"You will find me difficult to tempt." Heinrich replies to the older man, but his gaze has wandered to the woman who has joined them. By her uniform and reserved demeanor, she is doubtless a mage of the Association, a professional heretic. Relations between the Church and the Association have always been sordidly intertwined, but the Executor cares nothing for such things now. Every act henceforth until he retrieves the Grail will be considered expiatus a priori, in extemis.
That aside, however, he can see in an instant that she is nearly cracked with fear, unable to even look him in the eye. No doubt, she is well aware of what he is, unlike the idiot boy. And yet, to have sent a mage of such weak will to fight in the Holy Grail War... she must be a prodigy of some sort, her arcane skill hoped to outweigh her spinelessness.
Unlikely, that.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
