For the first time, Lancer was able to observe the building up close. It was an impressive piece of construction, especially when one considered the short time involved. As she understood it, the group of familiars her Master had sent to this place a few hours earlier had already dispersed, and they were to arrive in person to meet properly with the other parties in the war.

Scáthach held open the door as Reiki made her way inside. Her Master had chosen to wear a vibrant blue evening dress. Lancer followed immediately after, with a case of beer under one arm. She had been coerced into also wearing a fine dress for the evening. Reiki had described it as "fit for a queen", but she had no doubt been referring to a sort of queen with duties quite different from those of Lancer.

She offered no particular acknowledgement to anyone in the room, save for the blood-soaked man with the head of a horse. Her eyes lingered there. She had been made aware of his efforts. Admirable.

And yet, [b]he[/b] was missing. That man was not something that could fully be appreciated through a karmic link, and so she would watch him carefully when he appeared.

Reiki, meanwhile was clearly focused on a number of individuals at once. Perfectly sensible, as she had no doubt observed each person here in much more detail than Lancer could hope to.

[b][color=9e0039]"This is a rather unsatisfying turnout so far, but I imagine most of the pairs will arrive in time. Meanwhile, are we going to hold our discussions crammed around some table, or are we going to enjoy the actual hot spring?"[/color][/b]
