Ritsuka sighs. "Aunt Arturia, the Saber we met was you."

Arturia looks at him. She looks inside her teacup. She looks at each of the servants seated around the lounge, from Cu to EMIYA to Medea and even Herakles. She looks at Ritsuka again. "You lost me."

"Well, you see, it was another you. Not the you we know, but a you you never knew, you know? But it was still a very you-ish you, just not a completely you you."

Is that Saber Lily at the end there? She seems much more... energetic? Enthusiastic? Than what I usually see as Saber. Saber's dignified and shit unless lions are involved, right?

She's still young and (relatively) naive. It was before she was crushed by the expectations of kingship.

Arthuria is pretty relaxed, chill and enthusiastic about a lot of stuff when not in King/Servant mode.

Hollow is pretty good about showing this side of her alongside her more melancholic one.
 
So, when Saber Wars inevitably happened:

****

To Dear Medea

This is my gift to you. Please stop asking me to be your dressing doll.

With all love I can muster.

Artoria Pendragon.

****

Medea blinked at the letter, and then looking at the... Saber... lookalike... something in front of her, bound with gift ribbons and gag. She pull out the gag-

"-Kill all those Saberface bitches, I swore by my- mppppf-"

-And putting it on again. She considers for a moment. Then she decided.

Her smile was beautiful and terrifying.

****

"Hello, Auntie Medea."

"Hello, Li'l Artie. How are you and Big Sister going?"

"It was great! Me and Big Sis and Marie and Uncle Archer had some cakes and pies and- Who is she?"

Behind Medea, a thoroughly dressed up Assasin, posing in a rather cutesy manner, with face locked in some kind of... cute...pout or something.

"Heroine X? What are you doing here?"

"L-Lily, I-"

"She was volunteered to be my dressing-up- I mean, model for some of my newly sewed dress."

"N-No, I mean-"

Caster didn't even change her expression. Just gave her a glance.

"N-no, I mean, yes, I was volunteered. Definitely not put into here or geas-ed against my own will. Definitely loved being dressed up. Definitely will not murdering Sabers on the first chance I got. Helpmelilyyouaremyonlyhopepleaesepleaseplease."

"Oh, you poor thing."

"YES! Thank you-"

"Red doesn't suit you. Green does! Auntie Medea, the dress need more green! And maybe a smidgen of purple-"

"Oh, that's good idea!"

"Waitwhat-"

A) Nobody looks good in green and purple. Nobody.
B) I would say that red suits Saberfaces very well. Maybe not as well as blue, but they still look good in it.

Maniacal, murderous jesters was quite good with purple and a green accent. But I get your point.

"...."

"...."

"...This looks better in my mind."

"...*sigh* Sorry about-"

"No, not your fault. Things like these are learned skills, especially for us. This mostly because garment from my era wasn't as colourful and plentiful as today...."

"C-can I go now? *Sniff*"

"One more experiment, dear."

"Nooooooooooooooooo"

I confess, it seems quite the benefit for the Servant under the Tohsaka twins that they're contracted to them both, and thus have six command seal. Means that even when Ritsuka uses up all of his Kana can come in and boost the Servant some more.

Why'd you go with Kana as the name for Rin's daughter, incidentally? Ritsuka's the name for the canon protag of FGO, so no questions there, but Kana's a bit of a mystery.

Can't speak for Swordomatic, but I can think of one meta-based reason; re: Rin's Japanese voice actor.

It came about after some hypothetical discussion about how Shirou might, being a huge fucking nerd, try to name his children after Kanshou and Bakuya. And then Rin furiously vetoing. And then Shirou trying to get creative about it.

Shirou: "...Kansha and Bashou."

Rin: "That is retarded. No."

Shirou: "You are REALLY busting my balls here Rin."

Rin: "We are NOT naming our children after a pair of TRAGIC SWORDS FORGED FROM HUMAN SACRIFICE."

Saber: "...What if each of you named one of them?"

Rin: "I get a veto."

Shirou: "Then I should get one too!"

Saber: "That sounds fair."

—

*months later*

Shirou: "...Kana. For the girl."

Rin: "That's... actually not bad."

