[b]Xiang, Alleyway Summoning[/b] --- "Ooh? My Partner is a Jiang-Shi? That'd explain why you're so good at jumping." Yeah, okay, she wasn't expecting that her Master could be a cannibal but there were worse things. Possibly...not really. Xiang let out a sigh, throwing her legs over the side of the couch and standing once more at full height. She approached her Master with slow, deliberate steps. Xiang wasn't exactly the sort to give a flying pigs ass about these kinds of things, but if it was her Partner then she felt she had a duty to at least do or say something about this. So she did what came naturally. Xiang leaned down to eye height with her Master, and brought a hand up menacingly...only to flick her lightly on the forehead. "Eating people is bad manners, incredibly rude. Not to mention how bad that looks if you're intending to go somewhere good after you die. You should really think about these kinds of things!" That was the voice of a mother chiding her child, a very experienced mother at that. Xiang huffed, shaking her head at her Master's antics. "I'll let it go for now, because you did it before I arrived - but from now on, at least make an effort to pick a scumbag or something." She wasn't mad, just disappointed. With that she focused on the clearly more important matter, the War. "Getting a lay of the land - good idea." Upright once again, Rider moved to look out of the window they'd jumped in from, taking a deep breath. "I'm not the most magical of individuals either, believe it or not. Don't believe I ever met a magus in life. Seems we're a bit out of luck in that department then." She brought a hand to her chin, the other arm acting as a rest for the elbow. She remained silent for a few moments, thinking. "I have a plan, if you'd here it. It may be a bit risky, but if played right we can make up for our inability to immediately identify Masters."
