[ It's been well over a month since Saber's been last seen making her own call and to be fair, that time was only because Shirou thought it to be the proper thing to do. Not that she opposes technology outright, but the last time she associated with a man who relied on it... Well, the memories aren't flattering enough to be remembered in this new realm with her new life. There are things that need to be taken care of, which is why she's chosen to turn on this device and stare it down. The background appears to be the typical assigned bedroom with no embellishments or any sort of personal touch to it. Saber herself has been introduced as a girl before, but the young features of her face make her look more like a boy who has yet to become a man, complete with a solemn expression. ]

Pardon my intrusion, but I have a request, as well as an offer. First off, are there those amongst us who are skilled at the forge? [ Is there even a forge here? That honestly should be her first thought, but she ignores it in favor of not breaking her stoicism. ] I seek a pair of blades for training purposes. Preferably two-handed and not light in the slightest. The pommel need not be fancy, but the hilt should be easy to grip if the wearer has gauntlets or leather gloves on.

[ She doesn't even look like she can hold a rapier, much less the kind of sword she's describing. ] Also seeking a thick armor fit for a young man, preferably leather so there are no complications in our training. Should you be able to provide this, I would be indebted to you. Money is something I do not have, but there are other negotiations that could be had in this realm.

With that inquiry out, should any of you find yourself interested in learning how to properly wield a sword, plans should be made to speak in person. Substitutes will be provided so long as you are willing to take on my current apprentice in your training. [ Funny how she asks for something, but then says she can provide said item for training before acquiring it. There's no confusion in her gaze, so perhaps she does know exactly what she is saying. ] Sessions will begin at 5am after breakfast. Dress appropriately.

[ Content with that, she ends it there. ]

Speak to Eddie Riggs. [ Priad is the most direct. ]

[video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Where does one find this Eddie?

[ She remembers this fellow from before, but surprisingly she doesn't bother to ask how he's doing. Honestly, he seems not the type to care for that sort of thing. ]

[video]

[priad]

I can't say. But he's on the comm-net here often enough.

[ video ]

[amereillusion]

I... apologize, but I can't help you, there.

[ He's no blacksmith, and he knows he never will be. He feels like he can offer her something, though. ]

I can help you train, however.

[ video ]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Oh, did it look as though she was the one who needed aid in training? She's silent, thinking it over briefly, before a response manages to bubble forth. ]

Will you? [ That came out a bit more confident than expected. ] Experienced with swords or another?

[ video ]

[amereillusion]

My power lies in illusions. Whatever you wish to train against, I can make it into a reality.

[ He didn't mean to insult your pride, Saber. Honest. :( ]

[ voice ]

[formerglory]

What sort of metal do you want for the blades?

[ voice ]

[ex_cashcow493]

Steel. [ Easily answered enough as though there was no other alternative in her world. ]

Unless there is another metal that fits my qualifications. I would be most interested in hearing of it.

[ voice ]

[formerglory]

I'd recommend elementium since it's immune to cold, fire, and electricity damage and is heavy enough that any armor made from it leaves the wearer immobile, thus it's used just for weapons. However, it's very hard to come by in my world, so unfortunately, I cannot make you a blade with that kind of quality.

Thus, I'll go and mine the steel for you and make you a blade. Are there any other specifications you want, such as an enchant?

[ video ]

[betterinthedark]

I'm fairly proficient in leatherworking and skinning. Would you be able to give me his measurements so that I can begin working?

[ video ]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ His measurements? Clearly it's been some time since she's been fitted for armor as she looks a bit confused at the thought. ]

How does one acquire the measurements of their ally?

[ video ]

[betterinthedark]

[ Blazenova's eyes widen slightly at that, as if she's balking at the question before she holds her tongue. Right, no need to gain hostilities here... ]

With a measuring tape, however I can come over and do it for you if you'd like.

[alwaysforhim]

How much do you know in terms of fighting? I don't think I've ever seen a woman so skilled before.

[--well, Morgana, but she hardly counted. She was an exception to the rule.]

[ex_cashcow493]

Would you wish to see for yourself? [ Don't worry, the confident smirk fades a bit into more subtle smile soon after. She'll give an accurate enough answer at least. ]

Enough to best many of the good knights of Camelot.

[Video]

[foolish_seal]

I guess it'd be a good idea to take formal lessons for once. What sort of style do you teach?

[Video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Basic swordsmanship with a combination of European techniques.

[ Even if she was 'familiar' enough with the concept of variety of names for the Eastern half of the world in regards to swordsmanship, there's no way a woman from the Western half could accurately teach someone from that style with confidence. ]

One would have to build their strength up first to be able to use a sword that requires two hands. Have you had much physical training?

Re: [Video]

[foolish_seal]

[Two hands? Not his preferred method, but he'll go with it.]

Yeah, I have.

[Audio]

[strategic_guile]

Training in the art of the sword from a Champion of Justice? [His voice sounds interested, yet there's a hint of a smile.]

And a western style I might be able to manage. [Yeah, he listened to parts of the previous conversations.] What do you consider appropriate dress?

[Audio]

[ex_cashcow493]

Something thick enough that in case of an accident, there is no immediate death. You never know when training others what might happen.

[ That's to say she can't promise her pupil's accuracy. ] Unless you wish to just spar with me?

[video]

[futurarex]

Your apprentice.

[very skeptical of this, as she doesn't look as if she could wield very much at all. it's not that he's skeptical of girls bearing arms in general, it's just that this one doesn't look too able, for all her talk.]

[video]

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, my apprentice.

[ Shirou has been demoted from boyfriend to manservant to apprentice. He's going backwards at this rate... ]

Is it all that surprising that someone has one in this land?

[ima_something]

... I don't need the practise so much, but I would like a sparring partner all the same?

[Usually she didn't need too, because being Death didn't involve much of the way of fighting really, and neither did being a governess. Mr and Mrs Gaiter weren't interested in having their children wield swords, like good parents and all the rest, even if the children disagreed and thought it would probably be a lot of fun.

But here? Here was different. It honestly couldn't hurt.] If you'd be interested that is.

[ex_cashcow493]

It would be my honor.

[ To help spar against another lady? Definitely so. At least Saber believes her to be judging by the sound of her voice. ]

Have you any specific day set aside?

[emptysword]

...Apprentice.

[.............he's just stating the word right now as he just.

stared.]

[ex_cashcow493]

That means you, Shirou.

[ Because he seems as though he's not getting it. So she'll be a kind Servant and explain it to him. ]
