"Sylphiel!" Lina didn't notice Sylphiel's other questions, oblivious as usual to her potential rivalship for Gourry's affection (not that she'd admit to being in competition for that, of all things, and she wasn't actually that oblivious as much as just ignoring it because really, how do you answer that?). She just noticed someone she knew who wasn't Zelgadis.
She walked over. "How're you doing?" she asked with a big grin. "Been awhile. No more hiding in bushes?" Although that had been Lina's blunder, so caught up in bandit toasting that she'd toasted her friend. Lina conveniently ignores that!
