cœur de lion.

saber (richard the lionheart) | fate/strange fake

very excitable, very passionate knight type

summoned to the Fake and True Holy Grail Wars in Snowfield, Nevada. gee, how come the united states government let you have two hgws

VERY into legend of king arthur and the knights of the round table, alongside any great figure from before the 1100s (alexander the great, charlemagne, etc)

impulsive and brash as hell, running into most things with little regret. will cause problems on accident, on purpose

loves music, theatre, and the arts. watched Sister Act within the first day of being summoned.

loves fighting strong opponents. please fight him.

please don't worry about the war crimes. he's not proud of them, please understand.

PLEASE let him ramble to you about king arthur nonstop (please don't).

"what about the fgo stuff" what about it.

Generally, Richard's head tends to be on a constant swivel looking for anyone he knows from the Grail War that may have inadvertently gotten pulled in without his realization. He knows it's probably a losing game in the long run, but he'd rather keep trekking down that futile road than leave Ayaka or anyone else stranded for any longer than humanly possible.

So, the idea of anyone else recognizable appearing doesn't even cross his mind as he happens see Saber across the way, seemingly going on his way when –

...

...

Hang on a second.

He's immediately rooted in place as realization dawns on him, fully incapable of hiding a shocked expression on his face. There's no way he'd forget what the King of Knights looks like, for as long as he was alive, and for her to be here is...

The Uplift certainly has a market on incredible views, which is easily makes this the better of two markets, hands down. The constant threat of slipping and falling to one's untimely demise is just a charm point. Surely.

Coming from the mostly arid climate of Snowfield (a misnomer if there ever was one), it's a wonder to actually see snow for a change. It's not hard to get immediately wrapped into the spirit of the season, as Richard spends time wandering around the Cotes Ward with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

The pixies and frost fairies in particular are particularly interesting, as the Saber converses with them, seemingly about what they're currently peddling and the games they're offering. He knows better than to simply take them at their word, of course, but he can't help but be a little bit curious.

Noticing someone come up, he picks his head up, smiling brightly in greeting.

For some time, Richard finds himself wandering up and down the hallways of the Tempus Museum, seemingly drawn to it by its lavish and opulent façade. He's happy to aimlessly wander the halls, taking in each exhibit and art piece as he progresses with no true goal in mind to reach.

Which makes it a little confusing where, inexplicably, he ends up turning into the lobby. The first two times were simply written off as pure coincidences, but after making a conscious effort to at least try going in different directions, but always ending up at the same entrance.
