But as soon as the belly rubs ended, the feline faded away. Dark fur rolling into a soft skin, with a blue tinge around the ears. The massive jungle cat rose to his feet, revealing the face of Caster, having transformed himself into the large creature earlier. There was a flick of the tail as it began to curl back into Caster's body, and whiskers receded back into his face. The feline form vanished, and Manco raised up a hand, helping his summoner to his feet along with the strange woman. He didn't fully trust her yet, but the fact that she acted passively suggested she wasn't here to cause a fight. But they should be cautious. [color=7bcdc8]"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for the strange method of introduction, but I am Caster."[/color] The servant said, a smile on his lips. Layering on the friendly aura. It helped that he had [i]Negotiation B[/i] as a skill, easily making the situation a lot more amicable. [color=7bcdc8]"We did notify proper authorities, and all the documentation of our visit is in state hands. In all honesty, our goal is to provide protection for the people of Boston during this war. If you are invested in protecting the lives of innocents, then throwing your hat in with my summoner and I would give you the best means to do so."[/color] He bowed just a bit, but his guard never lowered. [color=7bcdc8]"We are bringers of peace, not war. Men who dedicate our lives to punishing the wicked. You are the same."[/color] With that said, Caster hoped an understanding could be made. After all, it would be a shame to have to detain somebody on the premises for the period of the war. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [u][b]HAPSBURG RUINS![/b][/u] The eyes of a crow. How... Valuable. Caster's web was massive. Caster's knowledge of the city was perfect. After all, he possessed [i]Navigation A[/i] and [i]Map-Making B[/i] as skills. Naturally he had already found the manor well before the attack upon it. The attack only made it more obvious to the eyes of the many familiars that lurked around the city. One such crow among others had settled on a part of the ruins, overlooking both Rider and her master. He spied the vehicle they came in on, and they guard who's life they spared. Even if it was for personal gain, Caster knew they weren't bad people. Already the odd raccoon was rummaging through the building, searching for anything of value. Animals were so easily ignored. They could squeeze into places humans could not. At best they might pilfer the smaller things, before Archer got his hands on the real prizes. The crow fluttered in closer, landing on a clock, and watching as the golden archer returned. It was clear that this was the Archer class servant. A man with many gifts and blessings bestowed upon him. That much was clear. Furthermore, this was the servant of the Hapsburgs no doubt, but the crow did not speak, nor did he do anything to give himself away. After all, there was another servant here. Let Archer have them. The crow had his other things in mind. Even if the Hapsburg's magecraft was well beyond his own, some of it might have value.
