[h2]Saber - Artoria Pendragon[/h2]

Artoria was about to open her mouth, to firmly state she was not looking dejected, nor impatient at all. Such things were unbecoming for her, as a knight. Certainly, she wanted the food to arrive quickly, but at the same time, acting in such a manner was inappropriate.

... Not that it changed the fact that she had, indeed, been acting impatient.

But before she could say anything, their burgers arrived. Immediately, the scent of the Triple Imperial(which did not in fact have three patties, but instead was described as being almost like three patties in one) was richer then other burgers offered by the by the establishment. There was also a distinct salty, but not unpleasant hint of fish... and when she took a bite...

The flavor was rich, with strong hints of spices and a definite taste of a savory, salty fish-based sauce. But it was hardly unpleasant, the preparation was quite excellent and the flavor was rather unique. Indeed, it was clear to the knight why such a burger would be sold at this establishment, and she was certainly intent on finishing the entire meal.

But that could not come to pass.

The lighthearted mood was shattered when an explosion rocked the kitchen, tossing injured bodies into the air. In a single motion, the Saber had placed her meal back onto the plate and risen to her feet, golden light rising from her body, her clothing seeming to vanish in a flash to be replaced with gleaming silver armor, over a blue, white, and gold dress.

In her hand she gripped what, to observers, an indefinable hazy shape, her blade cloaked in Invisible Air.

Her demeanor, from simply taking in the flavor of her meal to deadly serious, had shifted in an instant.

The people working in the kitchen had merely been performing their job. The patrons of this restaurant merely enjoying their food. And in an instant they had been brutally attacked.

This would not stand.

"Master," Artoria began, turning to face the sight of the explosion fully as she placed both hands on her sword's hilt, "I cannot permit this attack."

The 'whys' of what had occurred could wait. For now, what mattered was the safety of the people in the restaurant. It appeared as if the blast had targeted a tan-skinned Servant with a great shield and spear and her somewhat brutish-looking Master.

The Saber's eyes narrowed. While she wished to defend her Master, she could not stand idly by while people suffered and potentially died.

"I must intervene!"

With that, she crossed the room in an instant. Her first action was to grip a chunk of rubble in one hand and lift it off of a fallen employee, a young man who had been working the counter, with little effort. In a moment she had pulled him from the wreckage, noting he was still breathing, and placed him out of harm's way before returning to the site of the explosion. While moving the injured from harm's way was important, so to was identifying the attacker.

Whom the tanned Lancer and her Master seemed to have some awareness of.

"Who is the attacker?" she asked, sternly, glancing towards the two of them.

[h2]Tsugihara Runa[/h2]

"Wh-"

Her ears were ringing. While she wasn't close enough to the explosion to be harmed by it, the blast had still been loud enough to start her ears ringing, to nearly knock her out of her seat.

But she was a magus of the Tsugihara family, and this was not about to keep her down.

Runa assessed the situation, noting that several of the people in the restaurant, most of the employees and several patrons, had been injured in the explosion.

"Saber, can you locate the perpetrator? They can't be far!" asserted the magus as she glanced at her Servant. With her Saber's agility and sharp eyes, she felt certain it was possible.

As for the people who had been caught in the blast... getting them out of the way would be the best option. It wasn't as if Runa cared much for these strangers, no way! The only reason was, well, they could get hurt worse if more fighting broke out or their injuries were untended...

...

Drawing a paper slip from her bag, she raised it into the air and allowed it to fizzle away in a flash of light, the ethereal form of a fox materializing in its wake.

"Akane, start getting them to safety," she ordered the fox, which sprang through the air immediately to begin pulling the nearest victim of the explosion away from immediate danger.

[h2]Mihama Nanako[/h2]

"Aaaah..."

Meltryllis's tongue was sharp as ever.

"Er, well... I'll go see what I have in the fridge, maybe making breakfast myself would be a good idea..."

Nanako rose to her feet, stretching. Aah, she felt way less sore now. It was almost entirely gone... she probably shouldn't strain it, but that didn't mean she shouldn't take advantage of the fact she could actually move her arm properly now.

"Haah... I'll try and get something together for breakfast and then take a shower..."
