Night of the Fireflies!
It is late at night after you have gained your wings, and the tree is surprisingly dark. All the fireflies have gathered outside, flying around the tree in a display of glittering stars. It is almost as if they little critters are dancing with joy to see the new friends joining the Tree.
On the first floor's branch, the glow worms have settled, illuminating the whole bark like a shining band of Christmas lights - and they, too, are reveling in the joy of new adventurers.
Explore how your new gem works, try put your leaf clothes and join the critters in their dance - or simply watch them imitate the starts in the sky. It's a nice night to meet new friends. Just bring a squirrel fur or two, it's still cold outside.
[ She's both pleased and wary now. To see another Saber means she's among those who are, even if only a little, closer to her radiant magnificence than the common classes, and that she needn't feel too bored by superiority. On the other hand, if the other woman is truly a Saber, it's best to keep a wary eye on her. Of course, if Gawain was so frustratingly forthright in his lack of underhandedness, surely this knight must be as well. ]
Then we've reached another crossroads of intrigue. [ She holds a hand to her breast, standing proudly. Of course, there's not much she does that can't be described with "proudly." ] Only one class is of any import, and that is mine. There is no other class worthy of me than Saber.
[Saber is only forthright when her fellow Servants disclose their identities to her, she must return the courtesy lest she will break her code of honor, otherwise, she knows she has to keep certain expected level of discretion, for her victory and her Master’s sake. Even if this is not a Grail War, she has not grown comfortable to be open about her identity, even if the two other Servants in the Tree knew who she was. ]
You too have been summoned as Saber Class.
[ She signs inwardly, even if her expression is calm and unflappable. This will be troublesome, she knows two men who share a name and a face; the Links, so the Tree dwellers are at least used to strange doppelgänger problem. She quickly gives a shallow bow, acknowledging her introduction to not forget her manners. ] Well met then, Saber of…Moon Cell, you said? [ She folds a hand at her chest. The Grail Wars they fought in surely distinguishes them. ] I am Saber from Fuyuki, then.
Fuyuki, hm? The location of old. Not quite archaic, but... [ Already bored with the pleasantries, Saber turns extravagantly on her heel and gestures broadly to their surroundings. After so sweeping a gesture, her hands return to her hips, and she grins. ] Well! Should "Saber of Moon Cell" tax your tongue too much, you may keep it simple and refer to me as Red Saber. Naturally, that would make you Blue Saber.
So, must we live in quaint little acorn homes, or does luxury exist even here?
[ A location of old? Hm. What does she mean with that? Her expression turns quizzical when Nero speaks those cryptic words. Does she come from the future? Servants can be summoned at any point of times, after all.
Her eyebrows furrow and she places her hands on her hips. Blue and Red Saber? ]
That sounds ridiculous. [ Color-coded Sabers? Even if it is probably what others would use to difference them more easily; it is that or the clear contrast of their developments. ] Though I suppose it works. I do not object it…
[ She grits her teeth to assent. She hopes they will not mistake her for an exuberant exhibitionist at least. ]

Hm. We do not even have fire to heat our meals.
