After shaking off the salaryman, Laoise takes the shortest route home she can find while staying well out of sight of any late cars or passersby. Arrived at home, she locks the door and finally allows herself a deep breath. It's not the time to relax, but she can calm down a little.
Once her heart rate has normalized, she carries Assassin's Master upstairs to her room, lies him down on her bed, and turns off the alarm. Then she rushes to the basement to fetch a prepared flower pot with earth, and some seeds. Laoise places the pot with the seeds next to the bed, near the boy's head, and drips some of her blood into the earth. Valerian leaves grow out of the soil fast enough to watch and bloom, releasing a sweet scent to fill the room. A simple sedative spell.
Laoise doesn't think the boy is likely to immediately call for Assassin on waking up, but she still knows nothing about him and is without a Servant. The spell should make his sleep deep and long, so she'll have time before he wakes up. And sleeping well will do him good, in any case.
With that placed, Laoise goes out into the garden. Aengus and Laoise planted lotuses there when they came to Japan, already in preparation for the servant they planned to summon. It takes her a while, but she retrieves a child's weight in fresh lotus roots from the pond and brings them down to the basement. A small amount she takes to the ground floor, washes them, and slices them. She boils a large pot of water and adds the sliced roots along with carrots, soaked peanuts, red dates, honey dates, and dried figs, and lets it simmer.
With the soup on the stove and a cup of coffee in her hand, she descends back down to the basement and sits down in front of the first batch of lotus roots, laid out on the permanent ritual circle. Maybe it's just that the one supporting the brunt of the ritual isn't herself, but Laoise is amazed at how simple it really is. It takes an hour, but all she has to do is tie the roots together into a human shape and provide prana as they sprout and intertwine to become an ever more convincing human likeness.
At the end of it, Laoise raises her hand towards the lifeless replica and commands it.
