Stelle didn't even blink while the ritual took shape and activated before her eyes. Letting this information escape would be a waste of once-in-a-lifetime resources, which she wasn't very keen on doing.

The lack of anything, standing on the summoning circle didn't distress her when she could very well feel the connection to her Servant through the Command Seals burned on the back of her hand. The idea that it might have left as soon as it was summoned didn't escape Stelle's mind. However, before she tried to contact her Servant, it decided to make himself known with a whisper.

"A man of theatrics, as expected," Stelle said, letting out a puff of smoke from her pipe. "It's a pleasure meeting you, Assassin. I hope you are willing to lend me your strength," she said without turning around to face her Servant.

A moment later, a certain Flower Mage's declaration would reach both of them, being carried by the wind blowing through an open window. "Excellent. I take it that you heard the message as well, Assassin? In that case, why don't you begin your work by spying at who'll answer that challenge?"

"I'll leave the specifics of how to proceed to you. Meanwhile, I will search for a more suitable place to set a permanent workshop," Stelle said before leaving the room, carrying a single suitcase containing one of her completed familiars.
