[hider=Summoners Confuse Paladins]
...Well, Vani at least knew that he wasn't the only one with a concussion now. 

Either that or this was the most confused girl that he'd ever met in his life. Did she get raised by a father with huge pecs, and she just assumed that her's were soft? Vani's dad was allergic to shirts, so he could kind of see where she was coming from if he stretched whatever minuscule gray matter he had still operating at 100% capacity after that blow to his noggin. Approaching the clearly confused girl, Vani would have a concerned, yet somewhat impatient look to his face as he said:

[color=FFDEAD][b]"Hey, Listen, I know that you're kind of in the middle of...something, but we've gotta-"[/b][/color] he said, before hearing the sounds of movement. And saw a fairy pop out of thin air. And saw a mass of shadow and red-gunk turn into a dog. ...Vani was really starting to wonder if he'd ever woken up from that blow to the head. But until he knew otherwise, the paladin would draw his sword, bringing up the front position alongside the black-haired girl with her...dog-thing marching to the east. [color=FFDEAD][b]"...So, hello, Paladin here, just letting you know that if we make it out alive, I will not judge you at all for having a shadow...beast...thing. ...Not in the market for debating what's heretical today after fighting an old man that wore bones as armor,"[/b][/color] he said, adjusting his sword in his hand, holding his dented shield at the ready as they walked. 

Admittedly, Vani couldn't help from stealing an occasional glance at the black-haired spellsword. ...Why were most female adventurers so attractive? Is this where all the pretty girls from his village went? To go running around in armors of various degrees of effectiveness and contracting demons? ...Was this why the High Templar didn't want him going out so soon for random gallivanting for adventure? If so...Vani was glad that he did leave early. 

He was surprised by the confused girl uncertain of her gender that was marching so...quickly in shoes like that. Vani had to jog just to catch up with her pace...all the while wondering if she was with the group that the Fairy Summoner and the woman who healed him were in. Doing simple mental math, Vani deduced that Locke as the only male in the party must have somehow seduced a number of women adventurers into his party, and used some manner of magic to bind them to his will. He totally wasn't jealous of him being surrounded by beautiful and exotic women. Not at all.
