Interacting with: Taka, Assassin (Jack) [@1Charak2][/center]

James nodded once at the woman's confirmation, filing the information into the mental portfolio he was compiling of the two females. While they may have found a common enemy for the time being, James recognised that neither he nor other master had voiced any confirmation that they were in fact allies. This truce between them was tentative at best, but he had no intention of breaking it yet, and it seemed that neither did she...

Holstering his still-drawn weapon, He raised an eyebrow, as did Van Helsing, at the way she interacted with her servant. As he watched the almost [i]motherly[/i] exchange, he pondered the relationship that the two shared. As he watched, His mind drifted to his own family, his mother patting his sister's head in much the same way, back before everything went to hell. The master's sarcastic remark drew his attention back to the present before his eyes quickly alternated from her to Van Helsing and back. The thought of her trying to reach the top of his head was briefly amusing, although the man in question seemed bemused by the suggestion. In response to the comment about his earlier actions, his eyebrow once again raised.

His last comment was tinted with sarcasm, but he leaned away from any hostility. He really wasn't in the mood for a verbal sniping match. When she gave her name, he was a little surprised by her family, but did as she asked and didn't comment on it. He knew a little about the Fredericks, a family of Curse-focused Magi hailing from London, but other than that they were largely unimportant to him. He had hunted Magi much larger in both reputation and power, so it was hard to impress him than most. Taka had done fairly well in that regard, considering her skill with martial arts, firearms and the true, if a little unusual, bond she shared with her servant.
