Strange.....very strange.

The term was the most appropriate to describe Fran's situation and it truly was. For one thing, she wasn't formally summoned through the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual, standing in either a lavish chamber or a secluded workshop of a Magus. No, instead she came into being in the back of a, as she learned, car of her current Master, Ismael. The shocked expression the man had then told her that he was just as blindsided by these events as she was. In fact, surprise also showed something else about him. Hell, she felt it through the recently established Master-Servant connection they now had and it filled her with heaps of concern.

Ismael, with absolutely no doubt, was [b]NOT[/b] a Magus.

This revelation brought a whole slew of questions. How did this happen? WHY did this happen? How was she able to be summoned by, not a mage, but a [b]normal[/b] person with completely no talent or knowledge of magecraft? That shouldn't even be possible. This was turning out to be more out of the ordinary than the last Grail War she was summoned to.....if what was happening right now was a Grail War to begin with. Suffice to say, this put Ismael's safety as top priority. Fran felt certain that her Master didn't even know the full implications of what it means to have those Command Seals on his hand. And it's not like Fran herself can explain everything to him, as she wasn't that....outspoken.

All that aside though, Ismael was turning out to be a rather considerate and jolly gentleman of a Master, if these last two days were telling her anything. She couldn't remember the last time she giggled this much, let alone enjoying the company. So while the entire situation did turn out to be really weird, it wasn't all that bad.

However, reality returned to the forefront when, as they were making their way back toward Ismael's car, the Berserker spotted the fleeing form of a bird-like familiar, a note placed on the car door handle. With a wary grumble, Fran scanned her surroundings, trying to pick up on any nearby Servants as her Master retrieved and read the note.
