5th Spell: [Video/Action for Breeding Centre]

[dressofheaven]

[It's late at night. The lights are dim, and Ilya is nestled up against her loyal Houndoom. Cerberus is curled around her, head in her lap, and she absently scratches the dog's ears as she stares into the gear for a few moments silently. She opens her mouth, closes it again, frowns in thought, and then finally opens it again, though she's speaking pretty softly.]

So... did anyone do anything for Mother's Day today? Even if your mother isn't here?

... Actually, especially then.

[She stares at the gear with a blank expression for a few moments, then sighs and turns it off. The particularly observant might notice a little bit of wetness in her right eye as she does so.]

[ Guess that Pokemon.

It's Spheal! ]

Your mother started with one of these. I was only able to locate them in the Seafoam Islands. You may have it if you like. If not, I will care for it properly in hopes I can use it to locate the others.

[She peers at the little smiling ball curiously, extending a finger to poke it after a moment. The Spheal giggles and bounces into her arms, causing her to gasp in surprise, though she catches it just fine.]

... Mama liked this one, then? [She pauses a little, looking it over. The cutesiness isn't her usual type, but if her mother liked it...] What did she call hers?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Saber. Lancer. ]

Ah, do not tell me you intend to name your own after... [ Laughing nervously. ]

[dressofheaven]

[Well that gets an eyebrow raise out of her.]

I was thinking about it. Why?

[ex_cashcow493]

'tis embarrassing to admit. [ She mutters under her breath. ]

[dressofheaven]

[Aaaaand that gets a wicked grin.]

You know that's just going to make me more curious.

[ex_cashcow493]

She named her own after me and another after my rival in the Fourth Holy Grail War. [ Saber can't say no to prying children, much less ladies. ] That is why it would be embarrassing.

[dressofheaven]

She... she named it after you?

[She pauses for a few seconds...

Then starts giggling.]

[ex_cashcow493]

How is that...

[ No, maybe she shouldn't chide the girl for laughing. It is probably the first bout of cheer she's had all weekend. ]

Yes, after myself.

[dressofheaven]

I guess I can't use the same name, then. Sorry, Saber, but Berserker's the only Servant for me.

[She looks down at the Spheal for a few moments, considering her options.]

Alright. I'll call you Iris.
