"Eh?" Rider blinked at his Master screaming at him, her sheer volume and the embarrassed rage that poured from her causing some hint of awareness to slip into his consciousness. Oh right, she was naked. You weren't supposed to do things like that these days, were you? Though he didn't see why it mattered: she was just a little kid anyhow. Or [i]looked[/i] like one, at least. Still, her anger reminded him of someone, and that made him feel like he shouldn't make much of a fuss about it!

Holding up his hands, Rider backed out of the room. "Err, right! Just...take all the time you need then, Master. I'll be on the couch until you finish getting ready."

Though he really hoped she wouldn't keep him waiting too long. He wanted to enjoy the day before he had to get back into the thick of it again! Not that he wasn't [i]really[/i] looking forward to testing the worth of these other servants when the time came, of course. And the thought of finishing his battle with Saber was always front and center in his mind...albeit, he understood that this would likely come at the war's climax.

He didn't foresee any finer opponent than her, after all, and it would be a shame for every fight after to seem like a step down.[/center]
