[color=gold]"Yes, i am your master-"[/color] Lorelei had said, barely having the words leave her mouth to confirm their contract as master and servant, before the immediate burn of her newly-formed Command Seals stopped her in her tracks. 

There was someone here, who had apparently taken the time to wait for her to summon before attacking. It was the worst-case scenario she had hoped to avoid by getting here early and summoning before anyone else perhaps came to this area. But why had they not attacked her before? Why had they not stopped her from summoning, and why had they not attacked her instead of her servant? Surely killing her would easily remove the competition from this conflict, especially if she was attacked before summoning a servant. Though at this point in time, it was really not in her or her servant's best interests to stick around here any longer. As such action was needed. 

The moment she had felt her Command Seals burn, she instinctively begun uttering a Ten-Count Healing Spell aimed at her servant specifically. Perhaps it was that she felt confident he would dive in front of her if she was the one being targeted. Perhaps it was because she felt he would be the target if an enemy had waited so long to attack them. Whatever the case really was, as her servant was visibly impaled through his center of mass by the seemingly faster-than-light attack, Lorelei continued to chant the Ten-Count spell as best as she could. She was going to pull out the best of her healing spells for this, as holding back at such a venture as this was not something she could afford to do in regards to her servant. The damage was abysmal looking, and if she lost her servant this early into thing it would only serve to force her out of them unless she could get another servant. 

She was also not too sure how these enemies would feel if she tried to summon another servant as well, albeit she wouldn't do so here if it came down to that. 

Eventually, however, the homunculus would finish casting the Ten-Count spell onto her servant, with Lorelei herself being thankful for the thirty second cast time as compared to the one minute it would have taken for others. Visibly she could begin to see the spell shimmer over her servant's body, and it would immediately begin knitting up the damage to Rostam's physical form and body the moment she had finished casting it really. The spell would last for a while, thirty minutes, though the female homunculus was not too sure if her servant could move right now so they could get away to heal after what had just happened. 

[color=gold]"I wish to give no disrespect,"[/color] Lorelei said to her servant after finishing casting her spell over his body, her eyes darting around the windows and other areas of the abandoned house to see where the attack could have come from, [color=gold]"But it seems we need to retreat back into the nearby forest for now. I have cast a healing spell on you, but if we are attacked again i do not know if my magecraft can keep up with the damage."[/color]

It was safe to say this event had caught her off-guard, even despite her having come here knowing the risks. However, at least her summoned servant seemed to be hardy enough to survive a brutal attack like this that seemed to pierce through all and deal absurd damage in just one blow. Not true name had been called out, however, so unless this was the result of some passive Noble Phantasm this enemy was likely not using their best attack on them. To retreat for now would be paramount to their survival as master and servant, and Lorelei hoped that her suggestion to retreat for now would not be offensive to her servant. If nothing else, she hoped the tactic would make logical sense enough to them that they could get out of here without the use of a Command Seal. After all, she was unsure as to if she had summoned as stubborn servant or not at this venture, though his initial kneeling before her was a good sign to the homunculus if nothing else...
