Interacting with: Taka [@1Charak2][/center]

As the woman in front of him spoke, three things became immediately apparent: Firstly, she seemed completely disconnected to what was going on around her; Secondly, she was apparently underestimating him based on the age difference, [color=dimgray][i]'Kid? I'm 19 and I've probably killed more people than years she's been alive![/i][/color], and Thirdly, he was faintly aware of the disturbing sensation of crazed eyes on his back. Just to be safe, he gave Archer another warning to be on the lookout. Adjusting his grip on the phone in his hand, he seemlessly slipped on the mask of the polite stranger.

[color=dimgray]"Strange? I'm surprised you haven't heard about it already. There was an explosion at the docks last night, but they haven't confirmed anything about it."[/color]

Flipping the phone in his hand, he subtley dismissed the camera feed and brought up one of the news station websites, quickly finding the story they had reported earlier this morning. Turning it to face her, he replayed the report until it was done before closing the device and making sure it was slipped into a false pocket hidden inside his coat. The malicious eyes still crawled along his back, and he was slowly becoming more convinced that it something to do with the woman he was talking to...

[color=dimgray][i]"Archer, can you read any kind of signature from this woman?"[/i][/color]

[color=black][i]"It's faint, but I can feel a flow of mana between her and someone else, but the other one is too well hidden for my Hunter's Mark to detect."[/i][/color]

[color=dimgray][i]"Magus?"[/i][/color]

[color=black][i]"Most likely, Master."[/i][/color]

Hidden by a small, polite smile, James grit his teeth. Any Magus in Fuyuki, during the Grail War, was a potential Master. This woman was no different. Ignoring instinct to draw his weapon, he maintained his cover as he smiled again.

[color=dimgray]"Why'd you ask? It was on the news this morning, so I thought most people would have heard about it from somewhere."[/color]
