[hider=That Pupper is Possessed of the Satans] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7Mi8eup.png[/img][/center] [color=FFDEAD][b]"...ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!?"[/b][/color] Vani all but screamed after seeing the demon-beast-slime-dog-good-boy-Carpenter engulf the scout's head, causing the paladin to cringe at the sight. Was it eating him alive!? Was it sucking out his brains!? Was it...mating with his mouth!? He had no idea, and frankly had no taste for murder. As such, he would approach and, using the pommel of his sword, deliver a swift blow to the man's stomach in order to knock him out. Vani would turn back to Annabelle, remembering that before all that mess happened that she'd called him "Sir Paladin". It wasn't an incorrect title for one of peasantry but...it felt so...unearned. Even Vani knew that he wasn't all THAT grand to be called by a double title, as if he was the epitome of Paladin-ness. Clearing his throat, Vani would say: [color=FFDEAD][b]"While I appreciate your respect, my name is Vani Silvergrove. So...Sir Silvergrove suits me just fine." "...Actually, no, wait, no, just call me Vani. Let's keep moving,"[/b][/color] Vani said, giving the shadow beast a wiiiiide berth after seeing it head-crab a man. [/hider]
