they are getting increasingly pleased. they are so easy to distract with a good time. ]
but they will go to skate off the rink. they do not take the skates off, but will just go to skate towards the door. icly this would be a funny moment to be when everyone else just starts walking in. ]
they can regroup after they are free so now they are full of the knowledge of gossip that they did not have previously. the regrouping is not on purpose it is just outside after yves makes out with claude i guess (delusional)
[ wondering if they should choose to pretend they didn't hear that or acknowledge... hm... ah, well. ]
I do not expect you to forget that. Striking against someone that you call a companion carries a lot of weight, and I have no inclination to erase that. You could retaliate against me right now and it would be well within your rights and more.
[ ... ]
I have simply gotten tired of this place telling me that I cannot hold onto anything. So, I will hold onto you. But you're free to let go!
[ they just needed to make an attempt, instead of awkwardly fluttering around him whenever they're in the same room together. ]
[ Okay, well. That is so incredibly sweet that Claude doesn't really know what to do. He's never had someone that wanted to hold on to him, even after being victim to his pettiness and arrogance. Most of the people around him, are waiting for one wrong move. One chance to prove that their instinct to not trust him is right.
He hasn't even done anything for Saber. At least at home he had his intellect, and the battles that he won. Why would Saber put up with him, even knowing that, really, they're in the right for acting against a murderer? ]
Saber.
[ STRUGGLING TO COMPOSE HIS THOUGHTS ]
... I'm sorry. For making you endure striking down a friend again.
[ That doesn't really address what Saber said to him, but he's still processing. ]
[ sometimes, you just keep losing and losing people, until eventually you are ready to make any desperate attempt to finally get something to work.
and, well. that does not address what saber said, but the sentiment still hit nonetheless. saber has been truthful that they are fine with having to do things like that because it is what they are used to. would they still prefer not to? yes. absolutely yes. but they will still do it without complaint. ]
... I'd rather it be me than someone else. [ ... ] Friend, hm?
We were friends when you decided to attack me, weren't we?
[ Don't get too cocky.
But- he doesn't know. It's weird. It's not like he thought Saber was necessarily wrong, or that they derived any joy out of helping kill him. It was really a petulant sense of... you don't care about me. Which is childish, but isn't that what the feeling of betrayal really is?
Saber though... despite that, and his behaviour, still wants to be here. ]
And we still can be, since it seems like that's what you want.

Claude...

What is it?

May I speak with you for a moment?

Wha is this going to be about then? ]
Sure.

I don't want to keep you from your friends.

this is so hard when they're trying to be thoughtful. should they just stop being thoughtful? maybe they should have no thoughts. ]
I...

[ OKAY. ]

Is that something you can decide on your own?
no subject
[ they are making this up as they go. ]
But I need to be upfront about my intentions.
no subject
[ What is going on. ]
no subject
My intentions.
no subject
Saber.
Are you saying... you won't let me go?
no subject
Again, I will not bother you if you really do not want me to. I do not lack common sense and can accept when I am not welcomed.
[ but claude's thoughts at least gives the impression that even if he's holding a grudge he does not hate them as much as saber thought he did. so. ]
But I wanted to at least... try...
[ mumbles ]
no subject
I really don't have a forgiving personality, you know. [ He's so petty. ] But... I'm also not used to having friends like this.
I can't help that I find you enjoyable to be around.
[ But I can't help but remember what happened, either. ]
