Summary: Lancer and Feferi smash a giant crab and the latter attempts to eat it all! Will be open for anyone who wants to eat!

[So far, Lancer had felt more home wandering the shores of the Teyn and trying to angle gigantic fish in the depths of the lake. For the most part despite his comfort and feeling of familiarity with the dangers of the locale, he felt remarkably bored.

So, he took a nap by the shore, the two familiars that had come with him curled up at his sides, though remaining silent. They didn't often sleep as they were utilized primarily for the sake of guarding their master, but without her around--they fell to working for the Servant, instead. He couldn't complain that they were only begrudgingly obeying him. For the moment, he was warm and could sleep out in the open.

Until, of course, a gigantic crab monster burst out of a stone column just down the shore, waking him up.]

...Ah?

Comments

[holysongwhoops]

Oh, hello. My name is Colette. I was just walking by. I'm sorry if I surprised you at all. [She blushes from embarrassment.] If I'm really sneaky, I really don't know it and I'll try to stop doing it.

What's your name? [Were this an anime, the "!" would pop above her head right now.] Oh, and your doggies' names, too. [She seems pretty serious about this question, despite her carefree, friendly approach.]

[She looks towards the fallen GIANT ENEMY CRAG for a moment or two, having been tipped off to its impact. Her superhuman hearing certainly made it as obvious as if she was standing right next to it when it happened.]

[Lancer straightened himself, frowning inwardly. He was snuck up on by an exceptionally polite young lady and even if he actually managed to take down a potential ambusher, that was still worthy of admonishment. He should have been aware of everything, even the gnats crawling on the dogs.]

Oi, oi. You shouldn't be around here, missy. It'll be a pain if I've got to watch after people while I'm out on a hunt.

[Finding his manners after a lengthy pause, Lancer huffed.] --Lancer. The hounds don't have any names, actually... So, if you'll tell me what you're doing out here...?

[holysongwhoops]

Oh, sorry.

I was just felt like taking a walk. I mean, I 'was' flying for a bit before I landed a minute ago. [Her smile turns neutral as she tilts her head.] What was it you were hunting? That GIANT ENEMY CRAB? Or is it something more rare, like a small, golden colored beetle?

[Kneeling down, she is greatly taken by the pair of hounds near Lancer even though her attention is currently on him.]

[cu_chulainn]

[The hounds stared at the young lady, their red eyes focused with borderline hungry gazes. They were tempted to dig into the crab, but Lancer hadn't yet given his approval for them to do anything of their own accord.

Especially not with a lady present. Letting familiars do as they pleased was downright foolish.]

Flying... [The ridiculous people he was meeting...]

Yet, you should have seen this was a pretty lousy place for a walk. [Lancer turned over his hands, his spear manifesting in his palms before he twisted it and swung it through the shell of the crab, splitting it down the middle.]

'Hunting' as a sport doesn't typically come with a general target. In practice, it's more fun to have low expectations.

[holysongwhoops]

Was it? I really thought it was nice. I mean, I noticed you relaxing here, so I figured it must be pretty nice. Silly me.

[She stands and stretches.]

That GIANT ENEMY CRAB wasn't very tough...or maybe, you're just really strong? I've never seen someone use a lance like you do--[She gets it.]--Oh! Is that why you're called "Lancer"?

[cu_chulainn]

Nah, I'm not a good measuring stick when it comes to peaceful places. My sort of hangout isn't relaxing in the least for most people and I prefer campin' in the rough above all else.

[Dusting himself off due to the copious amounts of sand--Lancer looked aside as Feferi took down another crab a ways off.]

I'm a bit of an oddity when it comes to lances and just the same, I ain't gonna make any claims about my abilities. But, you're hitting the right spot--generally, this weapon is why I'm called 'Lancer'. My real name ain't something for a first-time meeting, sadly.

[holysongwhoops]

[Miss blonde ponders his words for a few seconds. She taps her finger on her chin a few times.]

I see....I've done a lot of camping in the wilds, too. Say, do you need any help cooking the GIANT ENEMY CRAB? [Sees.] I mean both of them. That doggie of yours is very strong too.

[cu_chulainn]

I don't even know if I want to eat these things, yet. [Though he was fairly certain that the former Troll Heiress ripping the claw off that second crab really cared about what she ate or not.

Lancer yelled at the former Heiress all the same.]

Tcch.

I gotta check it out, first. You don't just eat any ol' monster, missy. [Lancer ran his fingertips through the air, drawing up a series of runes in front of the crab. He was going to burn it--just to see if anything that came out of its flesh was noxious.]

Why are you callin' them that, anyway?
