[hr]

The loftily-clad man, at first, did not react to Rider's advances of conversation. Emmerich merely held up a finger to the legendary creature without even bothering to look at him. After a minute of silence, a sharp exhale followed and the melancholic-faced officer gently set the headset back into the trunk of the car. With a flick of a single switch, he noted:[color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]They refuse to send the liaison plane - Too dangerous for now, they say.[/i][/b]"[/color], he murmured and a tinge of annoyance spawned in his voice long seconds. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]I can't work efficiently when blind, I'm going to need those eyes in the sky![/i][/b]"[/color] But this wasn't enough to infuriate the officer - Indeed, Emmerich appeared to be a tame spirit with little capacity for true spite.

After closing the trunk of the light-weight vehicle, the officer spared an awkward glance for the Servant almost as if he didn't expect him to be interested in common roadside banter with mere mortals. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Ah, well...[/i][/b]"[/color], he began to recount as he rose from the vehicle. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Yes, the Imperial masters are a mystery still. We know nothing about them aside the looks and that a handful of them belong to prominent magus families. Judging from the photos I got, we'll have the easiest time against the Toshaka girl - Disheveled, careless, sleepy, so... [u]Unvölkisch[/u].[/i][/b]"[/color] As he uttered the last word, Emmerich's face adapted the expression of ultimate disappointment. There was no anger behind this reaction either, just mere paternal dissatisfaction as if one of his own two daughters brought home a middle school failure as her new boyfriend. However, it did not last long - The officer immediately addressed the elephant in the room. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]Patience, my Rittl'. Patience.[/i][/b]"[/color], he warmly emphasized the word.[color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]I feel your restlessness - I did so ever since we set foot onto this land. For now, I ask you only to embrace the virtuous quality of restraint. Cherish these last few moments of peacefulness we have.[/i][/b]"[/color]

With a minuscule smile on his lips addressed to Rider, Emmerich soon gave one last glance to the forest beyond Shinto through his binocular. [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]If my anticipations are correct, you may soon have more than you could bite - For your fighting urges, that is.[/i][/b]"[/color] As he set about preparing the consolidation of their presence in this area, only a distracted groan escaped his thin lips: [color=#8c8c8c]"[b][i]What are you up to, Brauer...?[/i][/b]"[/color]
