It was less than a scratch. It was an itch, one that I would like to get rid off as soon as possible. [ It sounds condescending, perhaps, but to Karna, it was a mere truth. He was going to defeat the Lancer of Black, Vlad III. As soon as he gets back and gets out of this...place. ]

It was nice to meet you, Lady. [ He said, bowing slightly after a pause. Even if he wasn't nobility back when he was still alive--wasn't raised as one since his own mother ditched him shortly after Karna was born--and generally not well-disposed of of manners, this time Karna simply tried to be nice. Especially since Ashlynn obviously tried to help him out, even if it doesn't seem to be her duty. He appreciated that, even if it doesn't really show. ] I am Lancer, true name Karna. As I said, I am the son of the Sun God. I appreciate your help.

[ Karna merely blinks at that. ]

It is not that shocking to me. As Servants, we were summoned from the Throne of Heroes for the time being for a certain Holy Grail War, and when we are defeated, we are sent back to the Throne. When we are summoned again, we do not have the memory of our previous incarnations, if any. [ ... ] But I do not remember how I get here, yes. I must have crossed a gate during the battle.
