She didn't appear again until the idea of being friends were mentioned and at that point she was still a bit closer than before.  She was facing away from Valla, looking at the direction of the nearest part of the ocean - it was a bit of a different direction than Valla would have though, given where Hope's Reach was.  "The ocean?  Wow... what's a ship?" she turned and asked quickly, like any curious child.  But her head turned quickly as if called, turning back to her.<br/><br/>"I have to go... but me and you can be friends.  I don't know about my people... I'm not important enough to make those kinds of decisions.  But I can meet you here again.  You seem nice.  Although you came from the ocean... your kind must be crazy..." she laughed, her words and toned hinting that she might be rather young, "Tomorrow then?" she said as she disappeared again, kind of humorous in a way since Valla would have no idea if she had left or not.
