When Rider had first stepped food out of the Varianbec estate tonight, he had an idea of how things would go. He would knock a few heads together, maybe eliminate a servant, and gain a solid grasp of his other opponents. As it turns out, he had failed to kill any of the opposing servants, though he did at the very least get to assess what would likely be his greatest foe during the Grail War. She was, so far at least, one of the few people he had gained a deep and genuine respect for.

Despite Johanna Faust threatening him for reasons he couldn't even [i]begin[/i] to fathom, he simply ignored her. She was no threat to him, and in any case, he was a Heroic Spirit...he was already dead. Not that he had ever let the fear of death stop him from doing what he wanted in life.

Watching her beast carry her off underarm was somewhat amusing, however.

When Estelle agreed to end the fight, and promised to punish the woman with her own hands next time, Rider offered her a light smile. Well, it was [i]something[/i]. Only time would tell if she would make good on her words.

Refocusing his attention on Saber, his chariot slowly drifted closer to her and her Master. It's steady movement was meant to convey a lack of hostility, as he simply wished to deliver a last message to a worthy opponent. Grinning broadly at the tiny swordswoman, he cocked his head back with a chuckle. "Saber, the one enjoyable thing tonight was our duel. Something tells me you will be the greatest foe I can expect from this war, and for that reason..."

His chariot drifted higher at this, turning to face the Varianbec Estate. "For that reason, I would like to save our rematch until the very end, when there's no chance of outside interference. Talk it over with your Master. I'll do the same. Until then!"

With a quick wave over his shoulder, the chariot vanished in a flash of light.
