Keisuke took a step back as Siegfried moved between him and the new Caster, the tension in the air palpable as he replied.

"Caster... Skuld. Given that you have introduced yourself by your True Name, I should assume that you have no ill will towards the inhabitants of this town. At the same time, it is not as if I am not aware of your deeds, and I am not so naive as to leave myself undefended as one such as you," the Saber replied, sword still sheathed as he stared at the little girl. "Despite your appearance, you are capable of far more than you let on, correct?"

Keisuke simply pondered the situation before taking a step to the side, opting to not remain wholly behind Siegfried's back. Now that he could see the Caster in full view, he did have to admit that the girl was indeed... Short. Almost childlike, in a sense.

Also that she probably needed more clothing, but given the outfits of his other Servants, that... Something like that could be put off for the moment.

"More than that, I am more curious about why you decided to make yourself known to us. I would presume that you knew we were here once the day had come, so it would have been simple to simply lurk about. Is it simply the fact that we two are here alone, or is there something that you wished to discuss without the interference of other Servants present?" the Enforcer asked, staring straight at the Caster with stone-faced resolve.

Once the pair had made their way to the backyard, the old man set up a shield against a log—a rather old one, however sturdy it seemed to be—and gestured for the Archer to cut through it if she could. Tomoe found it odd how he had moved so quickly despite the situation, but let out a huff and took a deep breath.

"Focus..." she muttered to herself, closing her eyes for a moment before drawing her katana and bisecting the shield in one fell swoop. The shield took a second before the seam began to show, and in a few seconds the old wooden shield fell apart into two clean halves. The old man stared at the shield in shock for a moment before grumbling and setting up another shield in the same spot.

"That one was rotting; surely you can't cut through THIS one!" he boasted as the Archer calmly cut that one through in a similar manner.

"Are we done here? I came to examine your arms, not to humiliate anyone," Tomoe sighed as the old man angrily set up a test dummy clad in armor and slapped it on the back.

"This is the last one! The last two were simply defective," the old man spat out, flustered at the situation as Tomoe glared at the test dummy.

"This is the last one, then? No more?" she asked to confirm, to which the red-faced old man nodded vigorously. "Very well. Let me demonstrate what this blade can do."

With a nod, Tomoe took a step back and adopted a battle stance before dashing past the dummy, her sword outstretched beside her as she moved. At first glance, it looked as if her weapon had done nothing, which led the old man to smile triumphantly. It was only after a few seconds of that short-lived joy, though, that the dummy's top half slowly slid off and fell on the ground with an underwhelming 'thunk'.

"There," Tomoe said, calmly sheathing her katana before turning back to the old man. "Keep your word."

"I—You—Fine!" he spat before angrily lowering himself on the ground in front of the Archer and, through gritted teeth, promised to the Archer's terms. It wasn't as if she could enforce it, anyhow—

"And so it shall be. I shall speak with that... Mr. Larsen, was it? I'm sure that he'll make sure you keep your word," Tomoe said, a smug smile on her face as she calmly left the store. It dawned on her after a few moments, though, that she hadn't really... Accomplished her initial goal.

"Oh, what am I doing? I should be gathering information, not acting like some lord or ronin from a play doling out justice," she chastised herself mentally before walking away. "I wonder if the others have had any better progress; being sidetracked like that was a mistake, if anything..."
