[center][h1][color=fffb96]August Thane[/color][/h1] [h3]Headmaster's Office, The Clock Tower[/h3][/center] August was somewhat taken aback by the Paladin's response, but the way he talked about killing and dying made him wonder just how old this man was, and how much of that life had been spent in combat. [color=fffb96]"Maybe my word choice was too heavy. I just hope, like Leon said, that we can rely on each other's abilities to contribute to the effort in the upcomong battle."[/color] August considiered saying more, but before he could, he heard the sound of the office door opening behind him. Looking over his shoulder, August saw a woman survey the office before announcing herself. The name didn't mean anything to him, although the way she said it gave him the impression she might have been someone prestigious. She didn't appear overtly intimidating like Anderson, but August supposed she could have been dangerous withoit being obvious about it, much like Leon. [color=fffb96][i]Then again, perhaps it's unreasonable to assume that more than half of the Masters of Black will be irregular combat-mages.[/i][/color] He considered introducing himself, but the way Teresa positioned herself after she sat seemed to indicate she had little interest in conversation. August wondered what sorts of Servants each of his allies would summon, and awaited the arrival of the remaining three.
