[h2]Fio Mal-Rai[/h2]

Still grinning, Fio gave firm nod in response to her Servant. Right, that was quick and to the point, and to e truthful she could respect that. It was exactly as he described, after all. He was now bound to her, and he was her only chance to obtain the Holy Grail for the Association.

Caster's suggestion that he got to know the landscape made perfect sense to Fio, as well. Even if her Servant had not made such a request, doing so was immediately on her mind when she first arrived in Redrock. One of her first acts as preparation for the war upon arrival was to do some thorough investigation of the town and the surrounding areas, as well as utilize information provided to her by the Association. It was half-way between a large town and a city, it seemed, caught in development. Around it was a large forest, perfect for covert operation if you so chose. In Fio's opinion, while she wasn't an idiot she was also not the stealthy type. Besides, if her Servant was Caster, couldn't he manage the subterfuge?

"Of course, of course," she said, waving her hand. "It doesn't make any sense not to get a good look at the battlegrounds, now does it?"

[h2]Saber[/h2]

Saber was silent as she regarded her Master. For a few moments, quiet, it seemed as if the somewhat taller girl before her was hesitating before confirming their contract. She could not say she particularly approved of such hesitation, but perhaps it was simply a case of the girl needing to get her bearings. As someone who possessed no capability for the use of magecraft, Saber had no knowledge of how such a ritual as the one required to summon a Servant would affect the summoner. So she did her best not to comment on the hesitation, though it was a struggle to hold her tongue, and wait until her potential Master accepted.

At last, the girl indeed did, and Saber stepped forward, clasping both her hands in front of her before bowing low to her Master. Holding this position, she began to speak. "My class is Saber, as stated. I should certainly hope that mishearing what is said to you is not a common occurrence, as that could be very dangerous in battle."

She paused for a moment. Now, though her Master seemed to easily miss information if she did not know what Saber's class was and required it repeated, it was a simple fact that the Japanese Servant truly wished to speak of her deepest desire to the girl.

"I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity you have granted me. To serve a Master once more and aid them in battle is my sole desire in this war," she continued. It was all she wanted, the opportunity to once again serve a Master and fight for them, to conduct honorable combat against foes in the name of winning victory for the one who commanded her.

Saber rose, straightening at last from her bow, and tilted her head upwards to look directly into her Master's eyes.

"I [i]will[/i] win you the Grail, for that is my duty."
