[Caster, too, had taken the time to clean herself up - even forgoing the usual creepy witch cloak for the meeting. She'd been waiting beside the counter, checking over the stock for the fifth time that day. Just a way to distract herself before the other Servant arrived.]
[ saber's expression shifted from curiosity to a pleased smile at the sight of her friend. her mouth curls into a proud smile as she steps in, doing a bit of a spin while she closes the gap to the counter. ]
Pardon me for the wait! But am I not worth it? [ the boastfulness fades, smile becoming something more wan, even as she steps closer into caster's personal space. her voice smooths—becomes less boisterous, more a sort of teasing imperiousness. as if she's challenging her. ]
... Though as much as I enjoy our talks... [ her fingertips glide up caster's forearms, the ruby and white gold ring on her finger glinting, ] that is hardly why you invited me, is it? Shall we go downstairs?
[Why so cute Saber?? Her own expression shifted into a small, tired smile- one that would almost look ominous to those who didn't know her too well.]
But of course you are.
[Usually, Caster would be the one to initiate a step into one's personal space, and in this case, she eagerly accepted the 'challenge'- reaching to stroke Saber's cheek with a gloved hand. Her own ring was hidden beneath it.]
Yes...I see no reason why I should wait to lavish you with my affections, wouldn't you agree?
[The alcohol she'd been drinking certainly had her eager to get along with things. To have a little fun with Saber- and to forget her pain, for just a while.]
[ saber wasn't quite as tipsy as caster seemed, but... well, the liquid courage certainly helped ease things along. she leaned her cheek into that affectionate touch, face flushing a bit more as she let her eyes slip closed briefly. ]
Wholeheartedly. [ she purred, managing to keep some bravado. this wasn't like being with hakuno, where all of her vulnerabilities were exposed. she liked and cared for caster, in her way—caster was her friend, of course—but it wasn't even comparable. this was about companionship and pleasure, and nothing more than that.
but it was nothing less than that, either.
saber began to step past caster, towards the staircase. she glanced over her shoulder as she started down the steps, making one last teasing comment. ]
Do try not to keep your Emperor waiting, Princess?
[The taunt made Caster's cheeks flush- and wouldn't you know it, the redness soon started bleeding into the tips of her ears as well.]
What-! I- I was doing no such thing-!
[A small huff as she moved to follow her. She had no intention of letting Saber get the upper hand on her in such a way!
The downstairs was split into a few rooms- on one side, large earthenware vessels seemed to be buried in the ground. On the other side, next to a storage room, was a bedroom with a large double bed- freshly made for just this occasion.
Opening the door to her guest, she regained her composure enough to smirk, adding: ]
...You should know better than to taunt an evil witch such as I, you know~
