where is richard this time? sabo's just going to be checking on people to see how they were after the horrors. well, the horrors then the promise of something good only to go back to the horrors...
honestly, the fact that people thought that something positive was going to come from that made sabo even more frustrated with the state of things. ]
[ He's in the garden, kind of near the villa side! Look, sometimes you need to stare at flowers or some shit. He's also out of his armor, for a change, decided to wear whatever clothes got left to all of them.
[ sometimes it be like that. who is sabo to judge richard for wanting to dissociate while looking at flowers or something like that? the last time he was here he was ripping plants out from their roots...... sweats.
he'll give a chuckle before responding. ]
Which answer would you like?
[ a lie? a truth? something between the two? ]
I'm frustrated about how things resolved themselves today, but I can't help but also be intrigued about what happened either.
[ wouldn't you like to know... i'll take the truth to my grave. ]
Ish being killed and the magic that was used to bring him back.
[ sabo places a hand on his hip. ]
It wasn't the first time that we've experienced that gold magic, and I don't understand enough about to know what is acceptable to assume and what isn't.
[ and here is sabo unsure if richard knows anything about magic since he keeps just going with the flow when it comes to the two of them. then again, he did not miss the trial talk about the servant and master stuff. :umm: ]
Unfortunately, it's hard to tell simply as it is. If it's related to this how this place operates, it'd be easy to assume it's related to something like a Noble Phantasm that he has, but...
[ He sighs. ] I'm sure Nimue would have some kind of better idea as to what this is. A shame none of them are here.
while, sure, richard (and ayaka) had plenty of talk about these sorts of things but there is a limit of what he can sweep under the bridge. mainly because he's curious about what this means in this context. ]
Noble Phantasm?
[ ??? do you think he knows what a nimue is? (probably bc of stuff and things but i'm not doing it for my own sanity. DOES A BASTARDIZED VERSION OF KING ARTHUR'S LEGACY LIVE WITHIN ONE PIECE!? i'm blind.) ]
I'm not familiar with that. I assume it's some sort of magic—specific to an individual.
[ sabo i'm sorry he just Says Shit and doesn't really care about whether someone understands it or not. so sabo can just :thisman: in peace while he just yaps to himself. ]
Correct. It's a special ability – or abilities – that are completely specific to an individual based on who they are. Specifically, it's only really applicable to Heroic Spirits. The Witch doesn't strike me as one, so it's only an approximation of what this magecraft could be.
Magecraft.... [ PEOPLE JUST LOVE THROWING WORDS LIKE THIS AROUND HIM. it's fine. fortunate for everyone that sabo's great about working through context clues. ] I'd be surprised if someone like him could be considered a "heroic spirit", however, I suppose he could be "heroic" to someone but I can't imagine it would be many people.
[ hmm. ]
...assuming that you have a noble phantasm of your own, can I know what it is?
I suppose the term's a bit of a misnomer – the only real quantifiable feature is that they've made enough of a mark in history, legend, or something else that they're able to potentially be summoned from the Throne. They don't necessarily have to be heroes, and certainly don't have to be just to be considered.
[ coughs. anyway, ]
I do. I can make anything I can hold into a copy of the holy sword Excalibur – even things not normally feasible in a fight.
[ The other one's kind of hard to explain, since they're not around right now, anyway, so... he's just gonna ignore that one. ]

Whatever you want to give.

Ish being able to be killed, you mean?
