I am not trying to be difficult here at all, please understand that. I just read those posts differently and feel that the connections I drew may be more in flavor of the post rather than specifics.<br/><br/>I read that differently as Brandi is pacing the floor and watching the sky above for traps, and though she never directly said she entered the Hedge, I doubt that the sky is visible from inside the building. Then, "there was a little fear in her voice, but her steps where firm and she didn't hesitate as the group moved." tells me that Valerie is with us as well.<br/><br/>Just waiting on Heph.
