[Dalton Attwater, Foyer, Tohsaka Mansion]

Assassin's response was...unnerving at best. The large, hidden figure spoke as little as possible, and he only restated his original greeting, briefly agreeing that his loss would be unfortunate for his family. Not the talkative type, clearly. That....yeah, that was pretty creepy. Still, there didn't seem to be any open hostility to his decisions regarding the war and how they should approach it. Slowly withdrawing his offered hand, Dalton cleared his throat and began to think.

"Well, I suppose the first order of business should be to fortify our position. Normally I'd stick with scouting out the enemies, but for tonight, I'd like to take the defensive. Tomorrow we can begin operations. I want to get up a boundary field or two around here, so nobody sneaks in while I'm asleep or something." Calmly giving his direction to Assassin, he shook his head and sighed. "But before that, I'd like to know your identity, skills, and Noble Phantasm. I'm personally a fan of powerful attacks, and I use a sword in combat, along with earth and fire-based magecraft. I'm also very skilled at reinforcement and alteration magic, so I should be able to match most Masters we'll be meeting in combat. "
