Taka Frederick & Assassin
Taka had kept her eyes firmly focused on the man in front of her until her eyes began watching the display in front of her, of the news that she had missed. Interesting. There had been an explosion at the docks, considering the view of the destruction on camera Taka's instincts seemed to lead her towards the fact that it was likely a battle between servants. It was a fair conclusion considering the nature of a Grail War.
The boy smiled at her politely before he came up with a question. He wanted to know why she didn't know. So she played it off casually with a reasonable excuse. "Housing problems, Currently moving and all. My stuff hasn't arrived, don't even have the internet at my apartment." She said with a grin. Her posture looked relaxed as if she wasn't hiding anything. It was mostly true statement albeit purposely changing key details.
She would thank the kid if it wasn't for her paranoid instinct and the fact that the smile was beginning to unnerve her security about the situation. something was off about him. She needed to confer with another trusted individual to get a second opinion. Who better than the only individual she's had any real contact with recently. She decided to tap into her link with Jack, She needed to make sure of something.
"Assassin" She began, speaking formally over the link, just in case anyone nearby could read minds. Before Jack even responded Taka felt the feedback of the wraiths that composed her servant, which was perhaps why she liked to keep usage of the link to a minimal.

The feedback was reduced to extremely faint whispers almost instantly when Jack responded. Her voice was very familiar to Taka already.
"What is it Master."
Jack was also down to business. If this looked like a fight was going to break out they had to be ready as a servant/master pair.
"I need you to scout any, and all vantage points from this location. Go high work down. Stay concealed, Do not engage until I am also ready. If its all going to hit the fan. Then we do it as
Family, Pre-emptive is preferred. So just tell me when your ready."
"Got it Mo... Master." Jack responded almost slipping up, Her childish nature always seemed to manifest itself when they talked alone, even when through a link.
At that point Taka stopped tapping into the link. The whispers back-noise always bothered her with what they said but as long as Jack was the defining voice all was fine. She looked at the kid again. Perhaps she should drop the bomb first. Holding her hands behind her back she leaned forward whispering something. "So are you a Magus?" She asked her voice low to make sure it reached only its intended ears. Her hands positioned in the perfect spot for a flowing draw of her gun if necessary. One of her hands had its fingers curled slightly and would cast Mana leak on him the moment a confirmation escaped his lips, though the way she positioned her hand the curled fingers were hidden beneath the other hand.
If he said yes, It didn't matter if he was good or bad at that point. Mana leak was her safety measure, she wouldn't continue talking if she couldn't make sure her opponent was slowly losing mana, unnoticeably until they tried to cast magic, to which the Frederick curse would do its job and worsen the leak.
