As soon as Talia and Rider got close to the gates, rambunctious canines rowdily bayed their cries into the air. A flash of surprise and confusion flashed across her face before once again settling down into it's usual noble scowl. 

A strange precaution for a magus, but not so unsurprising. The world abhors fantasy, it would be the height of folly to waste mystery. Still, for them to exercise such caution even now, it would seem there is still much more for Talia to learn from such an august family.

[color=turquoise]"A warning, or perhaps a simple precaution."[/color] Talia muttered to herself.

[color=turquoise]"Tell me Rider, what do you feel about such a thing?"[/color]

It was a curious scene before him. Such a person calling out into the empty air for salvation, prostrating themselves before him. Inside, Gunnar's feelings stirred uncomfortably, unsure of what to do.

Nervously, he laughed.

[color=gold]"I can see that,"[/color] he responded, [color=gold]"But I think it would be more appropriate for me to say such a thing then something someone so beautiful in front of me."[/color]

And indeed, though Lancer himself was no stranger to beauty, he could not help but call his master a beauty as well. That wallflower attitude however was something he would have to be wary of. There would be many unsavory creatures who would undoubtedly try to take advantage of such a pure-hearted being. 

It would not do for someone to do so. 

[color=gold]"As for what to do Master? Well, to be truthful with you, I'm probably not the best for going out and fighting, but in terms of protection, I'm a real pro!"[/color]

Flashes of a bloody defense arrived unbidden in his mind, of a home slowly destroyed as he slayed dishonorable curs, and for a single moment his smile seemed more melancholic than it did joyful.

Still, such a thing did not sully his mood for long, as he held out his hand to his Master.

[color=gold]"So why don't we go decide together? With our powers combined, I'm sure we could take on the entire world if we had to."[/color]