Shirou: "Yeah I nearly went with Baya or Kushou and you are right they sound retarded."

Rin: l'm glad you agree!"

Shirou: "Mmhm."

Rin: "..."

Shirou: "..."

Rin: "...Wait you're STILL naming them after your stupid fucking swords! I veto! VETO!"

Shirou: "Oh good heavens just look at the time."

Better than that one time Archer tricked rin into using twitter as her personal diary or her failling utterly at setting the clock of a blue ray player, with the instruction booklet right next to her.

I've heard of the blue ray incident, though I've never heard of the twitter one.

Fairly obscure, some FS/N characters got twitter accounts, and archer tricked rin into thinking Twitter was an online personal diary, from what tvtropes commented, the moment she realized it wasn't and her stuff was public she went nuclear.

Fate/stay night: Humans / Characters - TV Tropes
Hopeless with Tech: As a mage, she doesn't get technology at all. The sad thing is that she's actually better than most. Rin barely knows what a VCR is, let alone DVD or Blu-Ray. She hates technology with a passion since she can't understand it, although she is learning from Shirou. In the Type-Moon April's Fool's joke with various Nasuverse characters setting up their own Twitter accounts, Rin has Archer set up her account, and starts using that as her secret diary. Hilarity ensues.

"Wait, but I thought some Heroic Spirits were too young, or simply don't have the strength to have a true crystalisation of their legend?" Ritsuka asks, arms crossed.

"Eh, it's a trump card either way, fancy unique skill or some other crap. It's a game changer, it's a Noble Phantasm. Simple."

"...That's not how it--"

"Well, they never hit me anyways, but it's still ridiculous. Real men fight face to face!" Caster flexes an arm for emphasis. "Look at me! I'm a Caster, but I'm still all for fighting in melee!"

Swordomatic said:
And Saber stands tall, none the worse for wear - and still burning with the majesty of a dragon in all her glory. "So you bear that shield," she says contemptuously. "No matter. How many times can you weather death? Once? Twice?" She raises her sword again, Excalibur once more burning black with darkness. "Will my blade break your shield? Or will your shield hold back the darkness? Show me and die."

Caster
Swordomatic said:
He shakes his head. Caster puts his hands on Ritsuka and Kana's heads. They are cold and dead. "Summon me as Lancer next time, yeah?" He says softly, with a smile. "That asshole with the bow won't be so cocky the next time I see him if I have that…"

Swordomatic said:
"Do you think you'll ever see Saber again?" She asks, a wide grin on her face. "I mean, you and Kana seemed to know her from sometime before, and I want to know more about your relationship!" She cups her face, rocking from side to side like a lovesick teenager. "I mean, this mystery… It's so interesting! I need to know it gets resolved, Ritsuka!"

Ritsuka looks flatly at her, like she is for real.

"...Saber," Cu says blandly beside her, "Are you for real right now?"

Arturia gives him a dirty look, scoffing at his uncouthness. "Have you no sense of romanticism, Lancer? Even if it is unlikely they will meet again, I can dream!"

"...No, Aunt Arturia," Ritsuka says dryly, as dead as the dead sea, "I have never seen Saber since, and I doubt any of us will ever see her again."

Arturia wilts, even her stubborn reverse scale atop her head faltering. "I suppose we can't be so fortunate," the King of Knights sighs. She pumps her fists and energises herself. "Still, Ritsuka! I believe you will meet her again! Fate has a way with these things, you know?"

"...Yeah," Ritsuka nods, talking to the woman in question, "I'm sure it does."

"Indeed, Ritsuka! Indeed."

She nods happily to herself, picks up her tea, and takes a long drink from it. Arturia Pendragon remains blissfully unaware of how literally everyone in the same room is looking at her oddly, like they're waiting for the other boot to drop.

She lowers her cup, sighs in satisfaction, and holds it out. "Another, please." Arturia looks around and frowns. "Why are all of you looking at me like this? Is it because I'm a Saber as well?"

Ritsuka sighs. "Aunt Arturia, the Saber we met was you."

Arturia looks at him. She looks inside her teacup. She looks at each of the servants seated around the lounge, from Cu to EMIYA to Medea and even Herakles. She looks at Ritsuka again. "You lost me."
