Did you have a name before Arthur?

[arturiarex]

Arturia.

[ Well. It is a bit different. ]

this is my favorite icon

[notnerdenough]

That's not really different, huh...

Can I call you that? Or am I still supposed to call you King Arthur? I think you're still supposed to bow if you meet the Queen of England.

[ If not, he would just to be safe. ]

it's very good.

[arturiarex]

Saber will suffice.

[ It's what she goes by most often these days. ]

You need not bow to me. I do not require it.

his suspicious face just makes me laugh

[notnerdenough]

Saber? That's a different kind of sword than what you pulled from the stone, isn't it? How'd you get that nickname?

it's a good face.

[arturiarex]

It's a very long story. And potentially quite complicated.

[notnerdenough]

[ His laugh isn't to mock her. It's just... Luke has been way out of his depth the entire conversation. ]

That's pretty much everything about you, isn't it? But if you want to be called Saber, I can do that.

I don't think I've told you that my name is Luke yet. If I did... I don't meet King Arthur every day so that's a lot to sink in.

[arturiarex]

Well-met, Luke.

[ She nods. She's also... very small, compared to him, probably. ]

I understand that it's a bit shocking. I'm not quite used to it myself.

[notnerdenough]

[ She's considerably smaller; Luke isn't a musclehead, but he has the build that works both in a theatre and on a football field. ]

Really? If I became a king, I'd tell everybody. There'd be a big party just so I could make an announcement.

[ What would he do with it? Luke hasn't thought it through, but it's also never going to happen. ]

What does somebody who used to be a king do now?

[arturiarex]

Sometimes it's necessary to move without being recognized.

[ She muses over that for a moment. ]

These days? I try to discover a little life of my own now that the burden is lifted from my shoulders.

[notnerdenough]

Do you watch movies and stuff? Or travel? Maybe being a king would make you feel couped up, but if I popped into the future and had never heard of TV, I'd be pretty amazed.

[arturiarex]

I do occasionally watch entertainment... and I have traveled somewhat. I was granted knowledge of such things when I arrived in this era.

[notnerdenough]

So you just learned everything when you... popped into the future? How did you time travel?

[ More importantly, can he use it to learn everything he needs for class? ]

[arturiarex]

That is also complicated. Suffice to say I was summoned for the purpose of doing battle.

[notnerdenough]

[ Oh. So, King Arthur isn't actually retired. ]

You're in a battle? Like a war?

[arturiarex]

Yes. A Grail War. Waged by mages for the so-called holy grail...

[ It's... a lot. ]

[notnerdenough]

[ Yeah. This is above his head. Not in understanding; Luke isn't the best student, but he isn't a moron. But he's never spoken to a king or soldier before. ]

That sounds like a lot.

Do you drink?

[arturiarex]

At times. Why?

[ Is he inviting her out for one...? ]

[notnerdenough]

Shouldn't we? It sounds like you have a lot of stuff going on. They say a drink makes everything tomorrow's problem. I don't buy that, but it's still good to indulge sometimes.

[arturiarex]

I am fond of good food... I suppose a drink wouldn't hurt.

[notnerdenough]

We can go to a place that sells both. I'm actually really good at holding my drink so I won't get drunk. In college, when you're drinking, it's usually in a room with a lot of friends and cheap alcohol since most of us don't have high paying jobs yet.

[arturiarex]

I'm happy to accept.

[ She bows slightly. ]

I'll allow you to show me the way then.

[notnerdenough]

I'm not familiar with this place, but I bet we can find someplace that won't poison us.

[ Luke didn't realize this day would see him having a drink with King Arthur, the original, but why not go with the flow?

He leads the way to start their search. ]

What stuff do you drink?

[arturiarex]

[ She's also kinda short. Oop. ]

Ale. Wine. Occasionally harderiquor as well. So I'm happy to see what they have and partake of what's available.

[notnerdenough]

[ Luke's friend group consists of both men and women so he's capable of keeping his pace slower to accommodate smaller legs. ]

Cheap wine? I don't think bars usually keep the good stuff. Maybe they do? I don't usually go to bars to order it.

The hard liquor, it probably has that... Ah!

[]

Found one, Your Majesty.

[ The name isn't mocking; Luke just has a habit of talking to most people as if they hadn't just met. ]
