One and her siblings weren't specifically created to work well with one noble; creating a Servant is hard enough, determining it's personality is near impossible. That being said though, they've managed to have friendly conversations with each of The Lords before.
One in particular has had more friendly interactions with Vera than most. The High Mage is also the most impatient of the callers', and so she thinks it'd be most important to answer her first. The stone is answered.
The answer stone fizzles before flaring to life.
"THERE you are, servant! Felt like you kept me waiting for over a WEEK!"
"I assure you, High Mage, you were the first one I answered. "
"Good! Who else is calling, anyway?"
"Not too many. Captain Wisp, The Hosts, Lady Palo-"
"Ugh, the rat. Don't even bother with that one, I say."
"...I'll keep that in mind, High Mage. As for the signal you just received, I'm afraid it was a...stumping fluke. Sheerly accidental, my deepest apologies for-"
"Oh, I doubt The Lawyer carking it was an accident, but whatever floats your boat."
There is a brief moment of silence.
"I'm sorry, High Mage, I'm afraid I don't- I don't-"
"Don't play stupid, Servant. I'm not allowed to HARM The Lawyer, but nobody said anything about a couple spying spells. I've been keeping tabs, and ya'll are in some hot water now."
"...I... yes. We were hoping to keep this situation under wraps, avoid causing unecessary panic until The Will could be properly completed."
"Ooh, keeping the word from spreading about The Lawyer's little... toxic accident? Sure, I'd be willing to help you with that!"
"You guys would just have to owe me a little favor."
