Ken sighed and turned his head from the window, beginning to walk to the caverns front door.

"She's armed." his servant informed him.
"Thanks for the heads up."

"I am... Someone who knows what you are." he just said. "I assume that the dead archer is inside there as well?" he inquired. He hadn't touched his sword yet, nor made any other aggressive move, but he was ready for a fight should she or her master challenge him to one.

(sorry, pc was being spazzy.)

Yuri's eyes squinted when he said he knew what she was. She didn't have any idea who he was so it made her uncomfortable that he knew about her.

"That is invalid information. The Archer is none of your concern." She said and gripped onto her sword tighter with her one hand, expecting a fight.

Ken got to the door and put his hand on the knob, slowly turning it.

Ronan saw her hand tensing even though he couldn't see the blade it clenched. "Don't worry, I don't plan on fighting just yet. I was just... interested. Why is it that you and your master take in another servant, even when you know she will disappear? Killing her would be your best chance of victory."

"Don't open the door, Master." She mumbled then turned her attention back to the man.

"That may be so, but I couldn't leave a dying Servant on the ground. She is an Archer, she'll be able to last a little longer without her Master at her side." She explained.
"May I ask, why aren't you fighting me now? As you said, it would lead you a step closer to victory." She questioned him.

Ken heard Yuri quite clearly. He took his hand off he knob and turned around. It probably would be better for him to stay and protect Misaki.

"She has no master anymore and will disappear. You know as well as I that if she does, she can forge a new pact with another master who has lost his or her servant. She will only be harder to kill then, than she is now." He smiled. "It interests me. Why keep a servant alive if she will only thwart you later?"

"I know indeed that she might come against us later on, but for now we'll keep her safe until that happens. All Servants were made to fight against each other. I expect her to turn her back on us." She explained then examined him with her eyes. "Please, do what you came to do. If you just wanted to ask question I gave you enough answers." She said.

"They're not going to give her up." His servant said.
"I know. We'll have to do it the hard way, then."

Ronan drew his katana from the sheath and held it in front of him, still smiling as he got into position. "It is a noble action to protect those in need of help. With that fact about you set out, and the fact that blade of yours is currently clouded, I'll have to assume you are Saber." He nodded to himself. "However, I cannot let that happen. The Archer needs to die before she can stab you in the back when you least expect it."
"I'm ready, master."
"Hold it for now."
"Understood."

Yuri held up her sword in front of her and gripped it tightly with both hands. He knew she was a Saber but she still didn't know what he was. She wasn't at her strongest right now so that meant her armour could now be easily damaged rather then before when she's full strength.

"You should not worry about me. I can make my own decisions and my decision is to leg the Archer stay." She said "Since you know what class I am, may I know yours?"

((Oh now my thing is being all laggy ))

Ronan smiled. "You are mistaken. I am no servant." he replied. "I am a master."

Yuri's eyes widened. A Master being able to withhold such a weapon. She got him mistaken for a Servant. "So, where's your Servant?" She asked.

Ronan shrugged. "What would be the point in informing you of that little fact? It would only endanger both of us."

Yuri stood there. This man clearly wasn't going to listen to her. It won't go her way. She didn't understand at all what he meant but she was going to figure it out.

She drew back her sword, placing it at her side once again. She took a step forward and then another step, beginning to walk towards the man.

Ronan smiled. "Alright then, Saber. Show me what you can do."
Ronan didn't charge nor change his position. He waited patiently for his adversary to make a move. He knew he was fighting a servant, and he knew servants were dangerous. But he had years of experience wielding the katana he held in both hands at that moment, and he was certain of his position. He'd fight back, and he'd hold his ground.

"You're quite difficult." She said as she stopped even closer to him then before but not to close, just close enough for her to charge at him. She gripped onto her blade with both hands again and closed her eyes for a second, thinking of what to do since her armour could still be easily damaged.

She opened her eyes and glared at him before charging at him with her sword.

Ronan smiled at her charge. He readied himself as if he was going to block the blade. At the last moment, he altered the position of his blade to let Yuri's slide along it as he sidestepped her charge. Taking a jump backward again, Ronan once again got in a position to recieve her next assault.
His servant spoke to him. "Remember, if you focus on your opponent, you'll feel her magic thanks to the spell I taught you. You'll feel the sword's clouding barrier and you'll feel where the blade is. Focus on her Mana."
"Got it."
He kept an eye on Yuri as he made sure not to let his back face the cavern. He wasn't going to let Yuri's master outflank him.
