He was relieved to see Lancer and not some Assassin Servant who was stalking him. He gave her an annoyed look, his eyebrow twitching. [i][color=#0EB94D]"You say that as if you're the one who's looking."[/color][/i] This did not (probably) turn him on with the whisper of her voice. He will admit that her beauty alone was enough to allure him but he quickly bonked her on the head (not that she would feel any pain) for such a long delay in responding to his question. [color=#ffd700]"You should answer immediately to my summons or requests next time. I felt unguarded there for a second because some coward might send some weak Assassin Servant against me. Hmph. Shame on you."[/color] He sounded rather strict towards her playful nature. He would've thought she would at least take this thing seriously and respond. He doesn't fear death but death at the hands of a one-hit killer is pretty pathetic for his family name. "THE FIRST CONTENDER TO DIE IN THE GRAIL WAR IN ONE NIGHT" - That was something he didn't like. [i][color=#0EB94D]"Now then, on to business, as you requested! You'll be pleased to know that I've already begun searching for local Prana-based disturbances in the area. If any Servants or Magi start mucking about nearby, we'll be the first to know. My Berkana-runed stones will return here - or rather, to the balcony outside - and then guide us to the area of the disturbance. This concludes my report!"[/color][/i] Okay, he took it back. Looks like she wasn't completely so annoying after all, with an impressed smile he nods at such work, but before he could give out her phrase. She decided to be a nuisance once more, to mock him of all things with her "impression of him". He wasn't inherently offended but he gestured her to stop with a blank face before he smacks her in the head again with Reinforcement spells. [i][color=#0EB94D]"What's the matter with you, anyway, my dear Master? You seem out of sorts this evening,"[/color][/i] Edward sighed, wiping a small bead of sweat with his handkerchief as he puts it back in the pocket. [color=#ffd700]"I'd like you to know that we're in a war and most of this thing isn't fun and games. It's about the glory and the prize of the Holy Grail in my hands."[/color] He turned around to the glass pane, looking down on the streets with a devious smile. "[color=#ffd700]Do your runes notify us even if we were outside our base of operations? I don't want to be late on my intimidating, yet stunning entrance in front of the other Masters."[/color]. Very full of himself indeed, looking down on the competition before they even met. [@Feyblue]
