Alea frowned. "All the Denvali should have been with Astrid, she wouldn't need to go searching for them..." She struggled to make her mind work, but it was hard. She was getting so sleepy...
"Well of course they wouldn't talk to you, you're--wait, who are you anyway? You're not Denvali, you're just, what, some...foreign...boy? No way the Denvali would talk to someone like you. If only I were there, they'd tell me what was going on." Then an idea clicked into place, and she felt fully alert. "But maybe, they'd talk to you if they knew a Denvali sent you! It's a long shot, but it might work! My family is about as Denvali as it gets; someone is bound to recognize the Davenport name!"
She spilled out the next words in a rush, focusing intently on Voss's face. "I still don't know if you're real, but if you are you have to remember this. My name is Alea Davenport. My parents are Jared and Elise Davenport. Someone in the Denvali quarter has to know those names. Er--don't...don't tell them you met me in a dream, whatever you do." She wanted to say more, but another wave of sleepiness overcame her, and her vision went dark. She could still feel the water around her, but she was having trouble concentrating on much else.
