And Berserker hadn't been going slow. By the time Archer would have gotten into position, Berserker was well out of range. And continuing to chase would have done him nothing in terms of keeping up with the beast. Maybe it was just bad luck, or perhaps the fact that Berserker wasn't exactly taking a moonlight stroll that made their meeting unlikely, but he might as well consider himself lucky. The beast he was afraid of wasn't after him, yet. Or perhaps he was just so in love that he didn't notice or care about somebody trying to chase him. But, he did have one problem. Berserker had a fairy tree... BUT in his glee he had forgotten the most important part. A FAIRY! UGH! STUPID! But he didn't want to go back and hunt for one. If he took to long his love would worry, and that would be even worse! Whatever the case, Berserker ran through the city, avoiding any curious eyes. But... As he was running he noticed something strange. THERE WAS A FAIRY! [sub]Also a master, but that was like... Inconsequential.[/sub] Noon would probably feel the servant's presence before he saw, but Roland made that very clear when he leapt down from the roof of a building. His hulking size causing the pavement to crack at his feet, eyes narrowing upon Elaine, and almost completely ignoring Noon. [color=00a99d]"FAIRY! Get in the tree!"[/color] He demanded, presenting the tree he had plucked from the forest. Advanced dialogue wasn't in a Berserker's nature, but it might cause some trouble considering he was basically trying to kidnap somebody's familiar. [color=00a99d]"You're going to help me prove my love to my lovely love! And then I CAN SLAUGHTER THE ENEMIES OF MY LOVE!"[/color] ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/9h8Qy6S.png[/img] [u][b]Location / Bois de Boulogne[/b][/u] [@GreenGoat]-[@Seirei No Hai][@Floodtalon][/center] [i]"I'll accept your apology for now, however... the next time you do this. There will be no remorse and I will have to do a different kind of conquering."[/i] Chieko was naturally flabbergasted at this response. Her eyes wide, heart thumping like a drum, and her mind burning at the thought. It was like a million little Chieko's were running around her head, setting fire to several computers and trying to hide her hentai collection. [i]'She wants to do the lesbians!? How shameful! Come on Chieko, don't let her confuse you! Think straight thoughts! Men with buff chests! Nice suits! [b]BOOBS![/b] DAMNIT CHIEKO! WHAT DID WE JUST TALK ABOUT!?'[/i] Naturally this thought process wasn't readable, but the blood running down her nose was not very subtle either. But with a cough into her fist, she set herself back to a decent neutral. [color=00aeef]"Well, I will certainly keep that in mind. I'll have to save that for when we aren't out in the open. And certainly not in a shrine. Amaterasu will send Daji upon us for sure I did something so egregious."[/color] [i]"Chieko-san, why are you here? I'm sure you're aware, but this is a Holy Grail War. There is a very good chance you could die should you misstep. As a shinobi I walk with death every day, but you... you don't have to be here you know."[/i] [color=00aeef]"Asking for my life story already, huh?"[/color] Chieko said, grinning from ear to ear. [color=00aeef]"Oh lovely Nobukara-sama-desu-kun, I came here because I wanted to earn money for the temple. The holy grail war was just an excuse."[/color] She smiled, though on the inside she was panicking. [i]'Oh no! What if she pries? What if she learns the truth!?'[/i] Again, those thoughts were quieted. [color=00aeef]"In truth, I can be an ally, but..."[/color] There was a slight pause for dramatic effect. [color=00aeef]"Not for free. You see, my servant is Yojimbo. The manifestation of all masterless samurai of the Sengoku era. Wandering, seeking payment, and acting as my bodyguard for this war. And I am here to acquire funds for my temples repair and care. As such, we can fix your leg, and help you win this war without a hitch. You just gotta... Grease the wheels a little."[/color] She held out a hand, rubbing two fingers together in the universal sign of 'I am poor, please give me the money.' [color=00aeef]"We can discuss payment later though. This is rather out in the open, and I'm sure there is a master and servant around who are a lot less reasonable than you."[/color] With luck, she hadn't pushed too hard, and now she and her ally could set up and maybe work together? Or maybe she'll get shot for asking for money from a warlord.
