[centre][h2][color=royalblue] Tsumugi Matou [/color][/h2][/centre]
[centre][h3]Matou Manor, Foreigner's District[/h3][/centre]

Just like any other morning, there was silence in the Matou home.

In the dining room there was a setting of a low but comfortable light, the only source were a few of the candles from the two table pieces which allowed the room to be easily seen but would not offend sensitive eyes.  The room was perfectly clean, everything was ordinary, the chairs were tucked in underneath the well made dining table.  There was a couple of bowls set out on the table, with some spoons set aside for them.  Despite this for now there was only one person in the manor.  Obviously that person did not expect to be alone for long.

Tsumugi was in the dining room, pondering about what to have for breakfast (ignoring the fact she should be at school right now).  More specifically what cereal to have for breakfast.  Or maybe just some slices of toast?  Despite all of the equipment and presumably free time at hand Tsumugi had never been particularly keen on learning to cook, of course there was times here and there where she got a bit adventurous and whip out a recipe book but for the most part premade meals and the such were the main bulk of her diet.  There was also times where she would go out for a meal although that was mostly if her friends asked her to or if there was something in particular that was being celebrated.

She stretched out her arms feeling the stiffness from her nights sleep slowly be wrung away.  [color=royalblue][i]I must have been lying awkwardly again... I really ought to work on that huh?[/i][/color]

Slowly her fingertips drummed against the kitchen counter making a quiet but relieving rhythm, there was almost a cathartic feeling to hearing that quiet sound.  [color=royalblue][i]Hmm that will do for today-[/i][/color] She thought as he picked up a box of cereal at random.

With a calm smile on her face she peacefully closed the cupboard door, now turning she made her way out of the kitchen.  The morning light managed to break its way into the manor through the kitchen windows, something that Tsumugi appreciated very much.  Despite the manor having a fair amount of windows there was a sense of darkness about the place, now that was not a negative thing per se in her mind, if anything it was helpful for her 'work'.  But there was still a nice feeling that came with the sunlight.  [color=royalblue][i]Well there was that time over the summer where I was vitamin D deficient...[/i][/color]  On that thought, that probably wasn't the only time...

The once empty kitchen was now filled with the singular inhabitant.  Well singular for now.  Her family had left for either London or the States, and another well she wasn't quite sure where he was right now but he hadn't been at the manor for a while anyway.  But anyway, Tsumugi placed the box of cereal on the table and quickly returned to the kitchen to retrieve the milk from the fridge which she definitely hadn't forgotten among her idle thoughts.  First she poured the cereal into her bowl and then the milk, the correct way of course, before taking her seat.  Her seat was not at what one would consider the head, or the opposite end, or even the middle.  Depending on the day she would sit closer to the head of the table or further away from it.  Today was one of the days she sat closer to it.

Tsumugi enjoyed her cereal in a peaceful silence.  The morning had been enjoyable so far, she had woken up at around 7, gotten showered, gotten dressed for the day, and then she came downstairs and picked out her cereal.  Perfect so far.  More than made up for that troubled sleep and nasty dream.  Nightmares were nothing to worry about though, that kind of thing happens to everyone.

Once the bowl of cereal was done with she took her now empty bowl into the kitchen and gave it a wash, then a dry, then put its back into a cupboard.  Afterwards she returned to the dining room and retrieved the empty bowls and spoons that were set at the table, also putting them back with the bowl in the cupboard and a drawer for the spoons.

[color=royalblue][i]Alright then...  I suppose now is as good as ever![/i][/color] She thought to herself optimistically.

Time for what?  Well the summoning of course.  After all how else is one supposed to get their hands on that grail if they do not have a servant!  With a confidence and hint of excitement she strolled out of the dining room and into one of the hallways of the Matou Manor.  Walking down the hallway she really took in her surroundings, she was prepared for anything to come and although there was a chance for things to go wrong in all of this.  That did not seem to really bother Tsumugi.  Turning into another hallway she continued her walk to her destination.  A very particular place that led to a very particular room underneath the manor.

As the entrance was carefully opened up the already dull light from the hallways shined into the deep and dark room that she was now entering.  It did not take long for her eyes to adjust to the room as she descended the steps to the bottom.  This underground facility was not unfamiliar to her, and in the middle of the floor at the bottom was the summoning circle that she had prepared the night before.  Tsumugi continued walking until she found herself standing before the summoning circle itself.

Momentarily an unprovoked pause.  Was it hesitation?  Probably not.  For a moment she was at a loss for words but then again she hadn't uttered a single word since she woke up.  Weird...  That aside she was ready, there had been some reading done for an incantation but well, even then recital's weren't exactly her strong suit.  Singing in the shower was one thing...  Reaching out for a being like a servant was another.  At least she was alone for both.

She started.

[color=royalblue][b]
"Silver and steel be the essence.
Let the stones and the archduke be the foundation.
Come forth now to serve me faithfully.
And in return I too shall treat you in kind.
Together let us swear to retrieve the holy grail.
To fulfill your wish whatever it may be.!
Most importantly let's do what we want to while we can!
So come forth hero!  Let's count on each other from here on out!"

That was good enough?  Right...?  For some reason she felt a bit embarrassed.  Well, no do overs huh?  Ok then let's try to move past this.  Or so the young master hoped.
