Having been merrily enjoying her food and not taking part in the negotiation, Tamamo was surprised by the sudden turn of events on both sides.

She couldn't have imagined that Seyrun would actually surrender herself to such a degree to her Master. Oh, the ploy was obvious, even [i]Wes[/i] saw through it when few men really could. Tamamo felt a twinge of irritation that she hadn't considered she would make the attempt, but that quickly faded with another mouthful of tofu. Wes wouldn't cheat her on, she was well aware, but it would have been a good test of self-control to see if he wouldn't take advantage of the prostrating magus-

"... Ummm, okayyy. Setting aside the fact that I'm actually kind of spoken for, surprise surprise, do you [i]seriously[/i] think I'm a retard, or are you just being facetious? Because honestly, right now? It's kinda hard to tell."

He sighed. 

"Caster, just... just get rid of her. Maybe throw her off the side of the boat or something, I dunno."

"Master?" Meal temporarily forgotten in favor staring gobsmacked at Wes, Caster really didn't [i]want[/i] to understand the reasoning behind that action. [i]Can he not restrain himself around another woman? Could he be some sort of deviant? No, no, he is so innocent that he goes catatonic whenever I flirt with him! Unless...is he maybe restraining some dark impulse to ravish me? BAKA![/i]

"Eep!" Even if it was internal, she was shocked at herself for thinking as such about her master. He likely had an ingenious plan that just didn't take in to account her own efforts to bring him a skilled ally. It wasn't like he didn't appreciate her gift to him. "Umm, Master, hasn't Seyrun given us [i]everything[/i] she feasibly can? It seems wasteful to do so because she gave herself wholly to your service." 

She might have wanted to lord herself over Seyrun as Wes' one, true beloved, but there was a familiar ring to this situation. How easy could it have been for the situations to be reversed? If he had the ally who he pledged his heart to and would cast aside the Servant who was willing to offer themselves freely to their service?

Her ears drooped as she rose more uncertain than when she had returned to the boat. Tamamo could deduce from the light jingling of metal on metal she picked up on walking with Seyrun that she wore a considerable amount of jewelry, probably enough to make her sink like a stone. While she may have said she was willing to kill Seyrun, this was not the context she had expected to be asked to do so.  

But she was still a loyal Servant, shaken but not deterred. "As you say Master."

With the swiftness of a Servant with A rank Agility, Tamamo had swept the surrendering magus off her feet much the same way a certain bon vivant, the Heroic Spirit not the foreign boy, across town was doing. Certain her grip was firm, Tamamo leapt off the boat and into the cold 10AM waters. 

As they descended as quickly as Tamamo had expected they would -How much metal was this magus carrying?- she gave Seyrun a playful wink that she hoped could be seen given the light's thinning as they went deeper. [i]Ara, you are too clever for your own good. It would be better to drown you then wait for the hounds to chase you from your home.[/i]

Finding that they had gone down a few meters, enough to get the point across, she started furiously kicking to counter the weight of her burden, and broke through the surface. A short paddle over and they were back aboard the yacht.

Tamamo deposited the magus back in chair before taking her own, acting as though the both of them weren't sopping wet. 

"Sorry Master, but I had offered to share drinks with Seyrun-san, and it would reflect poorly on my wifely ability if I drowned her before hand."
