[center][color=DC143C][h1][b]Berserker[/b][/h1][/color][/center] The reaction of Berserkers master was less than stellar. Rather than indulging in such an excellent meal, and was simply playing around with his food. Moping about like this wouldn't do anything for either of them. There was a pretty grave difference between getting depressed about something, and being rustled up. Berserker preferred the later for a multitude of reasons. Her expression became far more neutral in response to his now negative mood. A very minor frown formed on her face, though it truly was not significant. It wasn't like Berserker was dissapointed in her Master. However, sometimes both a praise and rebuke were necessary at the same time. Her Masters reaction may have been disappointing, but that quickly changed. Maurius' depression began to evaporate before her very eyes. Her Masters words became increasingly bold and spirited. As if synchronized, her expression became steadily more pleased and poised in tandem. Whatever temporary ill mood had existed was certainly dispelled. Berserker closed her eyes, and then- [color=DC143C]"Well said, Master."[/color] There was both amusement and a more than positive appraisal contained within those words. It was a simple response, but more than genuine. With reflexes and speed befitting a Servant, the blonde woman stood up from her chair in a flash. It was a more than excitable thing to do, and it completely contrasted how she was acting previously. Not content to simply talk across the table, Berserker leaned forward as far as she possibly could. Berserkers gaze seemed to bore through her Master, and it was as if his heart was laid out bare for survey. Thankfully, it seemed that his partner had not judged him wanting. The mad-servants next words were full of genuine fire and passion. She seemed more than pumped up about her Masters earnest response, no matter his previous lethargy. [color=DC143C]"Indeed! A charged commander is quite the boon. You have blessed me twice now, Master."[/color] Berserker stopped leaning over the table. There was quite the smirk on her face, and she radiated self assurance. [color=DC143C]"As long as you understand that victory is most important, then it will be trivial to conduct you toward it. Our opponents are too feeble to stand against me at any rate. We can only hope that their exits will make this war interesting for the both of us."[/color]
