A caster could not vanish in the same way a ninja could. In fact, it was clear from the way the wind moved that she was bending light with it. He had seen such a trick many times, and had utilized similar methods in his own noble phantasm. Still, the differences in level were notable even for him. Caster had not looked to fill the appearance of a master mage. Were it not for the single-minded focus of his spying and analysis, he might have missed it. The slight adjustment in breath, or the sounds of footsteps moving away. But he didn't follow. Caster would be difficult to chase. He would also put himself too far from his master. Who as he turned his attention to others... Realized she had run off to interact with another master. That... Wasn't good. Or to be more exact, reckless considering they weren't sure of the other master's abilities yet. Much less threatening one. One which was Master of Berserker. [i][color=8882be]"Well, you could have told me..."[/color][/i] He broadcasted at his master, but he didn't blame her. This clearly wasn't the partnership she had wanted. Perhaps she really would have enjoyed a saber more. He raised a hand to his nose, forming a seal, and letting his breath roll out. His breath burst out, and a thin mist began to form. One he vanished into. His form fading as the air warped his presence, and he was gone from the world, moving towards his master. [i][color=8882be]"Either way, you just poked the Master of that monstrous man outside. If he calls his servant, I am not going to be able to defeat him for you."[/color][/i] Did he have to be so negative? What a show this was turning out to be. Already there had been a fight, and possibly two interruptions. If he hadn't been forced to move towards his master's location, he might have hunted down Saber's master during their retreat.

But even he realized that he was having to put far more effort into maintaining his Rider than he had planned for. His many magic circuits were all active, and while he wasn't wriggling like a cockroach, the damage sustained and all other matters like distance were putting him through the wringer. He'd have to start figuring out a way to ease the magical stress, be it from Rider's constant attack effort, or the use of multiple noble phantasms at once. [i][color=6ecff6]"Rider, return home. You've done enough for the night. If you still wish to fight though, I'd hate to have to resort to a command seal to heal you, but considering your injuries, it might be the only way."[/color][/i] If he was in a position to laugh through the pain, he might have. Only he had the luck to summon a hero as reckless as Rider. Maybe he should request for Rider to drink a healing drought when they got home, so that the healing cost might be mitigated. His fingers clutched his staff, and focused what he could on providing more magical energy for his servant. Hopefully enough for a quick run-away if it and mostly likely will be required. --------------------------------------------------------------- [color=7ea7d8]"Do not fret, Rider. You did splendid."[/color] Snegurochka said, as if it was obvious. Before the fight had even begun, she had made sure to move away from the fight. Now standing on the roof of a nearby building, to watch Rider's work more directly. [color=7ea7d8]"Your accomplishment tonight had made it clear that you are indeed the greatest hero in this war. One who's own strength has managed to knock aside the power of another servant with such ease."[/color] She reached out a hand, as if allowing Rider to take it. [color=7ea7d8]"We should go now though. Lancer may not be down for long, and my Moroz may want to talk to you about the similar name of your... Punch. He might very well need to learn more about your life, for research, and to correct the history books."[/color]
