[Somewhere between Cherrygrove and Violet, there is a tree.]
[In this tree is a flock of Murkrow--which the Venomoth holding the Pokegear seems to be focusing on before moving back to her trainer. And standing nearby? Lancer, with an unusually serious expression on his face as he stared at the birds in silence.]
['I guard your death.' That was what she had said to him. And it had been true, of course--the Morrígan was more often than not a herald of the end for many warriors of Ireland. Even the greatest one of his era had been no exception.]
[And now, staring at this flock of what must have passed for crows--messengers of the goddess herself--Ulster's hound felt strangely uneasy. When he finally did speak, it was in a serious tone. His words may have sounded like mere superstition, but there was a strange weight to them that made it sound like something much more than that.]
...I've always known ravens as an ill omen. I wonder if the same holds true in Johto.
[Lancer couldn't quite help but wonder: was this a warning that he going to die again? Not that he feared the idea, but he had more important things to do than add a third death to his list.]

[ who in their right mind would teach this term to Saber... ]
[video]
She predicted my own death, and even the best of knights knew to clear the hell out of a battlefield once the fighting was over just in case she showed up.
My point is that if ravens in any world have started following me around, I can't imagine things are going to end well.
[video]
[ What if Gilgamesh heard..... ]
Regardless, what use would a goddess of warfare have for you now? You do not fight no more.
[video]
[Sheesh, Saber. Obviously.]
Even if she's not responsible--and I doubt that she is--a flock of ravens following me is still enough to be worth some concern.
[video]
Maybe they are attracted to one of your Pokémon. [ Spoken with that accent. She's never going to get the hang of that word. ]
[video]
[This did not stop being a thing that happened.]
Anonymity isn't really much of a concern for me anymore.
[video]
[ Chuckling quietly. ]
Is that the consensus of the other Ser-- you know, I think I am well versed in how Gilgamesh acts regarding his identity. [ Twitching.. ]
[video]
Rider never really mentioned hers, but frankly I don't think what name any of us go by here is going to matter. No Holy Grail War, no Noble Phantasms--so what's the point, right?
[video]
... It would be odd for me to go by my name.
[video]
So go by whatever you want. People here still call me Lancer regardless of whether or not they know who I am.
[video]
[ Flustered, she looks away. What is being tired as a human and being susceptible to relaxing conversation? ]
[video]
...hm? What does being a girl have to do with anything?
[video]
With a tiny yawn, she shifts the Pokégear to a more comfortable position. ]
In my time, women were not permitted to do much of anything.
[video]
[Just...this face.] So what? I learned all I know about combat from a woman, and my wife was one of the toughest girls in the country. If a woman can be on the level of a goddess, I fail to see why one can't be a knight.
[video]
.. Really? All you know from a woman?
[video]
More or less, yeah. Maybe not everything, but if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have my Noble Phantasm.
[video]
[ Giving a nod. ]
So she is the one who gifted you with such a powerful item. I suppose since you told me something like that, I could share a story about mine. If you wanted to hear it, that is.
[video]
My history with Scathach isn't exactly anything all that secret, but if you insist then I'm listening.
[video]
My favorite blade was pulled from a stone. I was the only man capable of doing so.
[video]
...Really? How'd it get there in the first place?
[only you would ask something like that, Lancer...]
[video]
[ Oh... huh. She never really thought about it. ]
At the time, many other knights and men believed it to be the work of our Lord, who placed the great blade within the sword during a time of strife. However, I believe it was just Merlin's doing. He had a peculiar sense of wit about him.
[video]
[seriously merlin
who does that]
[video]
No, it really is not. It is the only word I can think of to associate with him however. If you ever met him, you might question how much you have consumed.
