von Einzbern and Kiritsugu Emiya. The former he knew was never a combatant of any sorts, and he quickly found out that this one is from another world where she's... a magical girl.

That one's still hard to swallow.

Kiritsugu Emiya, though. Is a different thing entirely. The man's his father, and he looked pretty much ready to keel over from whatever was ailing him before his death. Not only that, it appeared that he... had given up on living? Whatever that was, he knows that right now, there are two people that he needs to make sure of their safety.

In any case, Shirou is now just wandering around, a thoughtful face in place rather than his usual gentle one.]

This place's really interesting, isn't it? It's totally different from my hometown, I guess. What about you guys? How different is this place from the one you're from?

Oh, and my name is Shirou Emiya. Pleased to meet you all.

Um. Yes. [Kill her now. Why is it he's the only one to ever make her feel this awkward? It may have been a month for him but for her it'd only been a few days and she had thought she would never see him again.

She thought she would be well and truly dead.

Saber clasps her hands, gives him a small smile. Even if it is awkward what she says next is true:]
It's good to see you again. You look well.

[Is he.... crying? Over her? Shirou, she never wanted that. Don't do that. Saber steps toward him, reaching up to pull his hand from his eyes. Somehow, the way her stomach flips doesn't make her stutter as she explains:]

The Valkyries found me on Camlann Hill, not a minute after I left you. Lord Hephaestus apparently has machines in his workshop that can heal a person even from the brink of death. So here I am.

[She's stiff as he pulls her into the hug. Even if it's Shirou she's not used to receiving affection. Yet she finds herself relaxing in his embrace because it's Shirou, even returning the embrace and holding him like he's the most precious thing in the world to her. In a way, he is. This is her Shirou. It has to be.]

I.... I'm sorry I had to leave when I did. I held on as long as I could. If I had just a moment more I would have--[Except she doesn't know what she would have done.]--I don't know what I would have done.

[Sap Alert!

He said he--well, she knew. He'd basically declared it to her repeatedly, but hearing him be so blunt about it makes her blush and lets a small smile creep over her features.

Maybe.... maybe this could work? Her only obligations, she believes, is to this place for saving her life. As to the safety of her world, she knew it would be safe until Shirou's time. She had realized she couldn't change the past even if shrugging off old thoughts and feelings was proving to be difficult. Maybe doing this one thing for herself, this one little thing, couldn't hurt?

Part of her wonders if these are the same thoughts Lancelot and Guinevere held when their affair began but she drove the thought from her head to keep from dwelling on it.]


I'm glad. Would you.... would you be willing to cook lunch for me again?

[Is she in love with him as a person? Or just his cooking?]

Hey!

[Normally, Gilgamesh is pretty good at reading the mood and not interrupting touching reunions. But something was up with the girl here, aside from her almost Ayaka Sajyou-level beauty.]

The two of you look familiar. You don't happen to be--

[This is the point where one or the other presumably interrupts him.]

[Try turns, shoves Shirou behind him like the maidenly type he is, and brings her still-Invisible Wind-covered sword before her.]

What are you doing here, Archer?

[It's around now that it registers he doesn't look quite like the Gilgamesh she'd known.]
prototype_king: (now back to me)

A wind sword, hm?

[Gilgamesh seems unsure whether to focus on that impossible-to-see weapon or the oddly familiar face behind it - he settles for staring directly at the face and talking about the sword. The man, at this point, completely escapes his notice.]

You must be another one of Saber's relatives, to hold Excalibur so casually and be dumb enough to re-use the same disguise. I'd ask if you're his niece or something, but I'm more curious how you know what I am when you aren't a Servant.
