...She had to admit, she liked the way that Guan acted. He didn't seem to be daunted by the fact that all of the Servants might as well show up. Yet, Akane was still a bit worried. She didn't know what to expect when it came to Servants or Masters fighting one another; she had only read stories and examples from textbooks and other hefty tomes when the mark appeared on her hand. She didn't even agree with it-- she had been willing to use all of her Command Seals at once simply to get rid of her Servant as soon as possible, but... even though she was lazy and rather stay at home watching television, she still liked to maintain whatever honor she had left. Though, she wondered if she should even be as afraid or nervous as she was. Her Servant was a Lancer, one of the stronger classes summoned by the Holy Grail. Guan would be able to handle himself. Or at least, he should.

[b]"Thanks for the compliment,"[/b] Akane replied with a mischievous expression, grinning like a fox up at the man. [b]"It's not often that people see how awesome I am."[/b] 

She crossed her arms, listening to what he said as she leaned against her bed frame. Now that she was sure he knew how to defend himself, all that remained was selecting a battlefield for the confrontation. Lancer didn't know the city, and she had never thought about choosing a place to fight. Akane wasn't one for strategy. Her mind began to think about all of the possible open spaces there were in the city away from the prying eyes of spectators. Three areas came to her mind, and she snapped her fingers excitedly. [b]"Ah, I have a few settings for the showdown that you might like to use. One is an abandoned parking lot to the south of the city. It's pretty big, but there aren't many places to hide, so I dunno if you wanna use that,"[/b] she explained, counting off of her fingers as she described the areas she knew.

[b]"Another place is a construction site that's nearby here, but it's inactive during the week. No one's gonna be around, and it's big, too. You can climb the metal frames and things of the sort if you wanna be on higher ground than your enemy."[/b] That was two. She held the third finger as if contemplating her choices, her eyes on Lancer's face to see if he preferred one area over the others. [b]"Third area is an abandoned shopping mall. The abandoned parking lot I told ya about earlier used to be on the mall's property. It's a huge battleground-- there are three floors and many twists, turns, and hiding spots that you can use. But I think the enemies aren't going to be stupid, either, so they'll definitely use it to their advantage as well."[/b]

Akane blinked up at him, obviously proud of herself for thinking of all of this. The silly grin was still on her face as she eagerly awaited his reply. [b]"Well? Does any of them sound like they'd suit you?"[/b]
