An eye to the side, a brief glance. Vanessa was not unaware of a less-than-friendly gathering group. But, unlike the watchful woman, she was unconcerned.<br/><br/>A clank of armor, and she is approached. Attractive, this armored woman... Very interesting. It was quite clear what she was doing, but why? A good heart? Or an ulterior motive? She flashes a grin. "Well-met! I was wondering where you'd gotten to!" She loops one of her arms through the woman's, seeing the sincere friendliness.<br/><br/>Vanessa leans close, whispering into the firey-haired woman's ear. "I can see what you are doing, but I do not need it. My spells should be more than sufficient to protect me from rabble." She chuckles. "But I thank you for  your concern."<br/><br/>Her voice is friendly. She will see where this takes her.
