It also occurs to me that the Saber's hairstyle and particularly the bow in her hair make her look really girly. The battle armor dress doesn't help either. Change the hair to a more military style (seriously, why does a king and warrior have hair that long?), get rid of the bow and the battle dress, and add a beard, and you could probably mistake Saber for an effeminate young man.
I can only presume that Mordred refused to parley if Arthur wasn't dressed like that.
