That kiss was broken and Artoria was given the time to catch her breath. She was not the type to back out of any situation, but here and now... she could not move forward. Yes, that was the case. But what would Gilgamesh have to say about this denial. There was smug acceptance and a claim that this had been the simplest approach. That was terrifying. He'd also loosed her neck and waist, she could move and she would do, though it took her a moment. Artoria would not be taking uneasy steps in front of this smug man. "Do not tease me, King of Heroes," she said with sharp eyes but less firmness than she would have preferred in her own voice. She extricated herself from his lap and stood, cup in one hand, The Holy Lance in the other, which would disappear as it was switched with Excalibur. She would be finding her sister immediately. He claimed she could go, and find her sister instead of having him place her soul back into her body. She was fairly certain she did not have a soul at all to begin with but if she did, he'd definitely taken a piece of it. "I am going," she said to mark her seemingly calm exit. Even so, there was something disturbed about her face. Like she hadn't quite gotten it completely under her own control. She wasn't distressed or dishelved, she simply did not fully have the mask of her normal visage in place. Where would she go? Towards the palace not knowing who she passed initally as she sought out a bath. Why a bath? Because a standing body of water would do, and she intended to be clean before appearing in front of guests.
Even so, she dropped Excalibur into the water and watched it disappear in the surface. This same blade would appear in the hand of another in front of a certain Pharaohs whom she'd been chatting with. "Oh? I think we will be in the bath. Give us a few minutes... she's probably freaking out about something~" said the blonde haired woman with startling blue eyes. Not the color jewel sapphires like their youngest sister, instead a more electric sort of blue almost otherworldly even here. A few second later in front of a large steaming bath the Holy Sword Excalibur would appear back in the hands of Artoria and on the other end that long haired blonde fae girl would also be there. There was no stopping this lass in a moment like this, she had to just spill everything. "I kissed the King of Heroes. I do not know how to feel or what to do about it, I do not have a face for dealing with this situation!" she exclaimed immediately. Those electric blue eyes widened just a tad and then a laugh escaped her. "Well, you could always get back out there. I am sure something really fun will happen by the end of it~" she teased ever so gently much to Artoria's dismay. "Absolutely not. I do not understand why I did it at all... I do not have feelings Rie. I do not feel things, I thought it would just happen and be over, but I felt this. I felt it and I did not dislike it, my body is not my own, it betrays me at every turn where he is involved."
