[ Almost immediately, Magilou waves a hand in front of her face, as if to dismiss both Saber's worries and her own memories. Breaking through the fog of the past isn't always so literal, but the motion is sharp and quick enough to be like the blade of a knife. ]
Doesn't bother me. You didn't even have to sleep if you didn't want to, but it's no skin off my back.
[ It actually has helped, even in some small way. The lingering emotions from Magillanica that she kept buried would burst someday. If anything, it's better that it was in Chroma, away from Melchior himself. She can sort out how she feels and then return to give him a piece of her mind later. ]
In fact, it's given me some great ideas of what to say to that old man when I see him again. You have to warm up your words if you wanted to have any hope of breaking through a frozen heart like his.
[ Oh. Saber brightens and relaxes, her shoulders lowering visibly. Magilou's reply is easy enough that it seems sincere, more than a polite platitude as might come from other people. ]
Thank goodness.
[ She didn't completely fail at helping someone else navigate the matters of their heart... Is this a first? Very possibly. All the better that it was for Magilou; she doesn't deserve to have her heart mishandled any more than it already has been. ]
Ah, if it is a verbal showdown you are preparing for, I would be happy to coach you on your technique. Of course, you already have a strong foundation, but there is always room for improvement.
[ Let her help!! She never thought a decade of smack talking other kings might one day become a relatable life skill... ]
