[center]Six Coins Rider[/center] River Seine [@ManyThings] [hr] Rider's seemingly relaxed state suddenly changed as Saber rushed towards him. Unexpectedly, he jammed his spear into the ground and used the shaft to pull himself out of the way and along it counter clockwise, dodging the sword that ran parallel to the spear's shaft as Rider slammed his right foot towards Saber's left side. A connecting hit would be followed by pulling the blade free and upwards towards Saber, Rider holding it near the blade. A failure to connect would be followed by using his momentum to pull the spear free and get behind him, regaining a defensive stance. [hr] [center]Wynter Lobos[/center] Business District [hr] Archer's words resonated with Wynter and made her pause, thinking back to her family. With how her father had relegated her to simply being a resource, only caring about her memory and having an extra set of hands rather than raising his daughter, and how he and her brother had abandoned her, she found it surprising that she wanted to win for their sake. It seemed like the natural course of action to try to win, and just as natural to use the wish and land to get back in their good graces, but why? Why should she care about them when she could, as Archer put it, 'live free'? Without perhaps meaning to, Archer had lit a fire twice now withing her, both times changing her outlook on things she had previously felt were out of her control. As she was dragged out of the store, not noticing even that Archer had stolen the hats, she decided on a course of action. [color=00aeef]"I think... it's enough to know that there might be another group's base in this area, assuming they aren't out and away from it. Since it's getting closer to daytime, we should probably head back for the night and get some practice and sleep in, then tomorrow night we can search for other Servants and see what we can learn about them."[/color] She hesitated before continuing. [color=00aeef]"Truth be told, I'm hoping for an alliance with at least one other Master who's more knowledgeable so I can learn from them, hopefully until the final night. Or maybe even an alliance where we split the victory; I'm doubtful that I can lead you to winning this war by myself, but I'll do my best if it comes to that."[/color] She bowed slightly and smiled at Archer. [color=00aeef]"Thank you. You're really good at helping me clear my mind." [/color]
