My Snippets, Incomplete Ideas, or Prototype Works

Artoria POV

The next morning arrived, and I remained still in a mediative state to recover from my wounds I was good on mana mostly thanks to William who had a lot more to give compared to Shirou.

The door slid open revealing an awake William "...ah your up early William," I greeted exiting from my meditative state.

"I always wake up at this time to do a bit of training," he replied walking towards the racket where the wooden swords were contained "would you perhaps like me to offer my assistance?" I offered.

He glanced back in my direction for a moment contemplating my offer "catch," he replied tossing a spare wooden sword.

Catching it midair I slid into my normal sword stance with relative ease "When you feel ready William you may strike," I said waiting to see what he would do.

A smirk settled on his face as he slid into a near identical stance with a single step, he went forward going for a strike my instincts kicked in as I blocked the attack and swiped his blade downward.

We moved around the dojo like a how one would do at a dance I could see William was adapting to my sword style, but I shouldn't be too surprised by this given his unique nature.

But then he did the most unexpected thing that caught me off a guard for just a second he went straight forward into a frontal assault leaving many openings for me to take advantage of swinging the wooden blade I aimed it near his midsection.

Wait he's changed the direction of his attack he purposely lured me in so that he could strike me when I was vulnerable...that's completely suicidal my arms move instinctively blocking the attack at the last second.

"I think that's good enough Saber thank you for your assistance," he said turning away from my gaze.

"You were not too bad with the use of a sword but," I complimented and then paused for a moment "your movements were too predictable more so because you were using my own style that I was able to easily halt your strikes, but you did surprise me at the end when you pulled out that unfamiliar style against me," I complimented yet advised.

"I see," he replied with a look of contemplation suddenly without warning both of our stomachs grumbled in synch I looked down a bit in embarrassment "ah perhaps we should go see if Shirou is already awake to make breakfast for us," he suggested.

"yes..I quite agree we should after all having an empty stomach is an enemy that must be dealt with swiftly," I said eager to forget this moment.

"Thank you for the food!" the two of us complimented when Shirou placed our food down with that, we dug into our meal with intense vigor. Shirou discreetly smiled especially when he saw that William was actually matching the speed of which I consumed my own meal.

"Did you sleep well last night?" William asked after eating his last bowl of food Shirou nodded slowly "of course I did William you don't have to worry about me I am fine," he reassured with a wide smile.

"Ah we should probably go now William school starts in an hour or so," Shirou announced rather abruptly grabbing the empty plates back to the kitchen William sighs for some reason and went outside.

I could see the look of disappointment Shirou was giving him from his spot in the kitchen "Shirou if I may ask why is it that you look so...disappointed in William just now?" I couldn't help but ask.

He looked down "I am not disappointed with him just in this particular hobby of his that may get him killed eventually if he's not careful," he then went on to explain everything about William's bad habit of smoking.
