This was a war, and one needed to prepare, but arriving on the day of its commendation had set the Whitehall Masters back a certain degree in contrast to those both native and with the foresight to arrive early. To that end, there was much work to be done in fortifying the Temple grounds, as well as setting up her Workshop. Likely it would take a while longer to finish, but it was on its way towards completion. The other half of Serafina's evening had been spent scouting. While her sister went off to gauge some of the other, nearby Servants, Sera made her way around Miyama, investigating the different districts to some degree in the hopes of uncovering some more opponents. And find some she did. There weren't just several Masters and Servants in Miyama that night, but through her investigating she identified some traces of Workshops either constructed or being constructed. Already, hung from the wall of their room in the Temple, was a map she had laid out detailing the locations of those Workshops. While the negotiations at last nights meetings hadn't gone quite as she had planned, there was a certain part of her that was glad things hadn't devolved into a fight. As confident as she was that they could beat that Lancer, there was a degree of uncertainty in a place so fortified with Runes. What was necessary now, though, was cooperation. As far as she was aware, Reiki had her familiars all across the city, as evidenced by the way she was approached so abruptly last night. She'd just need to flag down one of the squads of worms and relay the information. It was a little while after daybreak. The exhaustion of travel, along with the work performed at the late hour of the morning had eventually forced Sera to sleep for a short while, though barely enough time to be called a proper rest; she was up and moving not two hours after falling unconscious, ready to head out, with the sun steadily rising over a new day of the War. With Berserker at her side, she readied herself to leave. But she didn't get very far, not even past the Gate of the Temple. Stood at the entrance was a shadowy form. One sera didn't recognise from her scouting. [colour=SteelBlue]"Can I help you?"[/colour] she said, cautiously, taking a step forward towards the figure, with Ajax flanking, looming over the two like a bear, [colour=SteelBlue]"You're not corporeal, are you? Are you a product of Magecraft the-"[/colour] Her voice trailed off as she caught glimpse of the horizon, and in turn city, below. Smoke was rising from the distance, and a lot of it. If this was a fight, they were making a mess of the city, but the spread of what appeared to be fire was too large for it to be caused by a fight. Somebody had set part of the city alight. [colour=SteelBlue]"That's not good..."[/colour] her gaze turned back to the figure, [colour=SteelBlue]"Is that why you're here? Great..."[/colour] a hand raised to run through her hair, turning back towards the Temple, [colour=SteelBlue]"Not even two days in and somebodies burning down the city, that's... fantastic, truly. Sorry, what is it you need?"[/colour] [center][@Red Alice][/center]
