[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

The white-haired girl's shoulders sagged. He was still... she hadn't made herself look authoritative or anything at all! What was she going to do,? She'd pretty much totally failed... but she couldn't just... not even try and explain herself. No, not at all! She was a member of the Konpaku family, she had to do her best to uphold the honor of that name! But now it seemed so difficult to even get anything out, after those comments... "I... I w-was trying to push you back from the edge! It's... not my fault I... b-bounced off... somehow..."

Youmu shifted awkwardly, but she was snapped out of her embarrassment by the boy's question, and the subsequent arrival of another girl, this one in blue, with a strange weapon. For a few moments she stood in silence, unsure of how to react to the new arrival or the boy's question. The little girl, Last Order, seemed to think she wasn't a bad person... Youmu didn't, either! Youmu did her best to hold up the Konpaku name, to treat others well, and serve Yuyuko to her utmost capabilities. So she couldn't be a bad person, right?

"I... I have never heard of a place called Academy City," Youmu began, with a deep breath. She hadn't, at all. Never once before had she heard of such a place. However, she would never harm an innocent child! "But on my honor as a member of the Konpaku family, I will not harm any innocent child!"

There. That was more firm and serious! As Youmu spoke, myon drifted from one shoulder, then to the other.

[h2]Saber[/h2]

Saber's green eyes fixed on him as he spoke. The King of Heroes was unquestionably her enemy, and her fists tightened as she fiercely stared at the blond man. However... she could not do anything. Not here. There were so many people around, people who could be harmed in a fight. It was not something Saber could conduct in good consciousness, she could not begin a battle that would doom so many people. So instead, she remained still, staring him down as she did.

"... The only thing that stays my blade is the risk it would pose to these people," Saber finally said, her voice steady, but tinged with anger, as she briefly gestured to those around her. The audience let out an impressed 'ooooh' and she heard the clicking of more pictures being taken. Did they not guess that there was danger? Even if Saber was attempting not to reveal anything... Ah, should she have mentioned her blade?! ... No, she couldn't avoid it, not in the face of Gilgamesh.
