These Assassins were getting pretty creepy. 

The way they moved and responded to attacks marked them as something inhuman. Even his dazzling swordplay barely seemed to phase them. Most likely they were mindless. Or perhaps they were living as if they were already dead. Saber didn’t understand that philosophy one bit. It was the opposite of his own, living each moment down to the last microsecond, before even considering death, or what comes after.

He cut his ineffective volley short, leaping again as the Assassins threw knives at him. A few slashed at his clothes, scratching at him. “Tch,” he scoffed. Hopefully, they weren’t poisoned. 

Saber was already moving as the shot rang out. The Assassin’s mask slipped to the floor, revealing something deeply inhuman. It didn’t bother him as it would a normal human. Rather, he was simply looking towards the abomination, evaluating its physique, its abilities, and how they might be used. 

“Heh. If they had more suckers and less spikes, I’d give it a try…” Don Juan muttered. “Better take this seriously.” He landed, several paces back from the unmasked Asssassin.

[i]On it.[/i] Don Juan curtly signalled back. Whoever had shot his foe… Well, enemy of my enemy and all that. And with that shot, his new mysterious ally had given away their position. He took a second to trace the path that the bullet had taken, but it was hard to be exact. To prevent any more daggers hitting, he gave another burst of movement, twirling his sword in protection as he ran towards the direction of the bullet. 

“Oi, gunner!” Saber announced, voice booming. “Since I doubt these guys can understand us, why don’t you show yourself. You’ll be safer with me - we’ve got a plan.”

With that proposition made, he focussed on defence, keeping his sword ready and his enemies in view, as he waited for a response. The Assassins were a dud, so hopefully this sniper was hot.
