[hider=Hey you, you're finally awake! You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into an Imperial Ambush.] [color=FFDEAD][b]"Nn...fi'more'minus..."[/b][/color] the unconscious paladin would grumble as the wounds on the back of his head were tended, his probable concussion becoming improbably fixed via magic. Consciousness was a tender mistress, and it constantly flitted away from Vani in spite of his efforts to stay awake. First there was screaming, then a whole lot of talking, and now Vani was slowly opening his eyes to the sight of a buxom girl squishing the cheeks of another girl. ...Woah. That was... [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/sNG80Hs.png[/img][/center] [color=FFDEAD][i]"Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice~"[/i][/color] he thought to himself. He understood. He had very clearly died and gone to a fitting afterlife courtesy of Lolan. An afterlife filled with women of various sizes and shapes to attend to him. He almost believed it for a second, were it not for the throbbing headache that assaulted his consciousness the moment he awoke. ...And, y'know. The sausages present at the party. His expression went from a dopey smile to a heavy grimace, which quickly returned to neutral as he realized that he'd just been saved. Looking up at the brown-haired woman who he could only assume had been healing his cracked noggin, Vani smiled, saying: [color=FFDEAD][b]"Thanks for fixing my head up. ...Guess this is why I got yelled at in training for not wearing a helmet."[/b][/color] The elf would slowly raise his body from the ground, a throbbing ache still present that felt like a mix of mild skull-thrashing and wounded pride as Vani finally realized...he'd screwed up and just slowed his Lizard-partner down as well as the gahanagohnga elf that had already stuck her neck out for them. Scratching his head above the spot that was caked in dried blood, Vani would stand up and finally start taking in what was going on. Okay... so... There was the girl that looked far too young to have honkers that big. And according to the man with the strangely punchable looking face some gigantic light had given away their position. His lizard-pal was stating that he was ready to go, which was good enough for Vani as he placed a hand on his sword's pommel, smiling. [color=FFDEAD][b]"Frankly, I have absolutely no idea what's going on. But, if the star's been found, might as well get on out of here,"[/b][/color] he said, looking to Serafaye and having absolutely no idea who she was or what race she was. ...In fact, he literally only knew two people here. Buuut...now was not the time for explanations. Instead, the paladin would simply trust that they'd either lost at finding the star first, or that the Lizard and their High Elven friend had managed to locate it and the rest were stragglers. Either way, he was assuming that he'd probably have to argue really hard for even getting 10% of the cut when he had to be dragged all the way here. [/hider]
