By the time 1700 rolled around, the brunt of the soreness Reggie's body felt earlier in the day had left him as he and Medusa entered Assembly Hall 11, much to his relief. The ache was still there, just not as debilitating. Some had arrived early, such as the spirit seer Cordelia and the quiet miracle Michel, their Servants by their side as well. Soon, the rest came as well. Cassandra with Archer, Chabi with Saber and Katerina with Caster had answered the call as well. The six members of Team Theta were present....

....[i]when there should be seven in total.[/i]

[color=00aeef][i]Where's Assassin and their Master?[/i][/color], Reggie thought to himself.....and his Rider.

[color=a187be][i]I'm....not sure.[/i][/color], answered Medusa, exiting her spirit form. [color=a187be][i]I would think that Assassin is using Presence Concealment, but that still leaves the whereabouts of their Master in question. Besides the six of us, I didn't see anyone else coming towards this Hall on the way here.[/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Hmmmm.... [/i][/color]

Shelving that question for later, Reggie and others went to take their seat at the dining table, with him sitting in the Rider seat near Da Vinci. Medusa stood dutifully next to him......to which her Master gave a sigh.

[color=00aeef]"Come on, Rider. You know I don't like it when you do that. Sit on the arm of the chair if you have to, I'm not gonna sit here while you remain standing."[/color], Reggie spoke with a good-natured smirk. The Gorgon seductress flinched before a slight blush appeared on her blindfolded face. After a second of hesitation, Medusa made her comfortable on the arm of his chair, to which her Master gave a satisfied nod.

The young man did, indeed, notice the wolf girl snacking on cake at the podium, but refrained from making a comment. No doubt her presence will be brought up in this assembly.

He also noted how the Director's eyes had a certain.... gloominess to them. It was....somewhat telling, to say the least.

[quote]“Ahem...” Ritsuka cleared her throat, as she stood, “Welcome, Team Theta, to your last supper. Before we begin, please, eat. Da Vinci-chan went through quit the lengths to have your favourite dishes discovered and prepares,”[/quote]

[color=00aeef][i].....[/i][/color]

[color=a187be][i].....Well, that's certainly one way to break the ice.[/i][/color]

Medusa made that statement internally, within her mind. Reggie, on the other hand....

[color=00aeef]"Director, with all due respect, who the hell starts a meeting like that? We just sat down."[/color], he queried, slightly bewildered.
