The young man makes his way across Magincia to deliver the following missive.

Dear Lord Magnate,

It was lovely to see you this evening, as it always is to reacquaint with an old friend.

Thank you for your company and empathy. I know that were Walter among us, he would appreciate the kindness extended to me.

Truly I hope we do not let such a long time elapse until we meet again! After all, you are always welcome at whatever place I am calling home--we are practically family.

Happy sailing, and may the gods always watch over you.

~Merrique

*Isk stood along the coast of Magincia where the docks had once been. He accepted the youth warmly and opened the letter with the slightest smile beneath his emotionless mask. When the boy made his way to leave the Magnate stopped him with a strong grip, turned him around and set the letter to the youth’s back. It is then that Isk wrote the following on the back of the letter and had it returned to the sender*

I found joy in seeing you. Sadly we lost contact with the disappearance of your husband, Walter, though I know that there is something more that keeps us. A warm friend is something that is rare in these times and I would enjoy being graced by your presence at any opportunity. A visit for tea can reacquaint us.
