Grail Dialogue

The three-way confrontation between Saber, Gil, and Alexander in volume 2. A serious discussion under the guise of a drinking party. Well, it might not have looked that way to bystanders, but the three of them were all definitely being serious in their own way.
I’d actually been planning this scene ever since the very first draft proposal, trying to think of the best way to handle it. After all, if I’d just had them all duke it out with their ridiculously destructive Noble Phantasms, they’d kill each other long before they ever reached an understanding through battle.
…But now that I think about it, it just ended up turning into a social mixer to kick off Gil and Saber’s relationship, didn’t it?

§

A dialogue among Saber, Archer, and Rider regarding who is the most fitting King and therefore most fitting recipient of the Holy Grail. Saber’s concept of kingship is shot down, and having seen Rider’s noble phantasm, she is unable to make a comeback. However, this triggers Archer’s interest in Saber. As an aside, the three kings’ ideals are of equal value, none of them stand above the rest.
