[ As the video clicks on, there's a sword. A very unique sword. Decorated and exquisite, it is not any sword, but Caliburn: Golden Sword of the Victorious.

This is the sword that Saber pulled from the stone under Merlin's guidance at the age of fourteen. This is the sword that says "Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is rightwise king born of England" in Fairy Letters. This is the sword that made Saber immortal and unable to be harmed. This is the sword that broke in Saber's hands in the one battle she bent the rules of morality. This is the sword that Saber treasured the most.

This is the sword that Saber, the King of Knights, currently is. A gentle humming begins as the sword glows slightly, hovering above the floor in an upright position. Saber's Link device is laying on the edge of her bed and facing the sword. With the sword humming its holy tune, text appears across the bottom of the feed. The device is translating somehow. ]

How disappointing. I was hoping to become Cybertronian if I were to also be affected. So I may learn more about you all, however..

I appear to have become Caliburn. [ The sword vibrates a bit oddly with a brighter golden glow; a sigh, perhaps? ] I, luckily, transformed in my room. I wanted to let anyone concerned know where I was in case I was needed. ..I'll be unable to help should my presence be required, but I am here to answer calls. Thank you.

[ Have no idea who this is? If you have spoken to Saber before, then her name is on your device or you will recognize her device's serial number. If not, well.. ]

Maybe I can get you some pillows. [Or a rock. He really has no idea how to help but he's determined t find a way.]

I rather make sure you don't starve or anything. And _{even if you don't} want to leave, I can still talk to you or keep you company. [Saber, NO :<]

dfjksadflf a rock.

[pendragon]

A trip to the Hub from the Police HQ would be quite a long trek for you. [ She's gently scolding him, but why bring it up in the first place? Want him to visit perhaps, Saber? ]

I have my bed. I believe I'll be quite comfortable. [ The hum of the sword becomes a bit more gentle. ] Thank you for your concern..

8D ey it could be comfortable for swords.

[raceme]

No, don't worry. I can ask someone here to give me a ride or I could ....ride Frank. [He's not so sure about that last part because Frank moves really fast. Too fast for him now that he's human.]I don't want to leave you alone while you are like that, _{it's the least I can} do for a good friend that did that for me before.

Are you sure? [He will stop insisting, really. He just wants to make sure she's not only saying this to not be a bother.]

[pendragon]

[ The sword stops humming for a moment and bounces once, as if thinking. You're supposed to work on this friend thing with Blurr, right, Saber? ] I definitely don't need it and wouldn't want to be a bother, but ah.. I'd be honored if you would consider visiting me when you have the chance.. [ Why is that so hard to say? The idea of taking up his time, when he's going through so much and is likely busy, bothers her immensely. Still, at least she said it. The sword seems to shimmer for a few moments. ]

[raceme]

[They shall work on that together, yes. Blurr smiles, not sure if she can see him, trying to be reassuring.] I will come over as soon as I find a ride then.

[It's okay Saber. He wouldn't have offered if he didn't really want to do it.]

[pendragon]

I will look forward to it, then. You should likely leave the Police HQ, just to have a break. [ Yes, that's definitely some concerned and soft scolding right there. ]

[raceme]

It won't take me much, I promise. [But mom....okay he has no excuse good enough to explain why he overworks so often.] You are..right. I will, don't worry. See you soon.

[And with that, Blurr cuts the transmission.]

[>Action, 30 minutes later. Blurr has a bag with him when he arrived and knocks at the door twice. Realizing that she can't probably open it right now he pushed it after a few seconds.]

Saber? Hi, It's me.

[pendragon]

[ There's a hum as Blurr comes into the room. The sword is moving back from the door, as if she had just been at the door. Well, she had been trying to figure out how to open it.

In order for Blurr to understand her, he'll have to pull out his device and point it to her and read what Saber says. For now, she hums a few more times in welcome and floats there.

Saber can see he has a bag. She can't help but be curious what's in it. The sword tilts forward once towards the bag and then straightens out as she waits patiently. ]

[raceme]

Oh! [He didn't knew you where so close.] Hello Saber.

[He will figure out quickly enough, in fact, he's remembering that she needed to be close to the communicator to write. Blurr pulls out the device from one of his pockets as he approaches her.]

I found something that I think you'll like. A few things actually. [He puts the bag down with a smile on his face and a few second later he pulls out a purple velvet cushion.]

I looked around the junkpile until I found it. I promise it's clean. I saw some human movies and they often put swords on cushions like this so I thought you would be comfortable in one.

[pendragon]

I see. [ Blurr will see the words on his device when he points it at her. She's humming idly while looking at the pillow. Truth be told, she was a bit dismayed at first that he thought of her as just a sword, but now that she was looking at it..

It did look quite comfortable, even though she had a bed right there. ]

Thank you. I hope you did not spend too long to find it. Can you put it on the bed, please?

[raceme]

[He wants her to be comfortable, really, it's not like Blurr was thinking about her as a simple object.]

