She's not sure she likes being referred to as 'intriguing,' but Illyria's promised not to harm her. And she's interesting in her own right. Melanie wouldn't mind hearing what other plants have to say, if she can talk the god into translating.

Still, that blunt promise to find her is a little bit off-putting. She doesn't think Aziraphale would like that. "I'm warded," she says instead. She doesn't know if the angel's protective magic would work on Illyria, but she doesn't want the god bouncing off of it and getting upset. "You'll have to ask Aziraphale."
