"Night is descending. Are you sure you wish to venture for the Overseer's location? It would be wise to assume others have come to the same idea, and may seek to take advantage of travelers." Hugues tone was cautious, clearly opinionated but supportive of her decisions regardless. The Rider hummed as she explained her distaste for the use of furthered Bounded Fields, and expressed a counter-point, relying on his proficiency in the hidden.

"I may not look it, but my logical Servant class would be more akin to an Assassin of sorts, believe it or not Master," he began, "Though I may be a Rider, my potential may yet lie in arts suited for espionage and traps, if only slightly thanks to my current class. I would like to think my knowledge of the shadows may afford further-away Bounded Fields from alerting enemy compositions from outright discovering our temple. Beyond Bound Fields, my powers may give us a different scouting advantage..." Hugues said.

More aware of her Servants parameters and skills, she would have noticed his [i]Never Alone's[/i] nature even more clearly than another Servant or Mage could. Still in his spiritual form, his presence nevertheless alerted Alcie as to there being 'someone more' to Rider than initially observed. It felt as though there were two, three, four...? She could not truly discern the exact count of presences that drifted about her Servant, but there definitely did seem to be more presences than Rider alone.

And even as she came to realize it was a purposeful trick, that the presences were no more than a passive skill making itself apparent to her, there was something more to it she couldn't quite place. It was only until [i]they[/i] appeared that it became clear. Two ghostly shapes drifted into her view, manifesting within her home out of thin air. They were faint, almost invisible, and were she familiar with their existence, would have understood them to be [i]wraiths[/i].

Their interference with the world was negligible, especially given that even their appearance was barely registering in reality, but present they were.

"My lieges are as much mine as they are yours, Master. Though they are few in this nation, they will serve you and I as readily as they can. For now, they may merely watch, but as their existences are faint, their presences will not easily be detected by another Master of Servant. They may not be a Bounded Field, but they can serve as watchful eyes all the same. So long as we remain in this temple, they may keep vigil outside. They cannot drift far from us, try as I might to control them at such distances." Hugues paused for a moment, and the wraiths disappeared fully from sight. Whether or not they had moved, Alcie could not tell.

"By your leave, we may head for the Overseer, if that is still your wish."
