[h1]Kishinami Hakuno[/h1]

Hakuno was quick to avert her eyes when Euryale began to shamelessly change in front of her. In absolutely no way did she allow her brown eyes to linger on the beautiful girl's form before tearing them away. That would be improper conduct towards a Goddess, after all. You don't just [i]stare[/i] at a divine being while she disrobes. Not unless you were looking for a cursed existence forevermore.

Her queries took the young master by surprise however, and she glanced towards the small girl once more. Much like before, Hakuno totally did not examine the skin bared to her in that brief instant, forcing her to turn away fully. She only turned her back out of deference for Archer's privacy. Also, her cheeks were only reddening a little from the heat of the dressing room.

"...I... am fine," Hakuno replied, somewhat unconvincingly. True, she wasn't sick or anything... but she was beginning to realise that contracting a goddess known for her beauty was going to be taxing in a way that... really, Hakuno should have seen coming.

"Then I suppose we'd best lay in wait sooner, rather than later," Lancer commented, giving his beard one more stroke. Lowering his hand, he gently took hold of Estelle's own, indicating for her to stop.

"Excuse me, My Lady," the towering Servant carefully picked up the small girl in a bridal carry, and after bending his knees, launched himself towards the sky. Despite his frame, the green-clad Servant seemed almost weightless as he arced towards a rooftop three stories high, Estelle firmly held close. He was not aware of her opinion regarding heights or sudden flight, but it was probably difficult to feel endangered in Lancer's arms.

With a soft thud, they landed on the roof, and Estelle was carefully lowered to her feet, "pardon my rudeness, but time is of critical importance when preparing an ambush."

Indeed, he was aware of a particular presence slowly approaching... doubtless a Servant. He immediately assumed spirit form, though there was every possibility the opposing Servant had noticed him already, anyway. That said, they wouldn't be aware of his [i]exact[/i] location, and as long as Estelle remained undetected as well, a surprise attack could theoretically work.

It was best not to be so optimistic when your opponent was a fellow heroic spirit, however.
