[h2]Nanaya Saizou, Master of Assassin
Just Outside of the Church Grounds[/h2]

[hr]

With the Overseer gone, he was left now with his Servant. Her words were difficult to ignore, like he would do with any other person. It was part of her nature, and who she was. Her words were ambrosia to men, and no matter how detached he may be, there were some things he simply could not remove himself from. Difficult to ignore, but not impossible. With some applied focus, he allowed her words to roll over him, the flattery falling flat. Such a troublesome partner. [i]'It is not faith in a Goddess I have, Assassin,'[/i] He communicated to her through their bond. [i]'It is faith in you, Assassin. While you are a divinity, that is not why I am confident in your abilities,'[/i] 

He also doubted the claim of having a supposedly good heart, but he would let her think that. What kind of heart did he have, Saizou wondered? Thoughts for another time. [i]'Thank you for your kind words.'[/i]

Saizou looked to the Church once more, folding his hands behind his back, the slightest smile on his face. On the one hand, the natural talents of Assassin against men were troublesome, but he appreciated her rather relaxed nature nonetheless. It was something he had lacked in his life, even during his 'vacation' in Wuhan. The people were dour and serious, and he was no better. It was refreshing. 

[i]'I feel a Bounded Field forming around the Church. Our enemy is still inside, preparing. Assassin, your first order: Scout the premises, find out which foe we are dealing with. If that cannot be done, then simply find the fulcrum point of this bounded field, and destroy it. In the meanwhile, I will return to the temple.'[/i]

He turned on his heel, and took his first step. He paused. [i]'Try not to get attacked, Assassin,'[/i] He said, throwing her own words back at her, although without a hint of jest even if it was clearly meant in a lighthearted manner. [i]'I do not wish for my partner to be put in unnecessary danger, after all. If you feel you are in danger, then retreat. There is no shame in it. See you soon.' 
[/i]

And with that, he continued, making his way back to the temple. He adjusted his hat.
