She could feel the whole room of people tense up as the glow started to shine it's brightest, each one of them wondering which marvelous hero should step through that light. She covered her eyes as the wind started to move, and at its strongest, finally materialized the form of the hero made to vie for the grail.

Marie stared blankly at the little girl in red standing before her. She could almost feel almost everyone, if not all of them, in the room racking their brains trying to think of a hero this young. Though Gabriel seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with this new development.

"I take it you are the one who has summoned me, little girl?"

"Hoh!" Marie covered her mouth and looked away from the Servant. "Says the little girl. I'll have you kno-"

Gabriel's hand clamped down on her shoulder, as he gave her a stern look. "Y..yes. I am the one who summoned you. Rejoice, for you will be working for a greater good."

With a nod, Gabriel turned to the others, giving a passionate speech once more about their duties in the Grail wars. Say what you will about the man, he knew how to get back into his own pace quickly. She noticed he didn't much emphasize anything about her and her Servant this time around. Perhaps he was still coping with the rather unspectacular looking servant she had pulled out.

"You know... You don't really look that impressive yourself." With barely a shift in expression, she jabbed straight into the question most of them were undoubtedly thinking, but didn't have the heart to say.

Without fanfare or pomp, he simply accepted that weak link pulling at him, walking through the bright light.

His vision filled with white, until it finally cleared, revealing the rather shabby room, and the woman standing there just looking at him. Was this her home? He sincerely hoped it wasn't. Such a cute lady shouldn't be living in such a space. If anything, this would perhaps be her temporary base to make the summoning circle in peace. And if it was, well... he didn't really want anything but a good clean honorable duel, so perhaps she could use the Grail to do something about that.

"Yo, I assume that since you're the only one here, you're my master?"

It seems he had gotten lucky this time. With such a cute master, he could take on the world! Probably.