Only a bit, buts it's okay. I _{brought you} something else. [Blurr leaves the pillow on top of the bed and then looks inside his back again. This time he pulls out a small silver box with four buttons.] It's a music player.

[pendragon]

Does it work..? What does it play? [ The text comes quickly onto his device as she hums and looks at the music box. She obviously, can't turn it on, but seems quite eager about this.

Saber always liked items such as music boxes. They were extremely elegant in a simple way. ]

[raceme]

Yes. I have all sort of human song in my datapad from when I was on earth, I used to hear the radio. Uhm there's all sort of music, really. The Beatles, the rollings tones, Madonna, Queen..I did not know queens could sing too.

[She could click on the play button with the tip of the blade?] You only have to press this button with the small triangle to make it play a song and the one with the square to stop it.

saber doesn't wanna wreck her gift!

[pendragon]

So.. a radio or stereo? [ Yes, Saber knew of those, but she had never really played with one in her time in the modern ages and the idea was still slightly foreign. ] I.. don't wish to mark it or wreck it. Would you put it on my dresser and I will experiment with it when I have hands again, perhaps?

[ Saber hovers there for a moment, her humming going quiet. After a while of silence, she hums a bit more quietly. ] That is a very thoughtful and practical gift, Blurr. Thank you.

Awwwwwwwwww poor girl

[raceme]

A stereo, e-xac-tly. I'm sure you won't ruin it. And even if something happens I would be able to repair it. [Still, he leaves the device where she wants.]

I'm glad you like it. I enjoy music as well, I used to listen to the radio every day and night while on patrols. I was often alone and I had to stay still if I was investigating in car mode.

[pendragon]

How are you adjusting to your form, Blurr? You look much more confident in it now than that first night. [ Saber, small talking? Say it isn't so. It is, though, even it's being angled towards something of a practical subject as his well-being. She cares, after all. ]

[raceme]

I talked to some others that are in my same situation. Specially Rung. Talking to him always helps, he's good at that. Not feeling my s... you-know-what...still bothers me, but I'm managing. I figured out that this is just a body, no who I really am.

How about you? Having the form of a sword seems even more difficult to deal with. [Little steps, Saber, little step. Socializing gets easier the more you try it.]

[pendragon]

I don't really feel much of anything, so there is very little to adjust to. I actually feel quite comfortable like this. This sword was of great importance to me, so maybe the familiarity carries over. [ The sword moves her tilt forward once, very reminiscent of a nod. ] I feel odd going out in such a state, however..

[raceme]

You can't fell? [That worries him a little, no lie.] Can I ask why was that sword so important for you or that's prying too much? I'll understand if you don' want to tell me. [He really won't, Blurr always wants to know more information but he respects the privacy of his friends.]

Someone might try to hold you. I don't want people to take advantage of you when you can't defend yourself. Icouldgooutwithyou..ah..I mean, if you wanted to go out.

[pendragon]

Since swords don't have much in the way of self-awareness, I do not feel much, no. I can sense your presence and seem to be able to see you somehow. And.. about this sword, I don't mind telling you. [ The sword bounces up and down once, and then glows brightly once as she feels slightly flustered by his offer of chivalry. ] Someone could grab me, that is true, but I would be able to swipe at them first. ..Feel free to have a seat, Blurr.

my broser crashed and I lost my reply, sorry for the delay :(

[raceme]

What if I touch you? Would you feel that?

[Not like he would do that without permission, but he's wondering about that. Blurr's eyebrows go up in surprise and then he smiles at the sword's antic. He sits on the bed, hoping she wont' mind. Blurr's all ears, Saber.]

no problem!

[pendragon]

I am not sure. No one has tried thus far. [ Of course, since Saber was in her room and did not leave, no one has attempted to touch her yet. ] This sword is called Caliburn. It was the sword I pulled from the stone that made me King of England. Several other attributes came with it that highly affected my life.

[ You wanted a long drawn out, awesome story, Blurr? Not going to happen with Saber. Poor guy will have to ask for exact details he wants since Saber is so humble and also very ignorant in the ways of entertaining someone. ]

Thanks sweetie ♥

[raceme]

That's good then. That would have been rude. [It's rude if you don't have the other permission to touch, at least in Blurr's opinion.]A stone? And who put it in there first? Hm..being king is a huge responsibility. Did you ever regret it?

[that's fine, Blurr will ask until she tells him to stop or if he feels like he's asking too much. He is curious about her but doesn't want to upset Saber.]

you have no idea how much these types of threads help me unstress. thank YOU. ♥

[pendragon]

I regret not being a better king, is all. [ The sword pauses her humming before continuing. ] Caliburn was certainly not human made. So no one is sure where the sword is forged, but it had always been linked to England and with such a certain destiny and importance.

I'm glad I can help. I love them too, no need to thank me ♥ /hugs

[raceme]

[Blurr smiles sadly at that and nods, not saying anything else. He understands the sentiment even if he was never in charge of a whole country.]

It really does sound like something special. Must be why the lambda thought it fit you. For how many years you ruled? You look young for a human no offense.
