[ When it comes to bringing a knife to a gunfight, you'd best be damn good with your weapon to make a habit out of it, and better yet for the choice to be a calling card. Small wonder her defining characteristic became the tool she carries with her at all times regardless of where she is or what she's doing.
It's only slightly ironic considering her alias should really be "Longsword", but I digress...
As Sion's shield shimmers into existence, Saber doesn't dare to break visual contact with their attackers; two figures slink away into the crowd, likely either to re-position or to call for help. Perhaps both. The rest stay at a safe distance, patiently waiting.
Saber's voice practically cuts him off at the last syllable of his question. ]
They may have the exits covered. A roof access would be the safest method to get you out with minimal risk. [ A la the ancient "higher ground" advantage, anyway. He'd at least be able to get a good shot at making a bid for freedom.
