>Lancer nods. "That's two down, then. We've been hunting for Assassin, but with no luck. I'm sure I've felt him around somewhere, but we haven't been able to find him."
>"He's biding his time," Kimimela says.

> "Yeah, the jerk wants his noble phantasm back before he does anything. I'm glad he's around here somewhere, though, I was worried he was still camping out back in Illinois or something."

> Explain to Kimimela. "You remember how Assassin's noble phantasm will turn any kill he makes into a world-changing event, right? Well last night they picked up a random guy from North Korea and they're blaming him for Koch's murder, saying he's an agent of the DPRK."
> "It looks really bad. I'm hoping if we kill Assassin quickly enough things will settle down, even if it's just wishful thinking."
> "Did you two ever sense his master, or just the servant?"

>"They find a way, they always do," Lancer says. "I am not sure if Assassin's master is around, it's fuzzier than you may thing. I've found a few magi."

> "Maybe we could spend a day coordinating and doing recon on the magi you're able to sense. It's kind of a pain, but I don't think Assassin's master is going to reveal themselves by choice."

> "We think there might be some sort of conditions for him showing up. The first time was when Koch approached me, the second was when you did. So I thought he might just be drawn by two masters being in the same place at the same time, but by now it's obvious there's more to it."
