Hey... I have a favor to ask. I need help from both of you.

Shinji is here. I know you two may not think very highly of him... but could you please keep an eye on him for me?

[doesnotgetit]

Yeah... I couldn't believe it either. [Judging by her tone of voice, this is certainly tearing Hakuno apart just a bit.]

I'm not asking you to befriend him or anything. I know he might get on your bad side sooner or later.... just. Make sure he doesn't get himself killed, okay?

[nohurryforglory]

[She lets out a sigh.] If that is what you wish, I will comply, Praetor.

[doesnotgetit]

... Thanks, Saber.

Everyone deserves a second chance, don't you think? Even if the tower isn't the best place for that, and even though being killed here is only temporary... it needs to be made the most of. I want to avoid seeing that screwed up for him for as long as possible.

[nohurryforglory]

It would be preferable if that noisy child learned to grow out of such irritating personality traits by being here. [Though considering his behavior during the Grail War that still might be asking a bit much....] I will do my best to ensure that does not happen, but you must be aware that something like that is more than likely inevitable here still.

[doesnotgetit]

[Her smile fades.]

I know. It's impossible to avoid the traps and experiments this tower sets up. [As she found out the hard way.] But I'd just like for that to be later rather than sooner for him.

[nohurryforglory]

As long as you understand. [She feels like she's missing something here... Her master was always concerned about her opponents' well-being, but something still feels. Off, in this instance. She can't put her finger on it though, so she leaves it be for now. Instead, her usual confidence surges back with a vengeance.] But rest assured, Praetor! Though such a downfall is inevitable here, that boy's time here will be as well protected as they come! I am sure he will be mistaking my protection for some silly notion such as luck or being blessed by the gods themselves.

[doesnotgetit]

Or he might just think he's so awesome that even opponents want to help him.

[Yep. She can easily hear Shinji saying things like that.]

Try not to yell at him too much if he starts egging you on with that, okay?

[nohurryforglory]

If he believes the person who aided in slaying him would care to help him, he has far more problems at hand than can ever be addressed. [Granted he is pretty much the walking definition of stupid, so she wouldn't be too surprised either...]

I will certainly try to, Praetor, but on that I can offer no promises.
