The Harakure Residence.... Leon and Saber had finally arrived home in the suburban part of the city. The snow had come down rather hard since then...and truth be told he had an odd feeling in his gut he couldn't tell why though. Saber was as he ever was quiet and always next to him. As Saber entered the house he breathed out easily and the guise of the noble phantasm he carried vanished into air. Leon felt his mana supply was draining but he could've maintained it longer than he had if he needed too. Saber took off his disguise that he had kept on as an extra precaution and put everything he needed to on a nearby rack and so did Leon. Leon proceeded to take off his shoes, and Saber promptly put his away as well. The house felt warm. It was a typical small house and it belonged to Satsuko's family. Her father more specifically he had only met Mr. Hagakure a few times oddly enough and he was kind enough man who loved to travel. Which was what he was doing for a winter vacation at the moment. He had taken it earlier seeing as his daughter had agreed to help Leon out thankfully enough. Saber...was expensive to uphold and it was taking a chunk out of Leon. However Satsuko made it easier for him and when he needed to rest Saber did indeed dissipate into his spiritual form. However all he could think about was the smell of food that Satsuko was making in the kitchen. She normally made dinner for them and Leon did breakfast when he could. Saber...he wasn't necessarily the best cook he had his moments but he was a warrior first and foremost and not trained in the art of taste. It wasn't long until she came prancing into the hallway her messy apron still clinging to her red sweater. She was a pretty young woman even if she lacked certain aspects that men typically liked to stare at...But that wasn't the reason Leon kept her close. It wasn't some sort of romantic fan fictional crap that tied them together like some cheesed romance story. Leon, and Satsuko had been friends since he first started training in magic. She had tutored him in certain aspects of controlling magic and though she hated him and his dueling streak initially they became good friends. === general appearance of Satsuko [hider=My Hider] [img]http://pm1.narvii.com/5661/c7b7e82081640e614aeeffbdab2e47f72fa3a302_hq.jpg[/img] [/hider] === [color=ec008c]"There's my two special guys! You're both home at long last! Mr. Perfect, and Leon!"[/color] Satsuko said as Saber grumbled in disagreement as she passed by Satsuko with an annoyed frown. Saber was not like Leon he didn't like Satsuko because she was too fond of picking on him. He hated when she called him names like that, and tried to get him to snap out of his knightly disposition. Saber would have none of it as it would be badly reflective of Leon if he did. Saber was still stuck in his old ways and he wouldn't change them. Respect everyone, and show no ill will less it reflect badly on your lord. [color=bc8dbf]"Enough of that Satsuko what's for dinner? And for once can we please skip the banter?"[/color] Saber grumbled as he moved into the kitchen and Satsuko puffed out her cheeks, [color=ec008c]"Nothing if you keep acting like that I slave all evening over the freaking stove I expect to have someone thank me!"[/color] Satsuko growled childishly at Saber who promptly gave a off hand apology to his secondary master. [color=00a651]"Well I'd certainly like to thank you. It was a tall order going to church today. I'd like to kick back and eat so thanks for preparing our meals. I appreciate it."[/color] Leon said as Satsuko turned around and smiled at him and nodded in satisfaction before turning back around and facing Saber. [color=ec008c]"At least SOMEONE'S grateful for me huh Sir Prissy Pants? Alright well I made spaghetti tonight! Dig in please! I got sauces, and all sorts of stuff. You like yours with just butter right Leon?"[/color] Satsuko said as Saber, whom had been seated at this present time, groaned a little but didn't say anything. If Satsuko heard it she ignored it. They had eaten Italian food for the past four days straight. Saber wasn't one to complain but he apparently would enjoy some variety. [color=ec008c]"So anything that I should know?"[/color] Satsuko questioned as Leon sat down at the table and Satsuko brought over the food. Leon also noted some garlic bread which he was not to fond of. Not because Satsuko was a bad cook but because he wasn't a big fan of fancy foods and garlic covered foods in general. [color=00a651]"Well to make a long story short we're facing more than the expected amount of people. More over we're supposed to find allies among them. And I received an invitation from two people and even a card from that old guy."[/color] Leon said as Saber looked over to him firmly and Satsuko's eyes widened as she quickly told him to pull it out and show it to her. She grabbed it and checked it over making sure to look for very specific things. [color=ec008c]"You doofus! You could've lead them here! Or it could've had bad magic!"[/color] Satsuko scolded him but told him it was fine. Leon acknowledged he had checked it before he left regardless and thanked her for the concern. [color=bc8dbf]"We must talk about this alliance system later Leon for now however we need our strength and must eat up. Satsuko, despite her own issues, has prepared us a meal. It would be impolite of us to let it go cold."[/color] Saber commented plainly as he ate his food occasionally rubbing off some water from his brow from snow. Leon agreed to that and started to eat up himself. So far it had been an easy evening for them.
