[b][i]Well one of them certainly seems to be enjoying themselves...[/i][/b] Hector thought as he looked on, stifling a little yawn that fought to escape from his mouth.  Although it seemed like he was lazing about he was actually quite good at looking closely at things like this.  He may not have been fighting either of the two servants personally but it allowed him somewhat of a second hand idea of what he would need to expect if he were to fight them.  Of course this was nothing more than a skirmish with neither side playing all their cards.  Honestly he would be surprised if it was anything other than that especially with the engagement being so out in the open.

[b][i]What't that now?[/i][/b]

His attention was ripped away from the fight between servants and to a newly approaching one.  Of course he had already sensed that this new arrival was drawing closer but a part of him hoped that they would be content with enjoying the show for at least a little while.  [b][i]Wellll welllll welll.  Looks like one was drawn in after all...[/i][/b]

He shot a lighthearted smile to the servant with the curious way of speaking.  [b]"Satisfaction eh?  Well this old man will certainly try. 
 Don't bully me too much now nyehehe."[/b] A friendly but slightly mischievous giggle to end his introduction seemed to fit well with the situation. 

[b][i]Quite a delicate looking sword there...[/i][/b] Hector thought eyeing the drawn rapier.  [b][i]Well I suppose they might appreciate it if I were to meet them in kind."[/i][/b]  And so Durandina Spade materialised within his hand once more as Hector carefully took a few steps back before entering a kind of exaggerated stance to gesture that he was ready.  [b][i]"Let's have fun with this now shall we, eh son?"[/i][/b] Hector definitely seemed cheery with his grin all throughout this.  Of course his movements were not only to signal his readiness for the challenge but also to leave space open for him to take his leave if that ever became necessary...

[b][i]"Aha yes, tonight is quite the wonderfu-"[/i][/b] Lucienne stopped herself mid sentence due to the sudden appearance of their visitors.

[b][i]"Hmmm, about time huh Marguerite?"[/i][/b] She spoke to her Servant calmly and coolly, it was a smooth and confident tone but not one devoid of caution.  Lucienne was a woman who had respect for her own abilities but also had a realistic view of them.  If she had to defend herself she did not doubt that she could perhaps hold off any master that she may come across for at least a brief period of time.  And if not then hopefully she had enough to at least cause a distraction to her pursuer, if only momentarily.

Her eyes fixated on the master who had approached them.  [b][i]"Caster, I trust you to deal with the enemy servant if it comes to it."[/i][/b]  She spoke to her servant with her mind this time rather than her tongue.

[b]"Slow down a bit now Monsieur, neither of us are in a rush here~."[/b]  She raised one hand to wave at the master opposing them while the other rested in her jacket pocket...  Conveniently taking grasp of some of her gems that she had prepared for events like these.

[b]"You are indeed correct to some extent Monsieur, in the end there can only be one victor...  Although that would be the case if this were your normal grail war!  There would seem to be two prizes here for us masters to fight for."[/b] And so Lucienne began her attempt at negotiations with the opposing master.  It couldn't hurt to try could it?

[b]"And of course there are plenty of more pairs than me and my servant here.  Do you not think it would be best if we were to work together, at least for a little while?  With two servants we could certainly learn more tonight than either of us could on our own Monsieur!"[/b]  And so there it was, the offer was placed out.  Of course part of her didn't expect this one to really pay much mind to diplomacy, they seemed rather gung-ho about the whole situation from the start.

With a click of her tongue Lucienne tells herself [b][i]Ah well... I am sure there are other, more reasonable masters even if this one isn't.[/i][/b]
