Sakura opened the door and gasped. "Saber-chan! What HAPPENED?"
The petite Servant glanced up from beneath the tangle that resulted from her effort to carry her over-tall master draped over her back. "Rin said said something about 'spontaneous involuntary Reality Marble manifestation.' Which I take to mean she's not sure, either."
Sakura was already chivvying the blonde and her burden down the hall toward's Shirou's bedroom.
"The theater was completely wrecked," Saber continued as she sidled through the doorway. "No one was hurt, but Rin admitted she may need your help covering things."
"She did?" Sakura blurted, wide-eyed.
"Not in so many words, but I've become skilled in translating her subtext." The blonde grinned a bit wryly.
Sakura nodded firmly. "I'll head right over. If you can watch Shirou?"
Saber put on her "pretending to be insulted" expression.
"...of course. But, before I go... what set Senpai off?"
The Servant glared down at her somnolent Master with an expression that managed to combine affection, exasperation, and resignation. "It was the trailers. Specifically, the trailer for that new flying-armor hero, um...."
"Iron Man?"
"Yes, that one. Everything was fine until the villain announced: 'Heroes: there are no such thing.'"
"Oh... dear."
"Swords EVERYWHERE," Saber affirmed fervently.
