It's been a very long time since Velanna saw another Dalish, and that in itself is almost enough to startle her off her warpath. She actually doesn't hear most of what the young woman says to the fools she's staring down as she takes several shallow breaths, trying to calm herself down. Once she's done talking, Velanna is (almost) calm. It takes her a moment to respond, however, her jaw tight.

"Fine," she snaps, before looking up at the group gathered. "I will let the shemlen go, provided they go quickly." She's had misunderstandings in the past, of course. Almost always they lead to her murdering a bunch of people.
