>They are not tinted.

>Could we get inside our wards from here without crossing near Berserker's current path?

>Yes, but it would take a bit to drive back home from here.

>"I think I maybe should pull back into the wards I have set up in my corner of the city. They ought to be able to detect any magical intrusion, so long as I'm inside them - if this master is looking for me, I'd rather be the one who spots them first. It's a couple of blocks away from here; how quickly could you cover the distance if I needed you?"

>"Understood," says Archer. "Right now, it just seems like he's looking around. He's making a good pace, though, he's already covered a block and a half. I think you'd have trouble outrunning him."
>You keep your spells ready, in case something happens.
>A minute passes, then another. You then notice a single car coming from the west, quietly making is way down the road. As it reaches the block you are on, it slows down to a crawl, going perhaps 15 miles per hour at most, then slower still. You get a good look at it as it creeps down the road, it is a small black limousine, the windows are tinted, preventing you from seeing who is inside.

Honestly, I think it's almost certainly best to have Archer come back for this and take a look. If it turns out it's nothing, she should be able to find Berserker again easily enough. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, plus, if it IS the rival master, she will have a headstart over the mysterious Berserker to reach us.

>You turned the car off, so the engine noises wouldn't attract attention. Both manual and automatics exist, you got the latter because Americans don't like clutches and shit.
>You try to stay cool, watching the black limo as discreetly as you can. One of the doors in back opens up. No interior lights come on, so you cannot see inside. Then a hand extends from it, and makes a come hither gesture.

Manuals are pretty uncommon outside of car enthusiasts and the elderly. I literally have no idea how to use one, and I'm not alone in that by far.
