Well, that had been less climactic than he had hoped. His order stood-- Assassin would kill, just not then and there. The numbers were just not in their favour, and he would not disrespect the capabilities of their foe. So rather than fight, he simply went to the market and then returned to their base of operations. It was a lovely morning. The people of the city were upbeat, even in the shadow of a burgeoning Holy Grail War. 

The Temple's immense amount of steps were actually quite forgiving, compared to some of the other temples around the country. If it was sheerer, and the steps larger, it might have been a bother. As it stood, his morning had been pleasant! Scouted out their enemy, rapport with the Observer, and some good news to bring back to the camp, on top of some ingredients. He wasn't the best cook, but by what was good he would try. These Servants were guests to his country, and he would not be a poor host. 

Frankly, the fact he had left it so long was disrespectful enough, but he was the lax sort when it came to pleasantries... by the standards of his family, at least. 

[i]'I am sorry, Assassin. My feelings swelled, and I made a rather brash order when it was not time. It was foolish of me,'[/i] He admitted through their connection, letting out a sigh. [i]'It was a failure on my part, but I will make amends.'[/i]

He took his role very seriously. Being the best partner to Assassin as he possibly could be was part of his role, and his shameful display with the order to kill was not part of that. Luckily, that had not gone ahead.

Enough of the past. He had to focus on the present. 

Reaching the gates, he gave the present duo a bow. "Ms. Einzbern, Lancer," He greeted, standing back up straight. With a bag in hand, he reached up to adjust his hat a little. "A quiet morning is for the best. I was eager to start things off, but there has been a development, one which will work in our favour."

He took a step closer to the two, a slight and polite smile gracing his features. Unsurprisingly, smiling did not come naturally to him, but it was something he had learned over the past few months. Apparently, people liked smiles. He wasn't even sure if anyone back home knew what a smile was, now that he thought about it. It wasn't really something the Nanaya did in their best moods. 

"But we can talk about that later. You are both guests to this country, no?" He raised the other hand, also occupied with a bag. The paper in both bags seemed strained like they could rip open at any moment. Efficient shopping wasn't one of the things he was trained in. "I would be doing my nation is a disservice if I did not make food for you at least once. We can talk while eating."

It was only the first day. They still had a moment of peace. While he did not require it, he could not be certain of the others. Tohsaka was his main concern, in that regard. Matou was aged, an experienced man, and he frankly could not get a read on Einzbern. She was... strange. Pure in a way he was not quite used to. 

Then again, maybe he just wanted an excuse to cook.
