[In life, Arthur made an attempt to be the guiding point of the spear rather than the one grasping the hilt. That had always been the purpose of a round table, after all, there was no head.
He had in time come to learn there was limits to those ideals he wanted to achieve and his oversight had cost his country dearly. In reality, he had still been king and his seat at the circular table did little to diminish that no matter how much he attempted to mitigate it.
As a Servant, Saber had to juggle his own sense of self and outlook with the desires of his Master. It was a tricky position to negotiate. And as he fell in line behind Lelouch's step, some old habits ebbed back into Saber's own pace. He keeps an even gait, back straight, head forward with only the briefest of glances to the side at the guards without fully turning toward any of them.
There are so many other questions he has about Lelouch, about his standing, about how he is viewed by a third of the world compared to the other two, whether this guards are under the influence of Geass or not. But it can wait and, for the moment, Saber takes in what he can from quiet observation and remains at Lelouch's back, very much allowing him to lead wherever he intends to take them. And it is likely best he keeps questions and commentary to a minimum out in the open--he doesn't know enough about the lay of the land yet himself and already doesn't know who is and isn't privy to Lelouch's actions and secrets yet.]
