Well there went dessert. And the rest of Chabi's appetite, which was a shame because the dumplings had been pretty good. Chabi left one and half of them to languish on the plate as the director went back and forth with the people in the room. Whenever the red haired woman's eyes cut sharply to Saber, Chabi felt sweat build up on the back of her neck. Should she be doing something? She didn't disagree with her servant, she did want to know what was going on, but somehow it felt she was gaining the director's ire. For her part, Saber just raised an eyebrow at Ritsuka. If the director wanted to drag things out for the sake of the dramatic, then Saber supposed she couldn't really stop her. Though the servant did wonder if she'd actually broken some kind of unspoken rule of this era. She did not feel remorse for the comment though, especially after the director threatened to have her wait in the hall. At that Saber laughed, high and light. In her eyes it was like a child throwing a temper tantrum that their play had been interrupted. It continued with Ritsuka asking if Chabi had anything to say about the current situation. [color=Gold]"Huh? Me? Well, uh..."[/color] Chabi fiddled with the little charm attached to her bag, her eyes darting between the director and Saber - the latter of which sported an amused smile. As it turned out, the question had been rhetorical. Or it may as well have been, as the director and her assistant were drawn into an argument. Chabi let her head fall onto the table in front of her with a dull thud. [color=Gold]"Sab[i]eeeeeer![/i] You nearly got me in trouble!"[/color] she whined. Saber sighed in response. [color=LightSkyBlue]"Pick your head up,"[/color] she tutted. [color=LightSkyBlue]"Despite what Chaldea's director said, it seems she's given us quite an amount of information already."[/color] Chabi peeked up from behind her bangs. [color=Gold]"Yeah, all that stuff she said about last suppers, not having a chance to say anything later, saving the world, the Coffins, and Assassin showing up and mentioning [i]that[/i]..."[/color] she trailed off, but it was clear that the young magus had come to more or less the same conclusion as the others. Their time had come, they were being called up the big leagues. Master and servant then turned their attention to the master of Assassin, curious to hear what she had to say.
