Just as Lancer had directed, Astrid remained quiet as she knelt by, concealing her presence as best she could as she watched the battle come to a close. There was an ample amount of information gained from simply waiting around, which was a blessing of fortune in and of itself, but it seemed that things wouldn't simply end like that.

[i]"I understand, Lancer. I still believe I can hold my own should it be necessary, though,"[/i] she replied as she watched her Servant materialize in front of her. There was a small tinge of doubt in Astrid's heart about whether or not the Lancer could handle both of the enemies at once if they were to team up and strike, but for now she would quash that doubt and remain on standby.

If worst came to worst, she could attempt to intercept the man and leave the female Servant to Lancer, but even that was pushing matters a bit too far...

The grey-haired Archer let out a slight laugh as his Master seemed to hesitate about his choice of words, but continued to pace onward regardless of that fact.

"Naive of you to think that I would simply allow us to be tracked so easily. Even that damned detective took ages to figure out my identity; how long do you think it would take those simpletons, even with my name so open? The key, my Master, is to simply [i]never be caught[/i]. Though it is far from my ideal scenario, something as simple as manipulating the uneducated to gather information for us would not even be considered as something worth noting. After all, if they are caught, it falls to our enemies to dispose of them. We need not even contact them directly, you know?"

With that said, however, the old man slowed down for a moment before thinking about the current location of the Grail War.

"Mmm... That being said, though, Master, how fares organized crime in a place such as this? Unlike London, this is a small town in the middle of America. I saw no location suitable for street rats or the homeless on our flight over, so would it be correct to assume that no such criminal element exists? That would be quite a shame..."
