Einzbern Movie Night #2: Six Coins

[old_man_acht]

The basement has become a second home to Jubstacheit, while outside the walls, the Grail War passes him by. He devotes himself to studying the films that Caster has taken of likely spots along the river, watching the passage of fishermen and children and young women traveling in twos and threes. Until his father's papers come, until Lara's birds have news to report, there is nothing to be done but brew pot after pot of tea and watch the flickering screen.

He can't remember when last he's slept. But for the regular chime of the clock, he'd lose all sense of time.

The screen clears on Saber, blade in Perseus's chest. Acht drums his fingers on the arm of his chair. "Given what we know of Saber and her penchant for alliances, I wouldn't be so quick to say that this is his downfall. You're right; this is the ability of an Assassin, but used in such a way that it cannot serve him. If he and Saber are allied, they might well have staged this 'defeat' to confound watchers like ourselves. It would permit him to work in secrecy, secure in the knowledge that we thought him dead."
