Malva chuckled softly, seemingly unperturbed by Aara's response. "Ah, come now, Aara. Can't we put our differences aside, if only for a moment? I'm not here to cause trouble, I simply wanted to say 'hi.'"

Aara responded with a glare."I find it hard to believe that you came all the way here just to say 'hi'. Your appearance here can't be just mere coincidence... I suspect you know more than you're letting on."

Malva grinned, and they inclined their head with a mock bow. "Ah, you always were perceptive, Aara," they said with amusement. "Yes, it is true. Rederra is involved in this little disturbance. She seeks something, and I find it rather intriguing."
