[ makes some kind of attempt to pull away from that, like he'd detected the movement happening but didn't quite make it away in time, and he scowls ]
—Rest can happen after I have obtained immortality.
[ but you have a point on the intelligence thing. hm. ]
Every summoned Servant must be summoned through these methods, correct? A summoning circle in blood and a catalyst, something like a personal belonging. If they are just as expensive as your eyes—[ snorts ]—eye crystals are, then there are not many people who can afford such a thing in the first place, not in this city. But if they aren't in this city then it's even more imperative that the search begins tonight.
You're of no use to either of us if you drop dead from sleep deprivation. There's no guarantee I was even the last one summoned. The war may not have begun yet.
[He does let go, though.]
You might be on to something, but it can wait until after you've slept, or you can have me follow up on it while you rest.
And I know a workaholic when I meet one. I know what a man who hasn't slept in too long looks like, too, but you take the cake.
Rest. These things don't start quickly. Mages hate to tip their hands too early, so there will be weeks of circling each other like sharks at the start, I reckon. No reason not to sleep sound while you can. The advantage can wait a night.
I seem to have been summoned as a Caster class, so you should probably call me that. The identity of the servant is supposed to be kept relatively secret. Part of the whole not tipping your hand thing.

[ i don't care if you're put out or not ]
How long will this take.
no subject
It'll take however long it takes. We'll have to be the last ones standing to win.
no subject
[ also I wouldn't really kill Timothy but you don't know that ]
How many opponents?
no subject
There should be seven master-servant teams, including us.
no subject
[ sniffs. ]
That should be easy enough. Hardly a challenge—very well. We'll finish this tonight.
[ turns—there almost seems to be a sway in his movement, but he's straightened himself up and he's walking to the exit of the cavern ]
[ . . .
you're probably supposed to follow ]
no subject
Uh. No. You need rest, and we have no intelligence on the other groups yet.

Now.
Unhand me.

no subject
If it hasn't begun then it's time to prepare, so that we have the advantage when it begins.
[ read: he's going to plant bombs and traps in this entire city ]
Tt. I am fine, I know the limits to my own body.
[ in fairness he is also aware he is rapidly approaching said limits, but ]

looks to his watch, glancing to the crystals still in his hands
looks to the blood on his hands, too. and the blood on his clothes. good thing he wears only black.

And where will you go, while I am resting?

Finish in three hours.

Sleep longer than that.

Three hours, Ryner Lute.

[ pauses, suddenly realizing something, and he's thoughtful ]
. . . Wayne. Damian Wayne.
no subject
Damian. Hi. Nice to meet you, I guess.
no subject
[ with an irritated sigh, as he turns to you know, keep walking again ]
It isn't reciprocated. But it is only fair that you know my name, now that I know yours.
no subject

Rest well, Damian.
no subject
Report back with everything you know.
. . . For now, avoid speaking to anyone directly at all. Especially if they are here.
no subject
[Sparkles out of existence, and after a few moments Damian will get the distinct feeling he's left.]
no subject
[ so 1) can you sense if i'm awake or not
and 2) are you coming back in three hours ]
