[Todd Marchen and Rider - Warehouse]
The man wrapped in black and red lazily looked his Servant, frowning slightly at the rather redundant question.
"As I am the one who perform the ritual as designated, and am also the only person for at least half a mile in any direction, I'm forced to assume that I am, in fact, your Master."
At this, Rider simply nodded, stepping forward as prana surged through his body.
"The ritual is complete. Now, what are your commands, Master?"
The man went silent as he began to tidy up the mess, scuffing the floor that had once held the burning magic circle in an attempt to mess up the scorched symbol. Failing, his frown deepened.
"First things first. We will be moving out shortly, as I will be creating a workshop that can double as a base for us, so I'd like you to scout in the surrounding area to prevent any... unwanted surprises."
"I understand. Will you require me to inform you of my abilities now or once I return?" Rider asked as he turned away, considering whether to scout the area in spirit form or to blend in like a native. Perhaps it was a tad selfish of him, but with the information of the modern age that the Grail provided him, he wanted to experience this era for himself, if only for a little while.
"I will expect you to inform me of your abilities when we..." The Master savored his words, thinking of his eventual destination and the comfort it would provide. "...arrive. Until then, just inform me of any changes or suspicious people you come across."
"Very well." Rider said while making his decision. "Master, I will be scouting the area while materialized. Do you have any clothes that you could lend me? From what the Grail has informed me, armor is uncommon in this day and age." Rider said wryly, gesturing to his iron armor.
The man nodded slowly, appearing to consider the question for some time before his eventual response. "I do not have a complete set, per say, but I do have something that will help." In a single, fluid movement, he pulled off his overcoat and tossed it at his Servant. "Wear that over your clothes. If you can dispel your armor, I'd suggest doing so if just to cut down on the bulk."
Rider caught the overcoat while dispelling his armor as his Master had suggested, revealing a set of elaborate blue robes beneath it. Shrugging, he put the overcoat on, concealing his robes beneath it.
"My thanks, Master. Although I do look like what the Grail calls a...'drug dealer'? No matter. I will return soon." Rider said, stepping out of the warehouse.
