[ Saber's brow knits. That doesn't sound like her at all...??? Mordred's imagination is much too wild. Between Tristan attacking the ground with his knees every time Saber exists in proximity to him and Mordred casting her as a villain from a child's play, Saber is beginning to question how the Knights of the Round Table ever functioned.
Any why was Mordred hoping she'd be angry? Such pointless antagonism... If Mordred wants praise (as she's plainly said in the past), she should attempt to do good things. But Saber knows better than to try to intellectualize anything Mordred says, so she just... doesn't question any of it aloud. Let the child live in her fantasy world. ]
... Yes... Carry on.
[ After a beat, she adds: ]
And if you decide to read any more books, I would not mind hearing reports on them as well.
[ What can she say? Her curiosity's been piqued. Will Mordred refuse to read more books now that Saber's praised her for it, or if will her hunger for more praise win out? Only time will tell... ]
