Yes! He had managed to summon one!

[quote][color=crimson]"Umu!"[/color][/quote]
...What did that mean?

By all accounts, a really gorgeous lady had appeared. A former boss of Rome, apparently. Did the Romans fight skeletons? If there was even a chance, he had to warn her not to-

[quote][color=crimson]"You may praise me now."[/color][/quote]
Was it supposed to be like this? Andrei had gotten the impression that having a Servant was meant to be more like "I will do as you command, Master." A working relationship that didn't involve some ancient dead lady rubbing up against you.

This was perfect for him, then. It would've been dull if his situation had been the same as everyone else's. While all those losers were stuck being "Masters," Andrei would be a "Maestro." He liked the sound of it, for now. Plus, if he really needed to boss someone around, there was always that skeleton guy.

On the subject of praising the Emperor...

[color=816dad]"Uh, nice entrance."[/color]

That ought to do it.

[color=816dad]"But yeah, I'm Andrei Ozhidani. Your Maestro, I guess. Do I call you Nero, or am I supposed to go by your class container?"[/color] He made to pull back and offer a handshake, but if Nero decided to keep him in her grasp there wasn't much he could do. [color=816dad]" Welcome to my flying saucer! In this war we have the extremely cool benefit of a mobile base, so make yourself at home!"[/color]

He looked squarely in Nero's eyes. She was weird, but that was fine. Good, even. Meanwhile, the smell of paint definitely seemed to be clearing out along with the last remains of the summoning fog. Using his newly gained Master's clairvoyance, he could see that she was a high-quality Servant whose abilities would work well with what he had.

[color=816dad]"I don't know if you had any plans in mind when you appeared, but there are a few important things to take care of. First you'll have to meet my right hand man. He looks like, but is not actually, a skeleton. The other thing is a real dilemma. See, we all need winter clothes, but since none of us have winter clothes yet we can't go outside to get them."[/color]

He looked Nero up and down. What she was wearing looked kind of warm, but it was no jacket. [color=816dad]"If you're good with braving the elements to buy a coat or two, I'll give you some cash. Or maybe you have another plan?"[/color]
