The wind whipped past them, she barely even heard what he asked as they moved to their destination. [color=c4df9b]"What did the small bird tell you, Master? Is the enemy to be this way?"[/color] The wind rushed through her hair as he asked this, Elizabeth shaking her head in the negative as she looked to the distance. [color=gold]"No, we're going here to gather information about the battle ground and anyone we may have to fight. Hopefully we can gain some allies as well, while I trust in your strength completely it never hurts to have someone at your side during a war."[/color] She suppressed a grimace at the idea of working with these idiots, there was no way she could ever trust anyone here to watch her back. Silence reigned for a few minutes before something Berserker said clicked with her. [color=gold]"Oh yes, that's right. My name is Elizabeth Aesworth. Feel free to call me whatever pleases you."[/color] [hr] They landed at the hotsprings not too long after, the first thing she was greeted by was a man collecting pizzas from many birds. She ignored him and turned to Berserker who had set her down by now, a serious look on her face as she began to speak. [color=gold]"Now then. Supposedly this is a meeting between several different Masters and Servants, meaning we need to be on guard at all times. I'm trusting you to protect me Saber."[/color] Elizabeth proceeded to turn to the door and was greeted by yet another penguin. The penguin asked for her proof that she was a Master, she flashed her Command Seals and was let in rather quickly. She was also warned that she was slightly late, so she would need to hurry to the meeting room quickly. Finding the room was quite simple, but she hesitated before opening the door. A few different female voices spoke, however they were too muffled to hear clearly. She waited for a pause in the conversation to occur before entering, no need to interrupt someone mid speech and draw an unnecessary amount of attention to herself. Her patience was rewarded as the conversation paused, giving her the opportunity she needed to enter the room. She tried to bring as little attention to herself as possible as she sat down, listening to the man identified as Xerxes Kaveh introduce himself. She made no reaction to his claim that he was a representative from the Mage's Association, nor did she react to the paper that was passed down to her and the rest of the table. [color=fff79a]"You see, I propose a scapegoat of short. I have been able to confirm through my research that several of the parties that left the war may have been involved in the spreading of the fire. This will place a deal of the mage associations attention on these individuals. If they are innocent, that will be proven in court. But, their leaving the war, possibly with their servants, puts a great deal of risk on people outside of Fuyuki. That cannot be ignored. The mage association will make sure to deal with that, and it will buy us extra time to determine exactly who started the fire, and then who applied the curses to it."[/color] No reaction, not even a blink as he continued talking. Another paper was passed about, this one a photo of a young man who had grown some sort of tree, obviously a very dangerous one if it had gathered this much attention. A druid possibly? Regardless, she did not interject to ask for clarification. She simply continued to listen and wait for more information to be presented. It was the entire reason she had been sent here after all, evaluate the current status of the ritual that has killed thousands. She did note how the man who had been gathering boxes outside was standing next to Xerxes, she also noted the minor twitch when he mentioned the Oni. Xerxes proposed many rules, all of which sounded perfectly sensible. The fact that they hadn't been implemented at the beginning of the war was all the proof she needed to decide that this ritual had been run by complete and utter morons. He continued on to bring up the matter of organizing task forces to deal with a red haired Servant and investigate the forest, but even when he finished she still said nothing. She simply continued to wait and see, wait and see what important info would be given. She could introduce herself at the end of the meeting, once all relevant info was out of the way. There was no need to raise tensions in the middle of an already tense meeting. So instead, Elizabeth neatly folded her hands on top of the table, and waited quietly for the next person to speak.
