Velona's senses could only reach so far and so she was mercifully spared the full picture of what was before them -- but she could certainly hear it. Harvesting?!

"I don't want to know, honestly." She whispered back to Ovaan. "And even if I did, this might not be the best time to find out. We should-" She was promptly cut off by Maize's actions and Titanius's failed attempt to stop her. ". . . I guess we might be finding out anyway." She let out a sigh.

Dropping that line of thought momentarily, she turned her attention to Mia. As Titanius pinched her, Velona reached out to gently but firmly grip the girl's shoulder, hoping to keep her calm and stop her from snapping back to reality too violently from the pinch. She didn't know how good their enemy's hearing was, and she didn't want to test it.

"So... do we join her or do we try to get Maize back before she's harvested?" Velona asked the group as she bit her lip. She didn't want to leave Maize alone, but she was pretty certain that somewhere along the line during this "harvesting" process, it would prove quite fatal. She also had a bad feeling that a stealthy escape afterward might prove difficult. 

Velona then realized something. Tabaga had fought these things before, "Um, Tabaga. H-how strong are these things? If we were to sneak in, could we fight our way back out if it came down to it?"
