While his presence here at Brambleshire was supposed to be covert, operating as the head butler of the Coleman family, Kiritsugu realized that his fickle Masters in the Eastern court must have given his position away. But that did not change his position, he was still working under a contract with the Colemans and he would not leave his post. But how would he remain away from that meeting was the question, would he send a representative in his place or would his just ignore the request and prepare for the consequences.<br/><br/>He chased the maid away with a wave of his hand, he did have Ming, but he was not proficient in the English language, which would be disastrous for his entire operations as information was needed to run smoothly. Then who? The maid? He frowned, it was not a bad choice, but if a human enters in his place... But then this invitation would mean he was highly valued. He ran his tongue over his teeth in thought, yes, he would send Eve in his place and Ming as her bodyguard. He trusted that they would be able to last long enough for either him to arrive or take down a few of them along.<br/><br/>He rolled his shoulders and went to find Eve, who was speaking with another maid. "Evening, ladies," He said, feigning to be the role he was playing. He turned to Eve, "A moment if I may? Master Coleman wants something done." He beckoned for her to follow him out of the mansion.<br/><br/>His tone changed from pacifying to cold and passive the moment he spoke again, "There is a meeting that the Queen wants me to attend. But I won't, lest Coleman sees this as a betrayal. But you will go in my place." He glanced over his shoulder, "My student will take care of you. Just stay level headed and don't blurt out anything unneeded."<br/><br/>"I can't refuse can I?" Eve nearly sighed. "I will need leverage." She looked up at him.<br/><br/>"I'm giving you this." He passed her an object, roughly spherical in shape, surrounded with coils and coils of wire. "This is a special grenade. You pull the string and count to three, the razor wires lash out and maim everything. Not to mention, this has some unique attributes." He tilted it so that Eve could see a silver glow. "If things go very wrong, meaning they start attacking you physically, activate it."<br/><br/>Her eyes widened slightly, a rare reaction for a brief moment. "But isn't it illegal here?"<br/><br/>"It is not in my country and I certainly don't play by their rules. Not that everyone here is playing fair either." Kiritsugu snorted. "So take it and go. I will speak to your . . . friend and explain to her what has happened. Ming will join you later, but as of now, you are on your own."<br/><br/>Eve took the grenade and stuffed it into a pocket. This thing . . .<br/><br/>"Don't worry too much about it. It is very stable, I keep it with me all the time."
