[h3]Rider - Marko[/h3]

“Oho?” Rider sat up, his lazy attitude fading as he looked forward at the Servant approaching with arms held wide. “I’ll grant you child, but are Masons known for tossing around their stonework where you come from?” He asked. “No, no, I’m nothing but a humble farmer." He chuckled to himself as he said it.

For a moment, it looked as though he would respond to the provocations, to leap down from the sheep and jump into melee-

“Are you really that dense? He’s obviously baiting you.” The fairy huffed, folding her arms dramatically. 

“Thought you said you weren’t gonna help out with this one, sis,” Rider grinned, leaning back again. Somehow, another rock had found its way to his hand, and he tossed it again, catching it first underhand, then overhand.

“I said you shouldn’t need my advice, but if you’re so intent on proving me wrong, it can hardly be helped.”

Rider sighed and shrugged. “It’s quite the pickle, don’t you think, Mr. Bronze? Of course, I have my pride as a man, but my dear sister here will keep pouting if I put it on the line for those kinds of provocations. And that Master of mine, hard to tell what that one’s thinking…”

His enemy was laying it all out there. Rider could identify a gladiator when one was staring right at one. Even if that was mostly down to the Grail’s information. A performer, someone who fought for the adoration of a crowd, to live or to die.

That wasn’t so different from him. 

“But in the end, I think they’d both just rather see me win,” He smirked, tossing the rock, this time on a much more direct and powerful course. But not towards the enemy, towards his feet. If the enemy could track his rocks’ movements, then it just meant he had to obscure them.

The rock hit the ground in front of the enemy with the force of an enormous boulder, cracking the ground and scattering a great cloud of debris in front of them. And through that cloud, another pair of spinning stones came with equally destructive force. One directed at the legs, to cripple, and one at the head, to kill.
