Hm. You remind me to [some of my knights when they shared their tales of valor in a loud, boasting manner.] some of my old companions. Were you a knight in your homeland?
A Knight? HA! All that armour would only slow me down! Nay, my lady, I am a Swordmaster, a swift specialist in the blade! A master of evasion! A champion of the critical strike!
What about you? A Lord? --No, wait, I'm gonna guess Paladin.
"Swordmaster". I have never heard of such title. Is it a common one where you hail from? [She will not reveal her name, though she can say this.] I am Saber, I thought that would be obvious. The "Knight of the Sword."
Yeah, pretty common. It's a level up from Myrmidon, granted to those who have truly mastered the art of the blade! Chon'sin is famed far and wide for skilled Swordmasters, but you can find them in pretty much any army.
...Yeah, but Saber's your name, not--never mind. So you are a Knight? 'Cause they usually use lances where I'm from... You must be pretty strong then, huh?
I see. Do you have an individual title you prefer to be known as if this one is shared by many?
It is how I am addressed. [Does 'Saber' sound like a real name?] Yes I am a knight. I am able to wield a spear decently as well. Though, I am Saber and not Lancer at the moment.
Well, if you care so much about proper titles, it's Prince of Ylisse, nephew of the Exalt. I'm also the Legendary Scion of Heroes, the Chosen Warrior of Light, and the Avenging Avenger of Justice, among other things. But just 'Owain' works too.
['Saber' is no weirder than any other name where he's from, really.] Okay, gotcha. So do you like swords better than spears? Ooh, what's your favourite weapon you've ever wielded?
I had not known you were royalty, Owain. [He has fully introduced himself, so she should be obliged to do the same if he asks. "Avenging Avenger of Justice" sounds like a mouthful to say.] Titles sometimes describe well those they were given to.
You probably never heard of it. [So she can speak of it without betraying Rin or Shirou.] It was a holy sword called Caliburn that I lost long ago.
