"... Of course not," responded Lord Velbrance, noticeably growing somewhat more wary at the appearance of the vampiric Paladin as he spoke. "Saints are few and far between, are they not? And so it takes exceptionally rare capability to even approach one, does it not? I was simply attempting to see if the Knight-Captain felt she was on that level."

Even though Fanilly wasn't certain what the goal of the comments was, she could tell that Lord Velbrance was most certainly not asking any of this in good faith. But it was overwhelming, she hadn't been prepared for this. She'd wanted to try and... and do anything but get into a war of words with a noble with ill intentions. She didn't even know what Lord Velbrance's goal was, she had barely spoken with him as a child all of once.

"Besides, crushing some thieves is only-"

Being cut off by Gillian's minor tirade brought the Lord to silence once more. Fanilly, too, stared with wide eyes as she heard Gillian's words. A saint was no better? Ah... what did she say to all this...? 

"..." For a few moments, the nobleman was silent.

And then he chuckled.

"Really? Are all the knights under your command so irreverent?" he commented, "To think, you adhere to such an old tradition and yet your reverence is so thin? An order founded by a saint and yet you care nothing for sainthood?"

He smirked.

"Perhaps this really is too much for poor Danbalion to manage... well, I wish you good luck regardless!"

With that, he began to turn to leave...
