I can assure you I have no knowledge of such a bizarre occurrence.
[honestly!! she'd ask him if he had a bad dream but-- servants don't dream.
then again they are human again, or so it would seem.]
Furthermore, Archer, I am... surprised to see you here.
[her expression softens a bit, she didn't think she'd ever have the chance to see him again. there is much she wants to say and yet... she can't seem to find the words for any of it. which is probably just as well, having a heart to heart in the men's room after hurling her brains out isn't exactly the ideal setting for having a kodak moment.]
[her face mirrors his slight confusion, eyes narrowing as her nose begins to wrinkle.]
These events you're referring to, are they affairs that have taken place during your role as Counter Guardian? Following the fifth Holy Grail War?
[seeing as how she has no clue what he's referring to when he mentions the shadow or something as memorable as him losing an arm. more over- why would he expect her to have any knowledge of that?]
Why is it you speak as though you expect me to give recognition of an incident I was not present for?
[ The cool expression threatens to slide off his face. ]
You know what I am.
[ He feels half as sick as she was, for a second, as another thought occurs to him: if she knows what he is, then what if she knows the who of it as well? ]
Do you not recall the events of the fifth war leading up to your demise?
[maybe she shouldn't word things so bluntly, if he has not, in fact, reached his demise? but she hasn't really considered the possibility of alternate realities quite yet either. though, she's getting there.]
[ Your demise? Did he succeed in his plan, in the reality she speaks of? No, that's impossible--it was never truly meant to succeed, and besides, if he really managed to wipe out Shirou Emiya's existence, he'd hoped it would reverberate across realities and erase him entirely. Not only affect one timeline.
He blinks once and dismisses that line of thinking to voice his suspicions: ]
It's as I thought; the Second Magic is at work here.

Saber...?
[ Quickly, he attempts to shake it off. ]
Well, naturally you are--I'd just received mortal injury from the shadow, after all, and given up my arm to boot. But here I am, whole and human.
[ But there's a curious testing quality to his words--he's no longer certain any of that happened in her memories. ]

[more confusion. on both ends.]
