At the very least, Saber could not see herself disagreeing with that point. Fully understanding what her Master could do was a wise idea, as was explaining her own abilities. So, the black-haired girl decided it was wisest to quietly listen to her Master's words as she explained what she was capable of. Defense, it seemed, was her primary focus, and to be truthful the Servant felt it was a wise one. After all, it could hardly be said that having good defensive options was a waste of time. Indeed, while her knowledge of magecraft was lacking, she could certainly detect that there was quite extensive displays of it within the walls of the mansion. However, the other matters her Master brought up were... somewhat troubling. This was a potential location for the manifestation of the Grail? That meant it could potentially come under heavy assault at any time, and even with their defenses she could not be certain that it was possible they could not be breached. Indeed, in this scenario, Saber felt certain that this place would come under attack at some point.

"I am absolutely certain I will be able to protect you, Master," the Servant insisted, nodding her black-haired head as she did. That was a solid, unshakable fact in her mind. She wouldn't let anyone reach her Master. She wouldn't allow it at all. She wouldn't become a failure, not again. To the end, she would protect her Master's life. In spite of that fact, Saber did not find much appeal in the idea of a purely defensive strategy.

"And, certainly, we must verify our intent to participate in the war," the black-haired girl began, "However, I cannot say that I agree with utilizing a purely defensive strategy. While the merits of this location as a fortress are high, my capabilities are best used for the elimination of targets in battle. As Saber, I am an offensive warrior, and my abilities reflect this fact. I am not certain I am best utilized playing the role of a guard."

She paused for a moment to allow this information to sink in.

"In addition, remaining here allows our opponents to build their own defenses. Caster, for example, may become far more dangerous then otherwise expected if allowed to construct a workshop. To put it simply, it would be absolutely foolish not to attempt to locate and defeat such a Servant quickly."
