[h3][center][color=9afeff]Saber - Servant of Angelina Flores[/color][/center][/h3]
A chuckle passed over Saber's lips as she regarded her Master with something akin to parental warmth.

[color=9afeff]"There is no shame in being a healer, Lady Flores. It falls to people like me to fight wars, but it is thanks to people like yourself and your father that we may prevent the spilling of undue blood."[/color]

[color=9afeff]"However..."[/color] she crossed her arm as her eyes narrowed to appraise the girl before her, [color=9afeff]"It would be a lie to say that your lack of combat ability does not worry me. As your Servant it is my duty to fight your battles for you, and such should be the fundamental structure of this ritual. Servants competing against other Servants. But as our anchors to this world you continue to be our greatest weakness, and consequently, will receive no shortage of attention from our opponents. To lack the means to fight is to lack the means of protecting yourself should I ever be separated from you."[/color]

If Saber appeared cold then it was because she had stripped herself of her familiarity to offer her Master an honest opinion. With Angelina's very life on the line, it was best to address things as they were.

[color=9afeff]"You lack the will to inflict harm on others, and should the time come when you are left with no other choice, your hesitation could no doubt cost you your life. It is an unsuitable stance to uphold during a War like this one, but as problematic as it is, it is also admirable."[/color]

Saber's expression softened as she comfortably leant against the surface closest to her Master.

[color=9afeff]"Your intention of asking the Grail for an end to conflict is a worthy cause to champion, and though you may lack offensive abilities as of now, were you not already deemed worthy by the Grail to claim it the moment these Command Seals appeared on your hand? So please do not fret over the things you lack. In fact..."[/color], Saber took on a playful smile, [color=9afeff]"I must confess that I am quite weak for a Servant of my Class, so I am certainly prone to receiving no lack of injury. A warrior like myself knows only how to swing a blade, so I would be in trouble if I had no one to mend my wounds."[/color]

Funny. How an act as trivial as talking to her was enough to put her heart at ease. If possible Saber wished for conflict to never come, for the Grail to choose its victor on its own accord, but of course such a thing was impossible. Six other pairs had gathered in this city. And while Saber counted herself extremely fortunate that her Master ended up being a girl of gentle disposition, she couldn't expect this miracle to repeat itself sevenfold. The dusk of war would soon settle upon them, an inevitability Saber kept in mind, but for now she had her Master to attend to. Ensuring Angelina's physical and mental health came before all else, since she wasn't sure for how much longer she would be able to guarantee it...
