Curious, how very curious. Manipulation of the air in some method to catch the ball, hm? How interesting for… an Archer, it seemed. A bowman on the tops of buildings made sense, a good view and enough distance to take advantage of the purpose of ranged weaponry.

However, the Archer’s actions were… somewhat confusing. Undoubtedly, he would be able to recognize her as a Servant, and yet, he still reduced the range between her and him. Furthermore, to catch the ball and offer to return it--

Did he fancy himself some sort of [i]lady’s man[/i]? It wouldn’t be totally impossible, considering the attitudes of many a hero, to be completely honest, but it was rather unlikely someone would be so foolish to act in such a method during a battle royale to the death.

Ah, she should probably give an answer, should she not? To move closer would certainly give her the advantage, but the Archer’s unusual activities and confidence certainly implied the presence of… something else, which could certainly be a trap. And if he sent the ball down “the same way as she did,” then she would certainly gain some sort of information, which no matter how small, would be invaluable in this conflict. Keeping her hands near in a position where she could summon her weapons with ease, she spoke.

“My compliments on your fine skill with the bow, Archer!” Yoshitsune began. “I’d like the ball back, if you please! A friend lent it to me, so I’d much appreciate it!”
