[h3]A retreat. Leaving District V[/h3]
“Rider, you’ll give me an evaluation of all the information on the servant once we have escaped. I will commence rudimentary first aid and then we will disseminate the information before going forth again.”

So it’d be useless. The form and shape would at least be able to be fixed. His hand would not be lost, but nor would it be usable anytime soon, perhaps not even for the rest of the war. Then he will have to work not on healing his hand, but rather working on repairing the damage done to the puppet that was his shadow. Useless indeed, but he’d simply have to find ways to substitute for its functions. So he walked on, even as blood trailed down, disgusted not with the mangling, but rather what he had managed to achieved. Absolutely nothing.

“We will have to review how many scenes and acts are required before you defeat that servant. The question then becomes how we can buy that time without interference from the master. The worst case scenario may require a bait, a trap. But if a trap that could nullify or make light of her overwhelming… overwhelming for us humans, qualities, was something we could make use of or put into practice then it wouldn’t even become a matter of a battle between servants.”

Methods to win that did not use the trump cards of his servant, methods to win that…

No, perhaps it was a foe that they needed to invest in defeating. If not in using their noble phantasms…

“Surely she cannot be the sixth. There must be another master or two that would be weak enough to be unable to stand against her. I cannot deal with her, nor can any of my knowledge. But perhaps an alliance of sort may work. An easy way to get rid of an enemy, to have one servant defeat her, while the other fights her servant. What are your thoughts, Rider?...”

He paused suddenly, a surge going through his body. The constitution he wrestled with in his life flaring up again. “Hgh… It is better for us to linger a bit before we return to our base. There may be an attempt to follow or track us. I will take care of what may manage to elude your senses, although that might not be much. Meanwhile idle time is hardly something to celebrate. If we must wait for caution then you are free to do as you wish for now. Do you have anything you wish to get out of the way?”
