Subject: You got mini-boarders for beta-readers? Cool!

It is not impossible that sonofheaven176 goes by "sonofheaven176" on Google, but I’m quite sure that "Elieen" is wrong. Don’t feel too bad about this, you are not alone. I once caught "Hieonymus" in a fic I had beta’ed, hopefully before anybody else could see him. (Crediting the beta readers only after they did their job is a bad idea, because then the credits aren’t beta-read.)
Since I don’t trust the mini-boarders, and don’t know the sylvari’s language (or sylavari language?), I have to ask whether "sylavari" is the adjective form of "sylvari".
Also there is an unnecessary repetition:
She befriended me and told me of her plans to unite the the Three Orders of Tyria into One.
Besides these problems, this may be my favorite newbie-is-introduced-to-the-PPC story. Ava’s confusion and loneliness, and Salvo’s explanations are very well done, indeed, and their interaction is just great.
