Helen, I would consider picking up Bella, save that Helen's point about Nethwador is a good one. From the point of view of Leafa and Liornung, it would also be rather hard on them to see her go, which will give a bit to work with.
The other thing to keep me from picking her up is time constraints. I don't think I have the time to handle an extra character. So, whether we send her back, or someone else picks her up, I believe that, like Helen, I'll be all right with it either way. Poor Liornung will regret one of his song company leaving, but I think he can manage as well, as long as Ędegard is still up for a song now and then.
