PS: Now that I think about it, this is a good chance for Mordred to show her character development from Apocrypha (more than she's already). It'll probably be interesting to see Lancelot's reaction to how the Knight of Treachery has changed.

Though, the same can be said of Mordred's reaction to Lancelot depending on the circumstances.

@KoL

Hm, reverting it back then. If it's common knowledge.

Edit: caps lock LOL. Didn't mean to put an emphasis on "if"

@13org

It's probably even more than common knowledge to say the truth. There are a few things that are constant among all the versions of the Fate Franchise, and one of them is the fact that the KotR are consistently put on a very hard to reach pedestal to the point that they are many times considered to be vastly superior Servants than even much older Heroic Spirits from the Age of the Gods. And then, there's the fact that just about every Servant that they come across at least acknowledges who they are, if not outright show respect and admiration.

Now that I think about it, nothing shows that fact better than the fact that I don't think that there's a single official entry in the Franchise that doesn't have at least one of the KotR, or someone that's a stand in for them (in that case of Strange Fake).

They really are the cream of the crop when it comes to Servants.

And that's not even taking King Arthur into account since Artoria is on a whole other level when it comes to relevance and fame.

Fate/Eternum

@13org

Well, Mordred called him Knight of the Looks, which is an obvious play with Knight of the Lake and there's only one person who could ever own that title. I don't think that it would be out of character for anyone to understand that she is talking about Lancelot.

Unless, of course, you're completely clueless about Arthurian lore and, in the Nasuverse, no one is, considering how important/idolized those people are.

Fate/Eternum

Hah, I don't think it's that Secret of Pedigree applies to Lancelot because of the logic bomb of the NP that hides her identity being the only thing that anyone ever saw her by. Just going by his GO line of dialogue where he doesn't believe it's Mordred at first, presumably because out of armour... xD

@Raineh Daze

Now that I think about it, I guess so. Nevertheless, pulling out Clarent should be enough for Lancelot to know who he's talking to, even if that sword don't exactly belong to her.

Fate/Eternum

Mordred: "Hey, Master, you should know that I need to summon Clarent to break the effect of my Helmet when I'm not wearing my armor. I'm not trying to pick a fight."

Fate/esoterica

Lancer

“Elder Sister?”

It had been a long time since Lancer heard anyone calling her in that way. Even discounting the fact that she had been dead for several centuries, it was still a long time since she had any contact with her origins. Nevertheless, it was impossible to negate who the person before her was. The only way to put this meeting into words was fate, almost as if the hands of the Norns had guided them together.

“I’m as surprised, and glad, as you are. To think that one of us would still be walking the Earth after all these long years. It must have been quite… hard for you to endure,” Lancer said, bringing a clenched fist to her chest as she looked at her sister with wistful eyes. “But, to answer your question, the current world seems very kind. I didn’t get the chance to see much of it yet but I think I like it like this. Even if no more great heroes are ever born. Also, if it’s possible I would do it as well as... visit the resting place of my beloved Sigurd,” she said, answering her sister’s excited questions. Though her voice trailed to barely above a whisper as she finished her reply, almost as if she were talking to herself by the end of it.

Kirsi Eirisphere

To think that anyone could not only sleep but also have a good night of rest while tucked away in a catacomb full of vengeful wraiths and witch of legend, would normally be a travesty. But the fact was that Kirsi was used to think kind of environment, to the point that the most noticeable thing she could remember when she woke up was having some kind of weird dream about an old village, a young girl with a big, shiny forehead, and nothing else of much importance.

“I wonder if that had anything to do with Caster’s past. Also, for some reason, I really feel like having some milk,” she thought as she got back to her feet and readied herself for another day.

“Hey, Caster, do you wanna go out and have some breakfast? I had a strange dream yesterday and now I’m really feeling like having some milk and pancakes. If you want, I can get some for you as well,” Kirsi said after she finished washing her face and changing into some fresh clothes.

Fate/Eternum

Mordred

“Oh heck,” Mordred said after she realized what she did by being careless about her surroundings. If this were any other circumstance, she would expect the guy she spat on to try fight back and then they could solve this issue with their fists. However, the bitter look in the guy’s eyes as he turned made Mordred recall something she didn’t want to be reminded of. This guy was just like them — the people who betrayed her father not because they wanted to change the system like Mordred, but rather because they were bitter and hateful towards the world itself.

“Sure, right,” the blonde knight replied to her Master, lightly shaking her head to dispel the frown that had found its way to her face. “It was my bad, kid. Here, take this,” she said as she reached into one of her pockets and offered him a surprisingly feminine looking handkerchief that didn’t look like it belonged to a rebel like Mordred. “If there’s anything I can do just tell me—”

Before she could finish her last sentence, a voice coming from a little behind the boy caught her attention. Who in the name of her Father would call her Majesty? Much less say that they had a meeting scheduled for later. It was only after she looked up and saw who was standing before her that Mordred connected the dots. Of course Sir Perfect would be here in this city as well, wouldn’t he?

After taking a moment to get a hold of herself and avoid another potentially damaging outburst, Mordred put on her best confident grin and said, “I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Knight of the Looks, but the King you are looking for is in another castle.” A moment later, a crackle of crimson lightning flashed inside the store as Mordred summoned Clarent, resting its still sparkling blade on her shoulder in a relaxed way. She wasn’t trying to look threatening to anyone around her but if she had to let these bunch of randoms know who she was, she might as well do it with style… right?

Hinami Asakura

Well, that was unexpected. Gilgamesh taking an interest in her actions was already rare; he doing so when it was a perfectly mundane matter was doubly so. Hinami couldn’t help but feel curious about his reasons, but questioning this man’s whims was all but pointless so she just let the question go unspoken.

“It’s Lord El-Meloi II,” she answered after a short pause. “He's a very progressive figure in the ranks of the association who rose to prominence after being the sole survivor of a previous Holy Grail War. His real name is Waver Velvet if I’m not wrong,” she concluded, adding a bit of context to go with the name.

Fate/Eternum

Catalysts specify a Servant(and in the case of Assassin for a traditional Holy Grail War can overwrite the Class being a catalyst for Hassans), but if you don't have a Catalyst you'll get a good match for your personality.

For example, if Rin had pulled off her summoning perfectly and there weren't certain other circumstances in play she likely would have gotten Arturia because they synch up incredibly well.

@VitaVitaAR

I can almost listen to the whimpers of a certain dog who's said to have the greatest compatibility with Rin in the corners of the Nasuverse.

Fate/Eternum

In all likelihood, I imagine that affinity summoning is the norm, rather than the exception in this context. Since it wouldn't make much sense to try to force the hand of fate if you aren't like a super fan of a certain specific legendary figure, or have a relationship with them in some way.

Like say, Bazett and Cu.

For people who aren't that close to a specific Servant, letting fate roll the dice s likely the most sane choice.

Which, now that I think about it... did Hinami summon Gil just because she's an old lady? Hmm...

Fate/Eternum

Trying to make Indra into a mount is difficult .w.

Think I'll pick another Rider who successfully bullied a god or two instead. We surprisingly lack Greeks, after all...

And maybe my schedule will open up for me to app a Master as well.

@Cu Chulainn

Indeed, we do lack Nero bait...
