Shirou awoke in the middle of the night to find Saber staring at him.

"Saber, why don't you get some sleep?" Shirou asked nervously.

"I could not sleep even if I wanted to," Saber said.

"Everybody needs sleep," Shirou said. "Why don't you try counting sheep?"

"Why would I ever do that?" Saber asked.

"When you ruled Brittania, you must have owned sheep," Shirou said. "Didn't you ever count them?"

"There was no need," Saber said. "When I ruled Brittania, I knew exactly how many sheep I owned: ALL of them."

An exasperated Shirou pulled his blanket over his head.
