So their enemy had decided to antagonize the neutral party in the structure of this war. On the one hand, this yielded opportunity, and on the other instability. The offer was one he'd have to take back to the others, to see how they would go about it. While he did not particularly expect much from Tohsaka, he at least imagined she would have some sort of input. Anything to help get her more invested was good, in his opinion. Even if that something was forcing her into a situation where she had to be invested. 

Well, that was a troubling bit of news either way. Saizou's eyes narrowed momentarily before looking away from the church and back to Arianna, nodding. The burning sensation on the back of his hand faded.

"It is a shame that they resorted to such a method. It does speak to the nature of the foe," He says, giving her a slight, polite smile. "I will take this news back to my side, and we will decide what to do from there."

The situation did not look good for his enemy. He had as much been briefed on the situation with the Church-- there was no need to fight over it, because the institution of the Church itself would not take too kindly to being disrespected in such a way. How they would respond is unknown, but it was as much a certainty that they would respond. 

For all he knew, they could attempt to shut the whole thing down. It was not an unreasonable position to take, and from what he knew of the Church, they may very well have the means to do so. Concerning, very concerning. He did not want his team getting caught up in that. 

He had need of Matou's talents. 

"If it were up to me, I would see you returned to your position. That is, ultimately, the ideal situation for all of us, no?" He bowed once again, dipping in a very formal manner. "Be safe, Overseer. I will see what I can do."

With Assassin nearing, he could scout out the Church. Her ability to conceal herself was second to none, and were he in the position of his enemy, he would not leave the church completely unattended in the event of 'capturing' it. A trap at worst, an alarm at least. In the case of the latter, it allowed the current 'owners' to know if their territory was being contested, and gave them the time to rally their forces. If the alarm is never triggered, though...

Maybe something could be done. In the absence of an Overseer, his authority could be used to its full extent. He stood upright once more, corrected his hat with a smile, and awaited his partner.
