[A]

[Everything going on in this house was just plain exhausting lately. She had a new daughter, still had a horrible husband...well, that was it, but it was enough to completely take away her strength. Nothing a nice cleansing walk couldn't fix. Too bad this snow was extra bad today...she'd be soaked through by the time she made it home.

But for now, she was just enjoying the deep snow...she even started skipping a little and letting herself relax. She did like playing in the snow as a child...even if she had grown to dislike it over time.

...but, she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going...]

[B]

[well, that wasn't such a good idea in the end. Now she was wet and cold and needed something warm. I guess it was time to take a trip to the store. Anything to keep her away from the house for a while.]

Hmm...now, should I get more tea...coffee? Or perhaps this 'hot chocolate'...?

[C] - locked to 450 Stone

[With her shopping done, she really didn't have a reason to stay away from the house. Especially in these wet clothes.

So after changing, she stood in the bathroom brushing her damp hair to make it easier to dry.]

It seems strangely quiet today...which is exceedingly wonderful...[talking to herself in the mirror]

Hoh? And what would that be, King of Heroes?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

My brother is present in this town now. He will be given unrestricted access to this house.

[fated_blade]

...wonderful...now there will be three of you. I would prefer not to meet him.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I will accept your stubborn insults if they are directed at myself but do not think you can disparage him.

[hi my name is Gil and I'm showing some sort of caring for once :V]

[fated_blade]

[She's never been scared of you, and she won't be now.]

Fine. I do not promise to like him, but I will not speak ill of him.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

[He lightens up after that.]

Good. I have already spoken of you to him and he will treat you appropriate to your station as a king. I will not accept open conflict between either of you.

[fated_blade]

I will not be controlled by you, King of Heroes. I will do as I please when I please with no regard to what you want.

[hmm...my hair is actually getting a bit too long...]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

And the King of Knights will know well enough that to fight an honorable man of the wilderness would be considered lowly! Controlling you is hardly a part of it.

[fated_blade]

And yet...

[leans in closer to the mirror to measure her bangs by eye]

Hm...I need some scissors.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Take a seat and I will handle that.

[fated_blade]

...I can trim my own hair, Gilgamesh...

[though, it would be easier for someone else to do it. Fine...]

As long as you swear not to ruin it, very well. [sitting down now.]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Your image is unforgettable to me. You shall be returned to what you were.

[check out my golden scissors

also, he is leaning up close. can you deal with it Saber?]

[fated_blade]

[Trying to get away could lead to a very bad hair cut so...she has to quietly bear it, but she is none too pleased.]

You have never seen me with my hair down...

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I have not but it is a beautiful sight to behold.

[He's frowning but in concentration as he slowly snips away at her bangs.]

[fated_blade]

[she's frowning too, but for different reasons]

I would have to be beautiful for that to be true. Which, incidentally enough, I am not.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You know my reasons for what I say so now it is your turn. Why do you deny yourself, Saber?

[still clipping]

[fated_blade]

Because I am not vain, nor am I naive enough to think I am in any way attractive as a woman. I have come to terms with it.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Truly? Or has the life you lived blinded you to it?

[fated_blade]

I do not appreciate being teased. I have the physique of a small boy, Gilgamesh. I hardly posses the qualities desirable in a woman.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Hmph!

[and conveniently blowing some hair away with that]

A woman, pure and unflagging in the face of mankind's truest enemy, time. All who see her become jealous and all who have not yearn for her.

[fated_blade]

Does that not mean you are jealous of me?

[Okay, she'll admit it...that was pretty romantic, but she isn't going to be fooled.]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I am not everyone else for I am the only person who has seen you and continued to yearn.

[fated_blade]

Then you are a fool; there is nothing worth yearning for.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I shall be sure to inform the next person I speak with that I am a fool.

[fated_blade]

[...that...was not what she expected to hear...

not at all.

So she'll just be staring.]

Wh-what did you say?
