Even after Mella had gotten up and off of the pair, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to get off of Vanessë herself. "Hi, Vanie!", she called, looking up from where she laid. "Just like Mella said, we're off to kill some bandits, maybe rescue some elfie rangers and get lots of silver. Mella thinks you'd be useful too, so I guess you can have a share if you join us!"  She noticed, then, through the crowd, Allia, one of the few girls in the village both around her age and around her size, and gave a big wave, both at her and for her to come over.
