[Not even Gilgamesh dares to impose this time. Not necessarily because he respects her personal space any more than before, but because he's... well, he can't deny it. He's enchanted by her, utterly. Only a few could get away with trying to lead him at much of anything, but Saber definitely makes the list. An expert of the romantic waltz she most certainly is not, yet at the same time there's always such grace to her form. Such dignity, such poise, which serves to settle him, if only a little.
When Adra speaks, Gilgamesh recognizes that he should listen. Caught in a daring twirl and dipped into near breathlessness, he considers the beautiful face above him, and the beautiful face beside him. All three of them Kings, all three of them with stories to tell. And hadn't it been Saber who wanted and was willing to hear the rest? Hadn't it been Adra, who was trying even now to reach him?
I know very well who you are; I know who I am. Do not fret, Gilgamesh.
I, too, won't forget.
I can come to understand you, if you would allow me—]
I won't.
[The very last picture on the mural depicted the harpy bowing its head to the dragon. And so...]
The most precious things in this world are also impossible to obtain.
[Gilgamesh bows his head to Saber, and the door opens at last.]
