I just kinda saw the chance to get the jump on them and went with it,"[/color][/i] Alex said over her mental bond to Emon, answering his rightfully concerned inquiry in a way that was perhaps too relaxed for this situation. [i][color=steelblue]"Anyway, yeah, it would be better if you deployed your talents in the way you know best. Just take with this guy's familiars, we never know what they may be able to do. Even though I have a nagging feeling that he's an amateur in just about everything other than making them,"[/color][/i] she continued, while taking the time to analyze the second familiar in front of her.

After taking a moment to consider the answer she got from it, Alex rested her free hand on her hips and said while raising the chained familiar, [color=steelblue]"Y'know... I threatened to shoot you if you [i]didn't[/i] come down. You mustn't be very popular with girls  if you can't understand when they want some company."[/color]

[color=steelblue]"Anyway, you can have this back. I wasn't even thinking about keeping it, in the first place. I didn't even pluck a feather out of it. Consider it an offering of good will,"[/color] she said as she laid the creature over a counter and snapped her fingers. In truth, she just needed to touch the chains and run some magical energy through them, but the snap was to disguise a tracking spell that she placed on the familiar's back.

Alex didn't have hopes of using it to successfully track this mage. After all, anyone with half a brain would destroy a potentially compromised familiar. But that was actually a double plan. It was best to let him think that she was trying to use the familiar against him, so she made the  otherwise they might suspect that Assassin would follow them.

[color=steelblue]"Anyway, a smart girl knows when she's not wanted. In other words... See ya, Bird Boy. I hope we can talk face to face next time,"[/color] Alex said before going back through the front of the building, to not allow them any chance to guess who was her Servant. Once she was out of the building, she rushed her way to the main streets, to take another taxi back home, after informing Assassin of her whereabouts.
