It felt incredibly light despite the considerable amount that had been packed into it. He had been silent for the rest of the journey to the Einzbern manor. Perhaps it was more apt to call it a holiday home, a resort used to comfort the representative of the family as their servant partook in the Holy Grail War. Far out of the way there must have been little worry of an assault on this almost fortress like place. The natural defences of the forest alone may have been enough to deter potential enemies. Perhaps he felt a little anger at the Einzbern family, perhaps it was envy of the position that they had. But that was useless. It was all useless. A manor would do no good for him now. He had tried being passive and it had brought him ruin. That time was over, indeed. There would be no more tragedy, no more ruin. It was time for the Tohsaka head to gather his spirit and take to the field. For a moment the life had left his eyes, for a moment he had felt despair for all that was lost. But the fire had been rekindled, not by any outside factor. But by his own will. [b][color=darkred]"Thank you. All of you."[/color][/b] Hideyoshi spoke to not only Rider who was making his leave but to his own servant and his old master Before them were two of the Einzbern maids, standing dutifuly by the entrance of the manor. Hideyoshi stepped forward from the party and respectfully bowed towards the maids. [b][color=darkred]"I am the representative of the Tohsaka family for this Grail War. You may call me Hideyoshi. I would be very grateful if you would lead me to the representative of the Einzbern family."[/color][/b] After briefly introducing himself he followed the Einzbern maids inside of the manor, along with those who had followed. Much that he knew about the Einzberns had come from his grandfather, he was familiar with their magic only by hearing about it. The same could be said for their history. This was a rather unfortunate case, for the Three Families had been so closely tied. Yet a falling our had made strangers out of colleagues. But of course he had travelled here to change that. There was no need for the Three Families to be at odds. Hideyoshi respectfully followed the maids until they had reached their destination, where two more were standing at either side of a door. The maids that he had followed here made their way back to the entrance as Hideyoshi entered through the door on front of him to meet with the representative of the Einzbern family. Immediately he could recognise the effort that had been spent on making a positive and friendly impression. The tea with snacks, the comfortable furniture and even how the room.was arranged. Upon entering it was only fit that he first delivered a courteous bow to the Einzbern master along with a [color=darkred]"Thank You.[/color] Perhaps if he had cane here earlier he would have been able to proudly display a warm and confident smile to his potential ally. But his faced had been forced into a stoic expression. If any expression were to rise above that surface it would be a rage filled sadness. But still he continued the best he could. [b][color=darkred]"I must apologise that it has taken me so long. The Grail War has taken such sharp turns in such short time... But it is a pleasure to finally meet you Lady Einzbern. I hope that together we may be able to settle this chaotic mess."[/color][/b] Hideyoshi peacefully walked towards a seat near the Einzbern master. There was no hostility to be found in his movement. Nor in his thoughts. He hoped that this would prove to be a strong and natural alliance. He put his trust in the Einzbern master, believing that she would not betray him despite the fact he did not know her nature.
