Alfred eyed the breakfast longingly but looked to Rider. It was simply a matter of gathering intel on a potential master. Lightning another cigarette he nodded. “How fast can you get us there, and does it alert both Servant and Master?”

"My beloved chariot is as fast as the wind, and it carries all the glory of the sun itself. They will have but a moment to bask in my brilliance before we are upon them."

If that was the case, then he had little in the way of complaints. “Yeah, let’s go.”

You step outside behind Ozymandius to find a chariot waiting outside, attached to a pair of powerful-looking brown warhorses. "For a mere mortal to hold the honor of riding my chariot at my side. I hope you appreciate how truly blessed you are."
The two of you climb on and go tearing through the streets. "Ah, this is excellent!"
You have some concerns about the complete lack of subtlety being employed here.
The urban buildings give way to smaller and smaller houses. As promised, the chariot is extremely fast, and the surroundings pass as a blur. Soon you find yourself in the desert proper.
A pair of people are standing out in the sand. The one in front is a shorter woman with golden hair in a golden kimono and a cowboy hat. Her feet are bare... and red. And clawed. She's glaring at you as if she saw your approach. The one behind her is a man, wiry build, with mussy brown hair and glasses.
It seems like Ozy's planning to just charge over them.

Alfred placed a hand on the chariot to steady himself as he disembarked from the chariot. His composure did not change as he eyed the servant, but the contents of his stomach threatened to do so. “Are you the Master?”

You motion for Ozymandius to stop and let you off. "Very well. I suppose it's only fitting to allow them to know they have the glory of dying at my hand."
While you approach, the man says something to the short woman. You ask if he's the master.
"Who's asking?" the obvious servant asks.

The man mutters to the woman for a moment, then steps aside.
"Well, as it's so obvious which of you is the servant, I suppose it's only fair I enlighten you. Yosai Okane. Mage and now Master at your service," he says with a bow. "And who might you be?"

Alfred narrowed his eyes. “Alfred Godwine. You’re the first Master I’ve met so far in this Holy Grail War.” His eyes never left the servant at the Master’s side. It wouldn’t be much of an issue if his body wasn’t frail in comparison to a servant’s.

Your servant's voice echoes in your head. "Enough talk. We've already given these two far greater honor than they deserve. It's time to be done with them."
"Yes, well. You've chosen a rather poor time for parlay. Who knows when fighting will break out in the city?" the master says.

Alfred looked to his servant. “Not yet, Rider. There is something I want to see first. If it doesn’t work, then I give you permission to do as you please.”
“We have many enemies in this war, that is true. However, there is nothing stating that we can’t work together to achieve some common goal until an alliance is no longer needed.”
He smiled. “What do you think?”

"...Hmph," both of the servants say at the same time.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, but what exactly would be our approach in this proposed alliance? There's been some rather unsavory characters in the history of this event, so you'll forgive my lack of immediate trust," Yosai asks.

“Well, your mistrust is well-founded. We eliminate the other Masters and in the end face off for the Grail. However, we’re not required to reveal any of abilities to the other. Think of it as mere communication and eliminating other targets.” Alfred replied, almost in bored monotony.

His servant looks over her shoulder and growls.

"Exactly what I was thinking. I look forward to working with you," Okane says. He holds his hand out to shake.
"I suppose I can tolerate working with this... woman. I admit I am mildly curious about her and her... unusual form," Ozymandias thinks to you.
