[As if there weren't enough problems...

Saga is in his training clothes, standing alone with crossed arms quite deep in thought... but also there's a hint of sorrow on his face.

'Why?... Why them?... My Goddess... They were so kind and free of fault...'That sweet woman and her old but kind father who owned the small grocery store

[Oliver approaches him hesitantly, not sure whether or not he should break into such an intense train of thought] Saga... You okay?

[saddenedsaint]

[Saga's eyes widen in surprise and turns fully to look at Oliver with concern. Man... where had you been?] Oliver.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver would argue that Saga is the one who looks like he needs concern right now] Yeah. Ah, how are things?

[saddenedsaint]

[Let's argue then |P] [He hesitates at first in telling Oliver or not, because he doesn't want to give him more worries. So his answer takes a short while.] There have been...trouble. In Rodorio.

[oliverplus]

[that's okay, Saga; Oliver is already worried] What sort of trouble?

[saddenedsaint]

[FAIL.] Disappearances... and villagers found dead. Maybe you've heard about them.

[oliverplus]

[he nods grimly; he was afraid it might be that] It sounds like it's happening in everyone's worlds...

[saddenedsaint]

Hm. [Before he continues with that topic...] I was... worried... for you. [asfghjkl]

[oliverplus]

[Oliver blinks, surprised] What? Why?

[saddenedsaint]

[Looks away. Emotions, what are?] It's been a while since I last saw you. I thought... you were having problems.

['Many things happened... Oliver.']

[oliverplus]

Oh! Ah, no. I'm all right. [he scratches his head, sheepish, giving his friend a smile. he knows Saga's right--Oliver has certainly been involved in some problems lately--but he's not about to admit the extent] It was just... [he hesitates, then sighs] Did you see what happened with the candy, Saga?

[saddenedsaint]

[Like... he knows you're hiding something from him., though he's not going to ask. Not if Oliver wants to tell him.

At the mention of the 'candy', his eyes widen in horror for a couple of seconds. There's a slight pain on his face.] Yes... I did.

[Silent for a moment.] ... I had a fight... with Morgana.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's expression is dismayed] You too?

Have you seen her? Is she all right now?

[saddenedsaint]

[Nods.] I didn't want to hurt her... and I... tried to make her see reason. In the end, I had to let her go. But Meredith's announcement...

[His face is also a dismayed one.] ... I don't know. I only wish for her safety and that she's okay.

Then... I will tell her what I should have long ago.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's eyes widen] I'm sure that's not what happened! You heard about the shop, too, right? Someone must have gone there for her.

[he did himself, but he couldn't find her afterwards. still, he doesn't think it'll help the situation to tell Saga that]

Saga... [Oliver reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder] Are you sure?

[saddenedsaint]

[Nods with resignation.] Yes. [And a sigh.] I just hope Arthur had success in giving her the antidote.

[He stares at the hand for a moment and places his own onto Oliver's.] She needs to know the truth. Even if what the dragon told me is true, I'll do anything to prevent it. Just as Arthur and Gwen will.

[A dismal smile.] If Morgana gets upset, I think I can handle it.
