"Don't worry, milady, I will protect you with my life. You should rest up for tomorrow."<br/>While her master gets ready to fall asleep, she reviews the information provided her by the grail.  Much like Assassin had earlier, she is pleasantly surprised that women have come so far in the years since her death. In Lancer's day, it was considered dishonorable to fight or die alongside a woman. Now, women openly served in the military and civilian women commonly took self defense classes. In her day, a woman who had combat training, such as herself, was exceedingly rare. The social and political gains women had made were nothing to sneeze at either. And yet, while Lancer found their progress reassuring, she couldn't help but feel somewhat saddened by how far they still had to go.  She found herself wondering about her own master. Did she take for granted all these hard won rights? If so, it might be hard for her to understand the trials Lancer had gone through in her day. At least for the battles ahead, she would be judged not by her gender but by her ability to fight and her ability to serve her lady. In both regards, she thought herself more than capable.  By promising her the opportunity to fight strong enemies in the name of a master, the grail had already granted her wish.  With that in mind, Lancer contemplates what she would ask of the grail if she were to obtain it.
