Florin sat, puffy-eyed in his quarters, tutor looming over his shoulder as he painstakingly wrote the letter, as instructed. His tongue pushed through his teeth, as he focused on recalling the right words in Tholish. Though not perfect, he was far more confident with it than some of the other languages he had been required to learn. When he had finished to the satisfaction of his educator, instructions were sent for appropriate delivery. The letter read:
Dear Uncle,
Thank you very much for the treats you sent to me! It is not even the anniversary of my christening! Grandmother only wanted me to try a few, but I snuck the rest into my quarters when she went to bed. Don’t tell her!
Tholish sweets sure are neat! They’re really different than what we have here! Do my cousins get to have stuff like this every day?
I wanted to ask you a favor. I hope it is not trouble, but I sent you a thank you gift. Sort of. Asphodel was my mom’s owl. He used to go hunting with her a lot. But grandmother says I’m too young to hunt, and I feel bad for him. St. Helena is too big a city, and I think he might like your home. Grandmother said it’s “a wilderness”. Neato! I bet he’d enjoy it there. Just, please promise to let him go out lots! Cathal said mom used to take him out flying every night.
Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Florin
