À bien dire, ce qu'il y a de meilleur ♔ dans l'homme, c'est le chien.

[Tamaki looks a bit lost currently. Or more accurately, he looks like he has lost something. He turns around in a circle around himself, looking around the Plane, then looks back at the brochure he's holding, before looking back up again.]

Antoinette?

[he looks down at the brochure again, before folding it back up and putting it inside his jacket pocket.]

Antoinette! This is no time for hide and seek. [quietly under his breath, as he looks at his watch] You won that an hour ago. [he sighs and begins walking the Plane again on an epic quest to find his dog.] Antoinette! Come out wherever you are!

[Cutting right to the chase, per her no-nonsense demeanour]

Where did you last see this person?

A kind and austere princess come to assist my Antoinette in her time of need. I last saw her by the Coliseum, but I think there may have been a small misunderstanding. We are searching for a dog, not a person. Her intelligence could almost deceive some, though, so I understand the confusion.

[The blank, uncomprehending stare his flowery compliments earns might remind him of someone he knows]

My apologies, but you are mistaken, sir. I am a knight, rather than a princess.

[A pause]

I...see. It is my understanding that dogs eventually return to their masters, given enough time.

[it's uncanny. He is flustered by the stare because he knows it well enough. He doesn't have time to recover though, as Tamaki is dumbstruck by this assertion. Logic fails to compute this for him.] ...but you're a girl.

This is true, but I'd prefer to speed up the process, Prin- what would you be called if not Princess? The only way I know to address knights is Sir.

[Not even a change of expression at all, and her tone is so matter-of-fact that she might as well have been reading from a textbook]

I was disguised as a man.

I am called Saber. That is the form of address that I am known by.

[gasp]

Just like my Haruhi! You two will have to meet! You'll have so much in common!

[so no-nonsense and straightforward. Tamaki is taken by surprise, but then nods very firmly and seriously] Saber it is! How suiting, such a powerful name fits a powerful figure like yourself, Prin- ah, I mean Saber.

It is merely a necessity.

[And right on down to business]

I do not object to assisting your search for your Antoinette.

Such a helpful and noble spirit, no wonder you are a knight. Your valor cannot be bound by mere gender! Ah, but yes, let's go, Pr - Saber!

[and he fights the instinct to offer her an arm, because he is well versed in the reaction he's likely to get from this type]

[Whether she was flattered or annoyed, her stoic mask remained the same. Still, it was a pleasant change from the insults she regularly endured.]

I thank you.

The Colosseum, you said?

Please don't thank me, I can only say what I feel in my heart.

Ah, but yes! Do you know the way? I would be happy to assist you in finding your way around the Plane while we find Antoinette.

[A faint ghost of a smile.]

That is good. Honesty is a virtue of those who follow the code of chivalry.

[And then her face returns to neutral]

I am afraid that I do not. I have only arrived not a fortnight ago, if I have retained a proper sense of time.

I have been described as a white knight type character. I even have a suit of armour from one of our cosplay events!

[and at her neutrality he smiles broadly]

Then you must let me show you around! Someone even put together a guide to this place. [he pulls out one of the brochures Brax made and hands it to Saber] It's very helpful.

[That earned a slight raise of her eyebrows. Armour may not have been especially uncommon in her era, but even modern forms of armour were a rarity nowadays. But she has no idea about the dangerous territory she's treading into with her curiosity.]

...Cosplay?

[She looks over the brochure]

I see. I thank you...a tour would be most helpful.

You don't know the wonders of cosplay!? You poor unfortunate soul. If only Renge-kun were here. She's far better equipped to tell you about the joy of pretending to be another person with just a change of costume. I could become a knight or an Arabian prince or a legendary samurai or a Greek god with just the change of an outfit. I'm hoping to host some cosplay events here eventually, so you'll get a chance to see cosplay in action soon, I hope.

But yes, a tour would probably be a good way to find Antoinette too, I imagine. What sites have you all ready seen so far?

[The concept is so alien to her that she can't quite grasp it, but that confusion is hidden behind the stoic mask...though that itself might give away her confusion. Must be one of these odd modern customs.]

I have seen the kitchen, but I fear that the other locations are ones I have yet to find.

It's okay if you're unfamiliar with the concept. After all, life is about trying new things. I'll be sure to introduce you to cosplay the next time we meet, Prin - I mean, Saber.

Hmmm...then we'll end our searching at the kitchen. We can start with the movie theater. Perhaps she went looking for me there.

[and he leads them in the direction of the movie theater]

Very well, then.

[A closed fist lifts to her chin as she ponders]

This plane is quite strange, that it would have such things as these.
