Wandering the town, Valeani's increasing frustration at being unable to locate either Ryla or Xarces is plain to see, as is her apparent method of coping through consuming anything alcoholic she can lay hands on.  It's only later that she belatedly comes to the dual realizations that not only did she never bother to inquire as to what either individual actually looked like, but that someone trying to quietly gather information on a sensitive subject would likely not use their real name.  Making her way back to the tavern where the others were staying, she was about to tell the others about her lack of success when Ryla sheepishly arrives.  "Well now, at least it looks like you got something out of the time.  I didn't hear anything about this Xarces fellow you mentioned though; if he's trying to stay scarce, he's doing a good job of it."<br/><br/>Tagging along with the others to the ship, Valeani seems determined to spend as much of the journey attempting to sleep off her recent activities, with little success.  After the climb to the mansion through the jungle, she's more than ready for something a bit more stimulating to really get her blood going and the appearance of what looks to be a competing group is exactly what might give her that.  Turning to Misha, she grins and takes a few steps forward.  "Well, I can't speak for what might have happened in the past, but I think it's safe to say that they set the place on fire, which is obviously something we don't want."
