For a few moments, Saber was silent. That did explain it... certainly, her Magic Resistance had prevented the curse from completing its grisly work. What her Master said made plenty of sense. It had pierced all her defenses and attacked inside of her. It had appeared like blades in the interior of her body and attempted to cut its way out. If the curse had been allowed to finish its work, she would have perished on the first night. Even the thought of that was something horrible. The white-haired girl no longer wanted to contemplate such a possibility. She would serve her Master to her absolute fullest.

"It may be that Caster possesses a long ranged Noble Phantasm," Saber responded, frowning to herself and folding her arms. After a short pause, she raised her eyes once more to gaze at her Master. "Regardless of what threats were are encountered with, however, I won't let you be harmed!"

She gave Mira a firm, confident smile. She couldn't allow such a thing ever to happen again.

"... But I think defeating Caster as soon as possible is for the best," she added, "... If you would permit my suggestion, Master."

After another moment's pause, she continued.

"... I... have another selfish request, Master, ah..." she paused. "... I should like to investigate the town during the day. I... I know you are concerned about being attacked, but... My Lord, I think it would be for the best that I know our battlefield. We won't be attacked during the day, so, ah..."

She hesitated again. This was unfair to her Master, wasn't it? It make such a request after the attack last night. But Saber feared a lack of knowledge of their location could be even more deadly towards her Master then simply being attacked.
