"I have never seen a lion this close before," Saber replied. "In my world, lions do not speak as men do. You are far more than them."

Saber's hand reached out but stopped just short of her fingertips brushing the mane. She then looked down at her hand and looked at it, like it betrayed her. Hand dropping quickly to her side, she hid it behind her back, color flushing her cheeks again.

"My apologies, I am--" Saber paused. "I am Arturia."

She frowned a little. Saber. She should have said Saber.
