I am doing my best to do so.

[ She seems quite serious about that. She's quite serious about a lot of things, honestly. ]

And I will not; I have... fortunately... been able to find a bond recently, which should help with their pull. It is perhaps more out of necessity than anything else, but they seem a reasonable sort.

[finesseblade]

[ He glances at her, and after a moment he inclines his head. Good enough for him. ]

Why else do we Bond, but for necessity?

[ His eyes are back out on the fields now, scanning for the best spot to lay their trap. Somewhere where the two of them can find a place to hide downwind of the forest, preferably. ]

None of us want someone digging around in our heads like that.

[arturiarex]

No. We don't.

[ Saber agrees quietly, eyes sweeping the fields and copses of trees that dot the landscape. The forest looms ahead of them, but they can't go too far. They need to make this work the first time. ]

Too many moments we would rather keep close to our hearts.

[ She sounds vaguely saddened. ]

Although I have heard some people with those they love or care for. I am not sure if that is wise.

[finesseblade]

[ There's a spot close by—a dip in the rolling hills, an overgrown thicket downwind to conceal them. They'll have the high ground, and an easy ambush come nightfall.

He's quiet for a moment, frowning, more to himself than at her. ]

It's... not easy, even with those you're close to.

[ He's speaking from experience. So much they've had to figure out between the two of them—none of it simple. ]

You learn things about each other you would rather have kept hidden.

[arturiarex]

[ Saber silently approves of the location they seem to have mutually drawn themselves toward. The conversation they're having is much heavier, however. ]

Agreed. And you learn things you might not have and perhaps didn't wish to. It makes you view them in a different light - and they, you.

[ She shakes her head and glances at him. ]

Baring one's self like that, even to someone you feel close to is a difficult task.

[finesseblade]

[ She's all too right, and Felix winces vaguely in recognition of that fact. In just a short time, he's learned far more than he ever feared to know about Sylvain... some things included that would've been easier to let lie, but now that they're out in the open...

He exhales quietly. ]

Be glad that yours isn't so close to you, then. Less likely either of you will accidentally see something you weren't meant to.

[ He juggles the jar of blood he holds into one hand, and passes off the hen to her. ]

Slit its throat, and bleed it out upon the ground. I'll do the same with this.

[ Come nightfall, they'll hunt, and hopefully by then this conversation will be but a distant, uncomfortable memory. ]
