Walking alongside Saber without the fear of Excalibur... maybe that's what strikes him as the strangest. It seemed such an integral part of her, that one could not exist without the other. Now she has her beloved prize in her hands, and it's amounted to less than nothing. Water and a few paltry barriers, big deal. That must sting her pride, he thinks.
