[Lancer was just minding his own business. Really. He spent quite a bit of time in the park, mainly because more often than not he could find a tree to jump into and be relatively alone.]
[Never mind that Scathach was the one person living or dead that Lancer had ever looked up to and admired.]
[That didn't change the fact that the mere mention of her name could be enough to send a cold chill of dread down the Hound of Ulster's spine. Her training had been beyond hell, enough to make even demons cry and beg for mercy.]
[And while Lancer had fond memories of his teacher, he had just as many that led him to think that hearing her name meant he was about to get his ass kicked.]

[And she was right over there holy shit what]
[Lancer had never inscribed a speed-enhancing rune on the ground so quickly in his life, and the speed at which he bolted into the nearest tree was damn near the same level of agility he'd had as a Servant.]
[Cursing vividly under his breath in ancient Irish Gaelic the whole time and wondering just how badly he was about to get his ass handed to him, Lancer hadn't even noticed Minato there at all.]
[Luckily for Lancer, Scathach disappears just as quickly as she was summoned. Minato places a hand on his head, looking a bit worn but pleased at his new Persona's work. He'd never used Mabufudyne against anything but groups of Shadows before, so he hadn't expected the landscape to transform into this.
Minato, likewise, has not noticed Lancer, his mind still fuzzy from using the Evoker for the first time in months.]
[He wasn't getting curbstomped. This was arguably a new experience regarding Scathach. After a minute or two, Lancer risked dropping down out of the tree and looking around.]
...Hey, kid. Did you see a woman around here just now? Where'd she go?
[Scowling faintly, he traced a rune in the air--with a small amount of magical energy, it wouldn't result in the usual conflagration. There was a small, momentary flash of fire, melting the ice around where Lancer was standing.]
[Would it count as wasting magical energy if it went towards not making him fall over and look stupid? Hard to say, really.]
...Just someone I knew a long time ago. She still around?
[In his head. How to answer that? Even though he's become somewhat relaxed regarding keeping the Personae a secret, it's still ingrained into him to do so when people come close to finding out.]

Eh? Lancer-san?

[OH HOLY SHIT ICE EVERYWHERE. Lancer stumbled for a moment or two, bracing his hand against the tree to stop from falling.]
--I thought I saw someone I used to know.
[You can't play it cool after flailing like an idiot, Lancer. Don't try.]

[Though with it being summer, it shouldn't take long for it to thaw out. Someone he knew though? He must have been talking about--]
Oh, who would that be?
