[centre][color=bc8dbf][h1]Valentina[/h1][/color][/centre] [centre][h3] Excalibur Hotel, Paradise [/h3][/centre] Perfect. With that reply from her Partner, Valentina allowed an almost inhuman smile cross across her face, the edges of her mouth just a little to wide before she stared at Rider with a blank expression in her one eye, unable to fully put any emotion in her eye. She knew his love for knowledge would be what would carry them through this war, that and his magnificent Library, a testament to his power. [color=bc8dbf]"Of course! I know little of this task, breaking people is somehing that my magic does for me automatically, never have I had to draw someone out of their natural being. That is more of your wheelhouse, now of course"[/color] Her control dropped from the limo driver, his fate sealed as she glimpsed the room that Rider had created, a devilish smirk on her lips as the door slammed front in front of her. Truly this was the partnership she had been needing. She glided alongside her servant as he discussed the expedition, giving his map a good look before nodding. [color=bc8dbf]"Truth be told, my preparations needed much more work and I apologise for such. Enemies are nearby and I feel my misunderstanding of this city's layout has led us to the heart of the storm. Perhaps this may prove beneficial in the long run."[/color] She let herself explain to him, sending off another ragged patchwork creature, sending them all in the direction of the two powerful presences she was feeling. As they stepped into the elevator she dusted herself off and eyed up her Partner again, before shaking her head. A normal outfit would barely suit him, and right now, she couldn't care much for blending in. [color=bc8dbf]"Those locations are suitable. I look forward to seeing your skill of Riding, Ancient King! This war is full of surprises, even now with just you, I feel like my goal is finally in reach!"[/color] They stepped out of the elevator and she motioned for him to follow as they approached the limo. [color=bc8dbf]"If we encounter any trouble on our way, for tonight we should attempt to keep your identity secret. If there is a battle that can be won, I say we should attempt, but I cannot afford to lose you if we have any unfortunate failures, I hope this is understandable?"[/color] With that she slid into the long passenger compartment of the Limo, sitting just behind the driver's seat, crossing her legs and humming slightly, very much in the mood to find another Magus to see just how well they cope with a familiar that could rip them to shreds.
