It was no shock that all the gore, regardless of probability, seemed to conveniently avoid the Emperor standing right beside it. Were the audience suitably enthralled for a bloody sport, were there baths on the horizon--then she would likely have been as blood spattered as the other Saber. It would, after all, have been merely temporary and for a worthy cause. Yet to spend days stuck on a ship, with no way to really remove the drying gore aside from unpleasantly salty water...

When they made landfall, like the others, she gravitated towards the statues, inspecting them curiously. It was such a glorious regiment, if it were one, synchronised, ready... too synchronised. This was simply an implausible level of discipline for not only all of them to have been frozen together but for all their weapons prepared the same. If [i]her[/i] soldiers couldn't manage that, it wasn't like anybody else would have been able to!

"I think that unless Medusa developed a hobby of trying to get identical statuary out of intruders, these must be actual statues of some sort."

Hours... only hours to arrive at their destination. Even with favourable winds and Servants using the Riding skill to guide the craft more expertly than normal people could, this was far too short for a sailing voyage of any considerable distance. Which, honestly, meant that things were even stranger than normal, Greek myth was known for its love of [i]long[/i] journeys, not things such as the Gorgons and Colchis being on top of one another. Though of course, there was another thing to check--this was an unusual ship. And she wanted answers anyway, so the magus found the old man.

With a poker face, of course: "What is this vessel? Most would have been quite damaged earlier."
