[] "Well... I guess you do deserve that reward."
-[] kiss her back
Your mind was racing to comprehend what was happening. You could identify her taste on your lips as the two of you stared at one another. Your heart felt like it was going to burst out of your ribcage as you felt her warmth in the way she held you. You had to say something at least, right? You can't just stay quiet.
The cold morning air began to set in as you blinked, your eyes stinging as you noticed that you had tears. Ah, what the hell was this? You'll look lame now. Rider's face became one of panic before you held her shoulder with your right hand for support.
"Well... I guess you do deserve that reward," you chuckled as you wiped your tears, "Thanks for coming for me, Rider. You did a good job."
"I did? I-I did, didn't I? Of course! It's only right I'm rewarded for my work s-so don't cry!" Rider said as she met your gaze.
You smiled at her before drawing close. This time it was her turn to be surprised as you returned her previous kiss with your own. Compared to hers, it was more demure and restrained as you felt her warmth against your lips. It made you feel... Safe.
You couldn't help but smile before pulling back. Your ears felt hot as you held her face. Your Queen, your Servant, your Partner, you treasured her because in this world she was the only one you had. Ah this was gonna get super awkward later! You're overloading here!
But she had that dumb smile on her face. She was a promiscuous and lewd woman but she can still make these sorts of faces. Only you knew this side of her and you were grateful for that. You may be overstepping your bounds as a Master but you want to make her feel cherished the only way she would understand.
Though you two may fight, argue or just laugh and cry together, it can't be denied that you two had a bond.
"Brie? Brie are you okay?" Medb asked as you swayed on your feet.
"Rider... Thanks again," you murmured as you leaned on her chest.
She smelled so good... You felt like you were sinking into clouds.
"Brie! Brie wake up! Brie what's wrong?! Brie!" Medb cried out as your senses began to fade. You closed your eyes and... Never opened them again.

You woke up staring at a wooden ceiling. You felt like you've been sleeping for a long time. The pillow behind your head was so soft... You blinked once before turning your head to the side and found someone sitting on your bedside.
A silver haired man leaned over to see if you were awake. He leaned back with a look of surprise before smiling brightly.
"Saber?" You blinked as you stared at him.
"So you're finally awake! The others will be relieved," Saber said as he leaned back, "Are you well? Does anywhere hurt?"
"No. No, I'm fine," you managed to say as you looked down at your hands, "I feel like I've slept for awhile."
"It's only been a few hours. Though I must admit, it did feel longer than it did. It was great fortune that Lady Rider met with us. I must say that Lancer has had us delayed from providing much help," Saber murmured with a sad look. He shook his head and said, "Still, I'm glad you're okay. Perhaps Lady Rider would finally stop being so agitated."
Warmth
[] "Lancer? You fought Lancer? What do you know about them?"
[] "Right. Where am I? Where are we? This isn't your apartment that's for sure."
[] "Rider. Where's Rider? Is she all right? I just sort of blacked out back there..."
