Wait. New information coming in from her maid at the hotsprings? Hmm...wait, yes. And the network was sending her messages from familiars headed toward the cave area. Oh no. OH NO. She had to adjust her plans to this, right now. Maids and other homunculi were instantly called back, before they had even left the grounds proper of her new base. They were using materials that had been brought here, as well as magecraft, to form sudden fortifications. Sophia herself and the Lesser Grail were being fortified in their position at the center of this new "base". Familiars were in place, guards dogs put in place, and other advantages being leveraged to reinforce her position. 

All because she had no idea what these things could do. 

As for her servant-

[color=crimson][i]'Ilya, get back to my side this instant with all of your speed. Enemies inbound to my location. We have to stop them before we continue on, and i need you right next to me in case they attack me directly.'[/i][/color]

-she had messages him before too much ground would likely be covered to prevent his timely return. 

The first instant possible, with information in tow, Sophia had sent that message to her servant. She needed him back. NOW. Reinforce their position, deal with the enemy, then move on. Drat, she couldn't even get her husband to her location at this time probably. But if the Grail, yes the grail. She didn't know what was going on. It didn't have any souls in it so far, which was impossible by normal standards, and she didn't know if whatever had "awakened" and probably caused all in the city to feel its presence wanted it. For whatever reasons it could, she didn't know. 

Really, in regards to the Grail all she knew was that the Grail was important, and it was a strong habit around this time to keep at least the Lesser Grail safe with her at this time. Ugh. More than that she wanted Hideyoshi to remain alive, safe even, but at least that maid was there with the others. Yes, that would work nicely.

In reality the maid stopped the instant she had begun to get to the front door, before turning around and going back to Hideyoshi again promptly. It was odd, cold movement, sudden like a machine, and yet for this maid this was a normal as breathing air. Or rather, one could say it didn't care about how it looked as long as it happened. 

Then there was that other man who gave everyone sunglasses, and going along with her mistress' orders to "assist the masters" she had put on her pair of sunglasses too. In fact, with her calm expression, she looked really cool and kinda "badass" if she herself had any thoguhts about the matter. Wait, personal thoughts? She would have to report those to her mistress later, but if she had a grasp of her mistress' character then it wasn't perhaps a bad thing. Yes, that would be nice. 

[color=gold]"Master Hideyoshi, your wife is under attack. She is reinforcing her position now, rather than the prior announced plan. She says to tell you to 'be safe no matter what you super-baka....wait, don't you dare tell him that last part!', and that she will be fine until you arrive home again. End message,"[/color] the maid relayed to Hideyoshi, before walking off toward Gin and looking up at him, [color=gold]"I shall assist the best i can. My mistress wishes to tell you that you have her support as well once she is free of her own attackers."[/color]
