In fact-- wasn't this (in a sense) similar to Fio's sword summoning? Regardless of what surface-level similarities the formation seemed to have with Fio's own particular staple Magic, that wasn't important at the moment. [Color=darkorange]"So long as you're being truthful, I've no reason to stop you-"[/color] the Knight replied with a shrug, [color=darkorange]"I'll be fine right where I am. Just pretend I'm not even here."[/color] Regardless of how truthful the petite mage (which seemed thus far a running theme between the Female spellcasters he'd encountered) had been, she clearly didn't seem to regard him as anything more than a random passerby; likely assuming disregarding him as a typical villager. Even if it wasn't particularly good for his mood, it seemed he would be stuck babysitting the all-too-arrogant Mage; prepared to intervene in the ritual or even arrest and detain the Mage should things turn in a direction he disliked. The Knight sighed quietly. Could this day get any more irritating?
