'Wow...' was all that Vanya thought as she saw the presentation going on before her.  The way the man was just handing out a fortune to people without even really worrying about whether or not they would wind up going out in search of this item, which apparently he wanted a large amount of.  If the man was willing to go through all this trouble just to get people to agree to go find the mysterious item, the reward for bringing it to him must be unimaginable, especially to whomever got it first.<br/><br/>Just as Vanya was about to get up on the stage to collect her own packet, she couldn't help noticing Atlan getting up on stage and boldly pronouncing his boast.  This caused Vanya to make sure to let some of the other people in the crowd go up ahead of him, not wanting to be associated with him, even though they had met a few times in the past few days.<br/><br/>Once she felt that enough time had passed after Atlan got off the stage as to have anyone believe she was associated with him, she stepped up and collected her own pouch without too terribly much of a horrah.  Letting other's underestimate you was usually a better strategy than boasting about your own strengths after all.
