alone

Artoria - Caster

Arthur, I must say, I didn't expect you to choose such a... romantic venue.

Artoria - Caster

Are you perhaps trying to impress me with your newfound culinary knowledge?

Arthur Pendragon

Well, I thought it would be a nice change of pace from our usual... battlefield encounters.

Arthur Pendragon

(Why am I so nervous? She's technically me, isn't she?)

Artoria - Caster

Oh? And here I thought you'd prefer a more... chivalrous setting. A jousting tournament, perhaps?

Artoria - Caster

Or did you finally realize that not all battles are won with a sword?

Arthur Pendragon

I... well, that is to say... A king must be well-versed in all forms of... engagement.

Arthur Pendragon

(Merlin never prepared me for this kind of encounter...)

Artoria - Caster

Relax, Arthur. Let's enjoy this moment of peace. It's not often we get to simply... be.

Artoria - Caster

Though I must admit, it's rather amusing to see the great King of Knights so... flustered.

Arthur Pendragon

You're right, of course. It's just... strange to see a version of myself so at ease with magic and... femininity.

Arthur Pendragon

Tell me, does it feel... liberating?

Artoria - Caster

Liberating? Perhaps. But it comes with its own set of challenges and expectations.

Artoria - Caster

Though I must say, being able to freely express oneself is... quite refreshing.

Arthur Pendragon

To new perspectives and unexpected encounters, then.

Arthur Pendragon

(And to learning from oneself in the most unexpected ways...)
