[Elena Lupei, Fuyuki Central Park, Shinto]

...

There's a moment of silence, necessary in order for Elena to properly comprehend the situation. Throughout its entirety, she stares into the red-hued eyes of her newly summoned Servant without the slightest hint of a reaction. The same smile from before was still plastered on her face, giving her the image of somebody who had just won a game by bluffing magnificently. She understands, of course, that the hand now tenderly gripping her body was that of her partner. [i]Yo, he says...[/i]

[i]"I take it that you're my Lancer-class Servant?"[/i] She asks, taking in the red spear resting over his shoulder out of the corner of her vision. Her hands go back down to her side, and she gives the Servant in blue a slanted look of interest. 

[i]"Good to see you."[/i]

She returns his greeting just a little more formally than his own, but with the same unmistakably casual tone. Nobody had ever touched her there before, not in recent memory at least, and in any other circumstance she would have likely been beyond annoyed. It was balanced out, perhaps, by the fact that her heart was now beating quickly at the thought of what she had just accomplished. Sure, the Grail had done most of the work, but she had just summoned a legendary hero to serve as her familiar. A young magus couldn't do something like that without getting at least a little excited, not if they had any heart left that is. So, instead of reprimanding her Servant, Elena simply extends her own hand in the well-known expression of a handshake-

[i]"I am Elena Lupei, the Magus who used the power of the Grail to call you here. I'd rather get these formalities out of the way quickly, we'll have plenty of time to chat once we get out of the open. So tell me, Servant Lancer..." 

"Will you join me in winning this war?"[/i]
